The Color Of Your Thoughts

Say Hello

In this episode of Navigate the Day, we explore the power of our thoughts and how they color our world. The quote by Marcus Aurelius reminds us that our thoughts have a significant impact on the shape of our minds and the overall state of our spirit. We become what we think, and our thoughts have the power to shape our perceptions and experiences.

The journal prompt for this episode asks us to reflect on what thoughts are coloring our world. By being mindful of our thoughts and trying to cultivate a positive and constructive mindset, we can shape our experiences in a more positive way. Our thoughts are one of the few things we can control, and we have the power to choose what color to paint our world.

The host shares their own experience of how their thoughts were leaning towards the positive during a transition period in their career. They realized that when they focused on negative thoughts, it colored their world in shades of red, and they risked missing important nuances of living. By acknowledging and accepting change as inevitable, they became more comfortable with it and started to see it as an opportunity for growth.

Through self-awareness, mindfulness meditation, and support from friends, the host is becoming more vigilant over their thoughts and choosing to paint their world with more positive colors. They remind us that some negative thoughts are impulsive and unable to be eliminated, but we can fight back with positive or neutral rational thoughts instead of trying to dispel them.

Overall, this episode of Navigate the Day is an inspiring reminder of the power of our thoughts and how we can choose to shape our experiences in a positive way.
