The Two Simple Phrases That Will Change How You See The World
An effective technique for driving your mind and steering your thoughts
A Life-Changing Dream
By no means do I have life figured out.
Occasionally, I will lose my mind by getting too wrapped up in an issue or the maddening pace of life.
And there are times I find myself mentally wore out from obsessing over something so trivial, insignificant, or unchangeable that it isn’t worth my time thinking about…yet I still do.
However, I have developed a simple but profound technique for how to catch myself before I fall too deep into a hole of overthinking things. This technique involves saying two simple phrases that remind me of how to reign in my thoughts and bring my mind back to a more grounded center.
At the risk of scaring you off, these two phrases came to me as part of an intense and lucid dream I had during a difficult period in my life. My business partner and I were struggling to keep our business afloat during the Great Recession, a serious relationship turned sour, and then my brother died unexpectedly.
All of these events came crashing down on me hard, and they made me question what I was doing with my life.
