Many people living in one day at a time recovery eventually realize the reality of navigating their own thoughts. What many of us learn is our thoughts and our thinking are really two different functions of our minds. We do not have to be influenced by our thoughts as much as we might believe that we do. We will discover that when we think our minds are in a process of discerning our reality and our next, or our future course of action which is either to control what the outcome will be or to move on to a different task or reality. Thinking always prepares us for what is or what will be even when we try to amend our past. What we learn is thoughts are often from outside of ourselves which are often unworthy of our attention. What we discover is a good therapist or an intuitive person with a good deal of integrity can help. Many of us use centering prayer to help us let go. This is letting go and letting God. Today we can choose. Peace.
