Afraid to Think!

Jennifred Jones

Why??? God gave you your very own mind and you were created with a free will! Free to think!

But I don’t know what to think or how. This is something for you to think about. It’s easy to go through life letting others – high and low, tell us what to do and what to think, but you have a life to live and the freedom to think and decide on your own. Really, on the inside, you want to but don’t trust your own thoughts many times.

One of the best cures for this is to get alone, turn everything off and think. One of my favorite places to think was at the ironing board (what’s that?) or working in the flower bed with my hands in the dirt.

  • Think about the things you want to think about – one at a time.
  • Are these my thoughts?
  • Do I think they are true and beneficial?
  • How do I feel inside about this subject?
  • Think about others who have successfully navigated this.
  • Look to the examples from the past – from past centuries!
  • Read good books to become knowledgeable.
  • Talk about it with a very close friend – in person preferably.
  • Then think some more.

Good thinking is a process, takes time, careful observation, solitude and often change in ourselves.

YOU! Be the master of your own thoughts. Develop and grow and become who you really want to be. It’s your mind! And your life!

The Chrysalis

Jennifred Jones

Currently I’m in a state of chrysalis.

I got tired of being a caterpillar crawling around chewing on leaves. I wanted to see changes in my life. The only way to become a butterfly flying freely whenever and wherever, is to go through the metaphorical process of the chrysalis!

Big words yes, but big results!

Sometimes the chrysalis stage can be so difficult, so taxing … so like we just want to burst out of where we are, but cannot quite do it …we aren’t quite ready , but we are growing and developing.

The churning inside, pushing away from the old past…stretching and leaning…yearning towards the new …to what we want to become… at times seems too great!

That’s what every other butterfly had to do and they came out successfully, and we will too… if we stick with the process. Then, when we look back, it won’t seem that long we were in the transformation. It will be so rewarding! We will be so glad we endured through the process.

I am hanging in there through my chrysalis of becoming a better me.

What are you pushing through right now that seems impossible?

Keep pushing; you will find the way!
