| Some Thoughts to Think On ©Cort Curtis, Ph.D. |
- My thoughts determine my feelings. It is not what's happening in
my external world that determines my feelings but rather the
thoughts I think about what is happening.
- I am responsible for the thoughts I think. I have made my thoughts
and forgot that I made them.
- I can choose to remember that I made my thoughts. I must choose
my negative thoughts to know that I can eliminate them.
- My thoughts are remnants from my past.
- My beliefs about myself and the world are a system of organized
thoughts that I tell myself over and over.
- I have taken my thoughts, images and beliefs to be who I am but
the reality is I am not my thoughts and images.
- I am so attached to my beliefs, even my negative ones, that I will
not easily give them up even in the face of self-destruction.
- My beliefs determine my behavior and outlook on life. I can
change my behavior and view of the world by giving up certain
beliefs.
- I am "caught in thought", that is, I am a prisoner of my own
thinking and beliefs.
- I am lost in my thoughts and memories of the past. I can release
my past by completing the unfinished feelings associate with my
memories.
- I can take responsibility for my thinking and feelings by being
willing to observe my thinking and feelings in the here-and-now.
- The only reality is now. The past is over and the future is not yet.
- I have an inherent ability to choose my thoughts and feelings. I
can consciously develop my ability to eliminate unwanted thoughts
and feelings at will.
- I am responsible for the negativity in my life.
- I determine how I choose to see a situation.
- The way out of negativity is through it.
- Negative thoughts are like weeds in a garden. Unless they are
plucked they will tend to overtake my consciousness.
- I can live my life without living in my thoughts.
- While I may have been victimized by circumstances, it is only me
which determines whether I remain a victim.
- I have chosen fear over love.
- My happiness is a function of eliminating my negative thinking.
Trying to "pursue" happiness on top of unhappiness is an
exercise in futility.
- Trying to change another through control and blame never works.
Paradoxically, giving another the space to be who they are leads
to the possibility of real change. I can positively influence another
person by taking the lead and being the change I am looking for.
However, there are no guarantees.
- The world is my mirror. What I "see" in other people is really me.
