attention

Easy to spot a yellow car when you are always thinking of a yellow car. Easy to spot opportunity when you are always thinking of opportunity. Easy to spot reasons to be mad when you are always thinking of being mad. You become what you constantly think about. Watch yourself.

your mind has a tendency to dwell on the aspects of you that need improvement, fuelled by established patterns of subconscious self-scrutiny in the name of self-improvement to counteract this, make a deliberate effort to recognise the goodness, sweetness & delightfulness in you

my tendency’s been to fixate on what’s difficult, painful, or scary in my experience, with a sincere desire to improve or change them. lately, i’m convinced there’s a better option: to shift my attention to what's good, beautiful, and pleasurable & allow those to saturate my life
