It’s not external factors and the world that decide how I feel but my mind.
I suppose most people tend to forget about the fact that our well-being and mood depend primarily on ourselves. Thus, I want to stress it in this post. I am also the one who forgets it. The truth is that I am only a human. I know external factors can influence my mood. Still, when it happens, I usually try to explain that I cannot control external factors. The truth is the only person I can influence is me, myself, and I. Of course, I can only try to affect others, but my limitations are enormous. Thus, we should not worry about other peoples’ thoughts, feelings, and words because they are totally out of our control. If we cannot control it, why should we waste our time and energy trying to change it?
It does not make sense to me. We cannot even control in 100% our thoughts.
Obsessional ideas can appear in the minds of all people. We should not worry about anything because everything is out of control. I know I repeat many past thoughts. Still, if there is something worth repeating and stressing, I do it.
Moreover, I do it to learn all these things. To understand that the world does not decide how I feel. Even such horrible things as the war in Ukraine should not influence my mood. Issues in my professional work? The same issue. I wrote this text on the 28th of October, 2022. I live in times when there is a high risk of using nuclear weapons near Poland’s border. Mainstream spread fear about it. How not to get crazy? By realizing that external factors cannot influence my mood. I hope, my Dear Friend, that you also learn something from this writing. Remember, it is 99% up to you how you feel.
