--->>> OTT --- Old Thought Thoughts! <<<---

[SourceShield]

Greetings!

This post is about LIMITING-BELIEFS, or as me and my brother Matt now call them, Old Thought Thoughts - OTT.

---

This post will most likely not appeal to many people, because I am writing about our beliefs that we have about life and ourselves, that we all have had for much of our life.

Our beliefs are personal, and yet oddly the 'same' as well.

---

There is a school of thought that teaches us that when we identify the OTT i.e. I am unlovable.

Relate to the OTT, rather than from it.

We can then release the attachment to the OTT, as well as the aversion to the OTT.

For example -

A child is told that they are no good, useless and worthless, every other day.

-sadly, this is a story often told, by many.

As this child grows a set of OTT have been programmed into the mind-body of the now grown adult-child.

I am no good.

I am useless.

I am worthless.

etc etc etc

The adult-child now has an attachment to the OTT.

But also you would see an aversion to those OTT as well.

I am no good <- the attachment.

And, I hate that I am no good <- the aversion. The judgement for having the OTT in the first place, keeps us attached to the OTT.

---

Not all beliefs are limiting.

All beliefs are fluid.

They are mutable - liable to change, as all things in existence are!

But...

How do we release the OTT?

Thats what we're most interested in!.

I am going to share a few things of how I am learning to release all of the OTT that once ruled my life, and would love to read yours as well!.

1) Refer to the OTT being in the past. If we keep on affirming the OTT in the present moment, it stays in the present moment. By writing and talking about the OTT being in the past, youre correcting the memory. REWIRE!

2) I AUGMENT positive memories. Whatever they are, whenever they happened. This is why I actively look for things to be thankful and grateful for. Appreciation, heals! And thats now science...if youre interested in the research about this, let me know!

3) I have learned to ask for help, and to RECEIVE it graciously, whenever it comes to me. And, it always does.

4) I SMILE and LAUGH more. Theres research for this too!

5) I have changed my eating habits. I EAT WELL now. I am now on the Guts and Psychology Syndrome foodplan GAPS. I used to be obese. No more.

6) I EXPRESS in healthy ways - dance, music, write..

7) I take time out to LOVE - my family, friends, my dog bundy, nature..

REMEMBERING to LOVE is a biggie!.

And, whatta 'bout you?...

Good morning DD. Thanks for holding my hand. Thats so sweet and kind of you. I was rather nervous. But, reading this thread and every ones comments and replies, and stories, has caused me to do some loving soul searching. Feels good to let of a little more baggage. Less is best in my case. Thats more than Ive shared about myself in like forever!.

Thank you for your greetings Kaz. You seem very wise to me. Youre balancing your life again. If that makes sense? I know disastering as well. I can so relate to that. My therapist also called it like catastrophizing, I think its just about when my mind goes really too far with one really bad feeling thought, and then all of a sudden my brain will compute all the ways that everything could go wrong. Give me a break. What do you do that works?

I agree with Mr Source about the birds eye technique, I think thats an emotional freedom technique. Its pretty good. Theres just no quick answer though.

Oh wow, thats more than I have ever written.

Im going to meditate now. I have work a little later. I need to get myself into a positive frame of mind. Working as a waitress can be gruelling.

"Hi!", to everyone else here as well. I'll check in later with you lovelies!

Love

Good afternoon,

Earth - goldenboy is gold today - love ya sister, nice profile picture. What is its meaning to you? I have dreams of falling, when I'm one with the universe i receive a bolt of lighting through my whole body ....a shock like i hit the ground. My fear is so deep that it's in my sub/unconscious. I want to find it so I can release it.

Wolf - You bring the best and worst out of everyone, this is how it must be, we must face our demons before we can accept them. This is why I love ya. Its a hard job....but you are the man for it. Have a great day at work, I think you might of forgot a few more hats brother. Please don't shy away from that gift. It truly helped when you "kicked" me up. Many thanks. Keep pushing bro, it really helps.

Welcome Feychild - your accepted. Write until you are happy. As long as that takes. Earth and everyone here are holding your cyber hand.

Kazza - your helping me by releasing your OTT. (Im not alone) One a day will keep the dr away. Passion fruit you say? Throw some my way. But keep those weeds.

Hay crazy cool Shelly- where you at? You'll be back. I just know it. I apologize for the openness last night. I meant it with a kind heart. Your accepted here. We don't need to start at the beginning (childs mind) just slowly work backwards...a little at a time. Correct me if I'm wrong too. I will not be offended. StrongOne thats your new name.

Panther - bro....nice to see you out of bed before 6pm. Nice one. Is that in your HWJT.? You conquered your ASPD for a brief time.....last night. Keep it up.... I'm proud of you. You deserve to be a brother. Welcome to the family. Now we sound like Mafia. Welcome to da family.......Bahahahahaha thats gold. (Absolute truth).

To everybody else reading this..............join us, open your heart, eyes, mind, soul and be free.

Step by step

Slow and steady

When you're ready

On another note: It's the freaking silly season, be careful.......an angry trance is at the shops.

Bahahahahaha

GoldenBoy

Good day GoldenBoy.

Glad youre good today. You deserve peace and happiness. I will have to have a big think about your dream situation there. Very interesting.

The Hobby Falcon is a native to our country. Smart and strong, and small in size, than many bords of prey, but powerful all the same. I wanted to find a picture that showed my spirit.

I also like the idea of this birds eye technique. Id like to learn more about that thanks, Wolf.

Im happy to see that you are free of the trance Goldenboy!. Im glad you like youre new name. Suits you.

I have family here tonight, so I will be back on tomorrow most likely.

Talk soon.
