“When you drink water from a cup, it becomes part of you. When water falls on you like rain, it evaporates a few minutes later.
Similarly, thoughts can be consumed or dismissed. Is this thought nourishing? Is this feeling something you should drink? Or is it more like getting caught in the rain?
You’ll always feel the rain, but you don’t have to drink the rain. You can let the thought pass and in a few moments the sun will return. You don’t have to claim everything you feel.”
- James clear
This beautiful analogy highlights the power of choice in managing your thoughts and feelings.
Easier said than done. It needs a lot of practice, selfawareness and self compassion. Mastering your thoughts takes a lot of time and conscious effort, but its a crucial step to deal with negativity.
