They're Not Facts!

Acknowledge that the thoughts in your mind (about 60,000 per day) aren't facts. Just because you have a thought, doesn't make it true. Observe your thoughts. When an upsetting one comes up, ask yourself, "Is this a fact?" If it's just a theory, let it go. Stay present! That's where peace resides.

It's easy to get distracted by all the chaos in our brains. How can we not? It's tempting to believe everything we think. But if I were to ask you how many of your thoughts actually came to pass, I'd be willing to say, none. Or not many.

Don't believe all your thoughts to be gospel. See them for what they are: a clear distraction that keeps you from living in the now.
