Where do they come from and where do they go to? We can't see or touch them but they sure do exist and can delight or torment us.
So our brain assesses situations, relates them to past experiences to tell us whether something is a threat or not and how we should feel about and react to it. However, memories are not always accurate so can we rely on this observation?
If we are aware of this and take a mindful moment to ponder such, we afford ourselves the opportunity to reframe a troublesome thought or broaden our perspective on how we view things.
This may just enable us to take a more objective and helpful approach to how and what we think, preventing the chimp from hijacking our mind yet again
Let's compare it to taking a photograph from a potentially different angle, adjusting the focus to gain more clarity of what and how we see. Maybe making it brighter and increasing the resolution to see more clearly. Avoid using the cropping tool to view the whole picture with greater accuracy.
Just a thought but worth a mention.
