a moment's fixation

It's weird how we can think something in a moment of pause and or reaction to something we are experiencing.


A feeling can turn into a fixation - and we can go either way in mood if we don't keep a lid on things and keep mindful


about it. 


A moment's fixation can turn into something bigger so i am learning to choose carefully.

I call that moment pause thinking "God Whispers" where I get ideas, questions answered to get the help I need, or at least where I can 'be mindful in the moment' to find peace of mind.

I do not allow my 'feelings' to dictate my thoughts or my life, if I did, I'd not move from the comfort of my bed.

Good for you Marky.... How do you keep the lid on sweetie?... This is something that I can struggle with at times... I tend to be a worrywart ....xo

I don't know if this makes sense - but if I catch myself going either down or up I try and find a sense of being with someone else - and so that's my benchmark for my consideration - a middle ground. It's like a kind of stoicism but more so firm ground like if I were dealing with customers at work. I have to keep things in proportion so that I can do my job effectively and well. No matter the input :)

Thinking the fixation taking over is a part of the perception of the situation, and the way we process info/thinking leads to actions/behaviors...???
