One Thought
What is the One Thought that is consuming you today?
I find that each of us typically have one headline that consumes our minds. It is similar to how a news channel’s editor will focus news stories around one major topic. Usually that topic will stay in the news for 3-4 days (e.g. Mexican Drug Wars, Pirate Attacks, North Korea, etc.)
So, what is consuming you right now? What One Thought is scrolling through your mind today? Is it a good thought or a negative one?
Why am I asking? Because your answer will affect your day dramatically. It will infect your communication and your attitude, whether good or bad, and ultimately your relationships.
I remember a time when I helped a young up-and-comer deal with consistent worry. After talking through it with her we both realized that she was consumed by worry in the morning on her way to work. Her One Thought consumed her to such a degree that she couldn’t function at the level she needed to in her job. Her One Thought was a looping headline that needed to be turned off.
So what is a solution? For her it was changing her morning routine. Instead of a routine of worry, she woke up to a simple reading devotional. She then started turning music on and the television off. When she got in her car she played her monthly created playlist of positive music. When she got to her desk she focused on how she wanted to feel at the end of the day. She then began to lead her One Thought with the right boundaries versus having her One Thought lead her.
If your One Thought is negative, how do you set boundaries and lead it versus having it lead you? If your One Thought is positive, let it out. Enjoy!
