As thoughts and emotions come through our minds, whether consciously or subconsciously we harbor some of them. While some float on through, our mind grabs onto others and anchors them down, absorbing them, believing them. Just as we care for our bodies by choosing carefully what we eat or drink, we must also care for our minds and hearts by being selective in what thoughts and feelings we allow to be anchored. What comes in eventually sees its way out whether through words, actions, physical appearance etc. What we anchor in our minds affects our perception of oneself and the around us. It affects our relationships, mood and daily life. Today take a moment to dig into what your allowing a permanent space for in your mind snd heart. Is it helpful, uplifting, true? Is it encouraging you to be a better version of yourself, or is that anchor just weighing you down? Do you have anchors weighing others down?
Life is a crazy thing, what's crazier is how we each define the course we take through it. Often times we categorize our lives by the bigger more obvious choices, for instance taking a job, going back to school, getting married, having children etc. If we created a road map of our lives on paper it would likely consist of big landmark choices. Is it truly those big choices however that sum up our lives? Is it really those land mark sized choices that got us where we are today and propel us further into the future? I'd like to argue that they are not. Every day, every moment we are faced with choices, big and small choices. Perhaps the most seemingly miniscule choices are in fact the most monumental. When you start your day, what thoughts do you allow into your head? How do you nurture your mind, body and soul when you rise and when you begin to settle down for the day? How do you choose to interact with those around you, how do you speak to them? How do you speak to yourself,
