Our Thoughts Have An Effect On Our Future

If you would agree that thought comes before action, and action can cause an effect - which influences results... then you must also agree that your past thoughts have directly influenced the options now available to you - or the consequences being extracted from you.

That is, everything you are experiencing today are the results brought about by the thoughts you had entertained, and actions you have taken - in your past.

For those in crisis, despair and isolation - the only answer to your troubles, the only solution to your pain, the only path to a brighter future - is to realize that your thoughts now, are creating your future of tomorrow... and to take whatever steps you can to find and hold better feeling thoughts.

How To Find Good Thoughts During Crisis

Seek a guide. 

Find an outside source that will engage your thinking and direct it.

This can be a book, it can be a podcast, it can be inspirational videos on YouTube, it can be a patient friend or it can be a professional Counselor - whatever your source, it is your intention that is directing the change, the guide is assisting you.

If you are a visual learner, watch a meditation video. If you are an auditory learner, listen to guided meditation MP3s on your phone with a good pair of noise canceling ear buds.

Learn New Skills From Others

Just as we learn new skills in sports by watching others and practicing copying their moves - we can learn new skills in thinking, we can pay attention to better feeling thoughts by listening to the advice and guidance of others.

Your Emotions, Health and Success

Happiness is something we feel. Peacefulness is something we feel. They are emotions that we feel.

The emotions we feel are largely a result of the thoughts we think.

Just as chronic stress can cause hypertension, which has been directly linked to disease - chronic relaxation and happiness have also been linked to health and healing.
