A Labyrinth Home

I’ve been seeing the following quote everywhere recently: “If you can overthink the worst-case scenario, then you can overthink the best-case scenario.” There is certainly something to this message! Oftentimes, our monkey mind tends to ruminate on situations that bring us despair or anxiety or upset – it’s like you are your own worst enemy at times. If that’s true, though, can’t we also be our own best friend and overthink the absolute best scenario coming to fruition? Our mind wants us to think that we are a lost cause, not able to create the life of our dreams, or fulfill our heart’s desires. However, the good news is that we can choose whether to believe in those negative belief patterns, or not. Thoughts are just energy forms that cross our mind at a particular moment and then, luckily, they return to the ethers or wherever they came from. Meaning, we are not our thoughts. We are not our minds. We can detach and just look at them as if we were watching a movie – allow them to come and go – and don’t ruminate on any of them. I took a course awhile back called the Creative Insight Journey with Jennifer Grace, and she said this process is analogous to having a tennis match, except instead of battling another person, we are battling our minds. When we are served a negative thought, such as, “I am not good enough,” or “I am not worthy,” we can hit the ball right on back and actually replace it with something the most loving person in our lives would say to us. For example, if I think, “I am not good enough,” just actively replace that thought with, “I am more than enough. I am lovable. I am generous. I am kind..” This process can be utilized in envisioning our future too. When we think, “I have no future. There is no hope,” we can acknowledge the thought without getting attached to it, and instead, actively replace it with, “my future is so bright, I’ll need to wear sunglasses.” Ha. Or whatever works for you!

Be intentional with your thoughts, overthink the best and brightest future for yourself!
