The mind is everything; what you think, you become. But it is not just a question of what you think, it is also a question of what you think about. If you dwell on the negative, you will become negative. If you dwell on the positive, you will become positive. The choice is yours.
This passage emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's thoughts and emotions. When we dwell on negative thoughts, we can become overwhelmed by them. However, by choosing to focus on positive thoughts, we can cultivate a more positive mindset and reduce feelings of overwhelm. This is especially relevant for individuals who struggle with anxiety or depression. By being more mindful of our thoughts, we can learn to regulate our emotions and manage stress more effectively.
