Hi Everyone<\/p>\n

Yesterday I talked about observing your thoughts in order to understand yourself better. I spend the day observing my own thoughts and I can tell you that it was such an interesting journey! There were many things that I noticed. We have thousands of thoughts every day and I’m not going to go into everyone one a, because I can’t remember and b, you have a life and stuff to do! So I have picked one example that I feel could add some value to you.<\/p>\n

Few months ago I had a speeding ticket as I was going a little over the speed limit. When I received the letter I paid the fine and sent my license. A year ago I lost my license and then found it, so I managed to send the wrong licence away! A few months ago they sent me a letter and I have been trying to contact them since, however I have not been getting though on the line or phoning when the office was closed.<\/p>\n

This letter has been on my desk for weeks staring at me, screaming at me \u2018GEORGE SORT ME OUT!\u2019 So why am I telling you this? I noticed that every time I looked at this letter I would have a thought that would come into my mind. Then a feeling of anxiety, which would then lead to another thought. I noticed that every time I looked at the letter I would think of another thing that I hadn’t done! It was that feeling of, “oh no! I haven’t done my homework\u201d. Yesterday I thought, \u2018right enough is enough!\u2019 this thought is affecting other stuff. I phoned the DVLA and spoke to a lovely lady. It was all fine and is now all sorted. I was so relieved as sometimes I have had thoughts of me going to court as I haven’t sorted my licence out! You know those grand thoughts we dream up when we haven’t dealt with stuff! We have great imaginations don\u2019t we.<\/p>\n

So the moral and my advice to you is, if you have something on your “to do” list that has been on there a while do it today! It will be making an impacting on lots of other stuff and when you do it you feel so much lighter! If I hadn’t been observing my thoughts I might not have noticed this silly little thing that was bothering me and impacting on other things.<\/p>\n

I am keen to know how your day went when you were observing your thoughts. I hope it was interesting and you learnt some stuff about you, your greatest project and constant masterpiece that will never be finished.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day.<\/p>\n

George<\/p>\n
