MANAGING THOUGHT PATTERNS

Part of developing the inner self, is to develop a thought pattern.
Recognising how certain thoughts, create certain emotions and/or feelings.
Tracing the root of the feelings and/or emotions and the personal reactions because of those feelings/emotions.

Sometimes, it is possible to trace the root from as long ago as childhoold, but sometimes the thoughts have been causing emotions/feelings for such a long time that they have become part of a habit.
We may not even realise that our thoughts affect our emotions/feelings, especially if we have been doing things the same way, within the same environment for a long time. Everything happens automatic.

For instance, take a white paper and put a dot on it. If you ask 10 people what they see on the paper, 9 out of 10 will say they see a dot. Only 1 out of 10, might see the white paper.

It is the same with our relationships.

Changing the pattern of thoughts, helps a person to see things a different way. The feelings, emotions and reactions which were linked to the old thought patters are altered as well.
