Chris says more insightful things than Steve to me

I really like this soundbite, it makes me think of something I've been working on lately.

I started to think about kindness as though it were a skill and have been practiaing it like you would with any other skill.
When I pet an animal, I ask it how it's doing and tell it to have a nice day. When my internet is buffering I'll give it encouragement. When I stub my toe I take a deep breath and apologize to the coffee table.
It all feels a little bit rediculous but, working in hospitality, I've noticed an incredible shift in how I feel around customers and consequently how I treat them. When a customer is angry or upset or makes a mess my first thought is ALWAYS one of sympathy and I have a vastly increased level of patience. By forcing myself to act in a more positive and caring way I've also trained myself to thing in a more positive and caring way which I think is something worth sharing.

Also you can't completely control your thoughts. You just want to manage them so that they are generally good by doing actions that give you good thoughts.

I was not expecting two British accents...

This is the basics of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy... You should really interview a CBT therapist if you haven't already... Should be an interesting dialogue 😊

If you wanna change how you feel, focus on what u doing, and if you want to change what u 're doing focus on how u feel.
Easy peasy 😂

I hear this sun light first thing a lot. What kind of lives must you live for the sun to be already rising when you awake? What's your advice for people who get up before the dawn?

[jameswilkerson]

I’d think psychedelics would make one’s thoughts go all over the place

[jdharris]

What if you're up at 4:30 everyday? Out walking by 4:45? lol not trying to pick a fight it's just funny how everybody talks about how important sunlight is but I'm at work before the sun even comes up. Oh well. I still try to get as much sunlight as I can and do as much walking as I can.

I do all the right things but still feel like shit. My thoughts just keep coming

If it was relatively easy to control your actions, we would all be gods

Men think about nothing so it can't be that hard

[Jay-rbpg]

Wait...people have trouble controlling their thoughts?

[notyourusualsuspect]

This is so true.
I did it, but was forced - in the way of getting all my SoMe account deleted.
It gave my unrest in the first two days, after that everything kinda just tuned down and I had a way easier path to control how I react to external distractions.
I feel myself coming back

[soulprosperitypioneers]

yes, like stopping drinking was the easiest thing I ever did, but AA made me think it was hard and I had to stay there. But the way to change my thinking is to get my believing in line with the Word. Then good fruit will be produced naturally in my life w/out any labor on my part.

[MrJamesdryable]

It's not difficult, it's impossible.

[inamnaser]

This guy is so wrong! Don’t know why he is talking about this topic. I don’t think he should be talking about this when he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Cuz we human beings cant do anything without thinking

[Hogballs]

This is freestyle rap but for success bros
