“TEND TO THE GARDEN OF YOUR MIND. THE MOST IMPORTANT GARDEN OF YOUR LIFE.“

 

And so I ask myself today; WHAT ARE THE NECESSARY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS that brings me closer towards who I want to be and what I want to live and achieve?

 

Which WORDS are NECESSARY to speak and share?

 

For my wellbeing – mental and physical health – and the contentment of my soul;

What is NECESSARY TODAY?

 

For a brief and concrete summary of this article I could simply quote the spiritual axiom that “where attention goes, energy flows“. For a wider perspective follows a deeper exploration and investigation below.

 

What do I mean by NECESSARY? I mean not too much and not too less. Not too high nor too low. I mean thinking thoughts that serves the decided direction of my life, my sense of meaning and the desires of my soul. Thoughts outside of who I want to be, how I want to live, what I want to represent and what I want to create is not necessary. Thoughts that distracts me from my purpose and my values are unnecessary. Thoughts that guides me on my path towards there is.

 

And if I do not focus and think necessary thoughts, then unnecessary thoughts will by default arise and take their place. If I do not water the seeds of the rose, the weeds will grow instead.

 

What is unnecessary thoughts then? Thoughts that pulls me down, brings me out from the present moment and away from my personal power. Thoughts that is not aligned with my desired state of being.

 

Importantly, it is not about rejecting or supressing negative thoughts but to become aware of them in order to grow and transcend. Recognizing negative and unconscious thought patterns that I know does not serve my energy, direction, and aims in this life is part of the process. By observing without attachment I am becoming aware and the emotional charge connected with the thoughts is being released and by default I am removing myself from and transcending the limiting beliefs.

 

When thinking about things outside (against) of my path and desired aim I place my attention there, which means I use part of my mental capacity on things that doesn’t aid or serve me and my intentions, aims, and goals. In other words, “I am betting against myself”.

 

To translate this into the material we can look at “my attention” as money in the bank. The bank being my mind and mental capacity and the money on the account being potential energy (available attention) that I have to use. And where I focus my attention is where I spend my money – i.e. PAY MY ATTENTION.

 

And this is part of life. All the days we spend our money and all the time we pay with our attention as we “pay attention to things”. The important point here then is that we learn to direct our attention consciously. That we pay for (buy) what serves our specific person in regards to our values, what we value, and what we want from life.

 

And this is another part of the journey of life. To “Get to Know Myself” in order to truly learn what I want and what serves me. Not only what I like or want to feel in this moment but in regard to the future as well. Seeing the whole picture is looking beyond the immediate sensation and anticipate the future consequences and effects of my actions today and now.

 

For example for me (personally), I know that Coca-Cola does not serve my desired state of being. Drinking it would immediately create headache, lower my vibration and creating a sense of sluggishness, dullness, and heaviness. Something which I do not desire. So I would never today give away “my hard earned cash” to “get that” effect. i.e. Paying to get sick and low. Nor would I drink it for free, or even if I got paid, because I value to such a degree my personal mental and physical health and state. (I am using this as an example as it is very clear to ME, but of course I have various blind spots of what serves in the grander picture and not. And on another point we all relate differently to everything that we consume. We are all unique and so is our experience. If you want to drink soda drinks and it works for you go ahead, it’s just not for me.)

 

And in this sense I am learning to not pay my attention to and nourish thoughts and beliefs that does not serve what I want and have decided to attain. The power of belief is strong and as such I chose to place close attention to my thoughts and what they create.

 

When I have decided something I am going to follow my commitment through and any thoughts of doubt that goes against my intentions are not only unnecessary but directly damaging. This (negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs) is partly how my inner resistance is formalizing, and I am learning through my daily practices and my willingness to evolve to give it less attention, and thus less life force.

 

I am learning to recognize and observe any thoughts of “I can’t”, “I don’t want to”, “it will never happen”, “it is not for me”, “I am not good enough and never will be”, “it is too good to be true” etc. etc. And as I observe I am distancing myself from the creation of this potential and aligning my energy, focus, and attention only towards what I aim to create.

 

And this is what comes to me now. The necessary words for me to see this part of the puzzle. I hope this may awaken or open something for someone else as it has for me.

 

Speaking about what is Necessary and Not

 

Someone may think that I used a lot of words here to explain a very simple thing. And maybe I did! I am not a Master of Communication and I am learning to express more preciselyevery day. And by practicing and sharing, I am learning. And the more I practice the more I learn and the less unnecessary words do I use. And this is an art which evolves and constantly changes. Because sometimes just a few words or a sentence is enough. Sometimes no words are necessary and even a cough can cut the moment. And sometimes repetition and saying the same thing in different ways, covering the tracks, and explaining the sides and concerns is necessary in order for the message to get across and for the being to receive.

 

Beyond this, it is interesting to see how the writing unfolds and the messages comes to and through me in this period in my life as I am allowing myself to be more open and fluid and less rigid and strict.

 

Today I had my schedule in front of me and set the alarm to write 30 minutes about one of my core values –> CONSISTENCY. But before I began I just wanted to write down to myself a “message of the day” that came to me from the morning session of the flow60.com program I am currently participating in:

 

“Stop thinking unnecessary thoughts” and “Get out of your own way”, which evolved to “Stop speaking unnecessary words and do unnecessary actions” which then (3 hours later) turned into everything here above and below.

 

From just those few words all of these words came. Just by sitting down and allowing things to flow. And more was there in the periphery ready to be addressed and released, but I did my best to not entertain every aspect and trying to seal all cracks. Because that would have led me into a rabbit hole which would have taken most of the day and beyond.

 

I am doing my best to practice what I preach and address what is necessary to get the point across. And perhaps someone reads and gives their point of view and maybe questions a point or part based on that, and from that further branches, explanations, and perspectives will grow.

 

And finally, as I went into this topic, it came “at the cost” of deepening into Consistency (a core value) which has been on my list to concretize for quite some time now.

 

Which brings me to the question; Was all this necessary then? Or a waste of time at the cost of what needed to be done based on what I aimed to do?

 

Honestly I do not know. But I don’t think so. For whatever reason this seemed necessary to get across. This was and is the message of the day and I am pleased that I “went with the flow”. While also recognizing that there are always powerful information in the field waiting to be received and released and if I am constantly open and “only” share what is present in this very moment I might may not connect to and create what I have decided to.

 

And today. instead of writing about consistency I honour my intention of Consistency by sharing what I write. To be consistent in publishing and keeping this online presence active and alive.
