Thoughts are Powerful and life-changing! How to Handle Your Thoughts?
We think until we go to sleep. We think until we die. Waves of thoughts come and go. We often take decisions based on our thoughts. Thoughts can change our moods, Thoughts can make us laugh, cry, regret, or become angry. That is to say, thoughts are powerful.
But have you ever noticed, we can’t remember our thoughts for a long time, especially when random thoughts are circulating in our minds? You have already forgotten what you were thinking even a few minutes ago! Thoughts and strings of thoughts just flow randomly.
Focusing on a particular thought is really tough until we are enthusiastic about it. Thoughts can be positive or negative. The types of thoughts that mostly come to your mind affect your life, lifestyle, and personality. But when you start thinking about a topic, such as when you are planning to write something, your thoughts become more constructive. It also happens that when you are pondering over a certain topic, another constructive and related thought comes to your mind. These thoughts are more patterned. You can work on those thoughts. This is another reason why we say thoughts are powerful.
Thoughts never settle themselves unless we pay attention to them individually. You have to train your mind to focus on a particular thought or string of thoughts, and if you want to work on those thoughts, you have to change the way you handle them.
Marvelous ideas are developed when you can assemble your thoughts. So what can you do to keep your creative thoughts alive?
- Write down the thought and any related matters immediately.
- You can create a mind map of the idea and related points.
- You can record it on your smartphone as well.
- If time permits, expand the idea as much as possible, immediately.
But, in any case, work on it as soon as possible. Ensure that thoughts don’t heap up in your notebook month after month. You will lose track of the thought if you do not work on it right away. At least, give it a structure on which you can work later. Just as thoughts disappear from our minds if we don’t record them, working on the thoughts or turning them into ideas becomes difficult if you delay. As you delay, you lose the perspectives that came to your mind along with the thought.
