Who you are is a compilation of the things you do every day. Every single action you take was at first a thought in your mind. When you get up for a drink of water, the thought “I’m thirsty” came first. Meditation reveals our subconscious thoughts, allowing insight into what drives our emotions and behaviors. With introspection, you will find that even seemingly random acts are the product of beliefs or habits of thinking. In recognizing and defining your habits, you can redefine your life.
Exercise: Become a keen observer of your thoughts. The moment you feel sadness (for example) creeping up, ask yourself, “What thought is making me sad?” Say it out loud. Is the thought a fact, or just something you've trained yourself to believe? Our thinking is the source of our discomfort AND our joy. Train your mind to think peaceful thoughts, and you will find yourself leading a peaceful life.
