Run the Thought Through This Filter

One quick check can change your whole day.

The thoughts in your head are not always true.

They are often loud.

Often repetitive.

Often convincing.

So here is a simple filter.

Is it true?

Is it kind?

Is it helpful?

When you notice a thought, run it through those three questions.

If the answer is no to any of them, you can let it go.

Not by fighting it.

Not by shaming yourself for thinking it.

Just by remembering:

It is a thought.

Not the truth.

Not always useful.

This is how you start becoming a safer place to live inside your own mind.

Awaken Awareness:

Today, notice just ONE thought.

Run it through the filter:

Is it true?

Is it kind?

Is it helpful?

If it fails the test, gently remind yourself:

That is just a thought.

I do not have to obey it.

Then choose a better one.

Love,

Jenna
