Daily Gratitude: I can attest to this fact. It doesn’t take much for my imagination to try to be like Walt Disney’s. There’s a fierce competition going on there. One little thought and off it goes. As I was preparing for my trip to Tennessee for Vol State, any little symptom became a major crisis. I really need to find a way to combat this. Or at least derail it once it starts. Emmet Fox wrote “The Golden Key” and advises that we should immediately stop thinking about whatever negative thought has come to mind and put it on something spiritual. This takes control and intent but in the past when I’ve been able to practice it, it has worked well. Once it’s gone too far, though, it takes immense power to pull the mind away from that negative sequence because that’s exactly what has happened- that one negative thought has started rolling down the mountainside and has built up momentum and it’s become an avalanche. I, personally, need some graphic visualization to help me stop that sequence of events. I am looking at all I love in order to find something specific I can turn my focus to immediately upon engagement with that negativity. How do you all manage to stop the progression?
