I follow my thoughts - How our thoughts shape our everyday lives

I follow my thoughts


 For a long time, I didn't realize
that I follow my own thoughts
at every turn.

My thoughts are followed
by my feelings.
My feelings are followed
by my words,
and my words are followed
by my actions.

My whole life unfolds in this order.
Everything begins with my thoughts.

Isn't it all the more important,
then, to think positive thoughts?

I have to admit
 that this takes a lot of effort.
 If I just let myself go,
 or don't intentionally think
 about something good,
 in times of boredom or loneliness,
negative thoughts dominate.
 Everything that follows
 is then shaped by them.
 But I don't want to live
 my life like that.

So I have to make the effort
to intentionally think about
 good and positive things.
 This is usually much more
time-consuming than simply
 giving in to negativity.

I realize the effort  
is absolutely worth it.

Suddenly, good ideas
come to me again.

I feel decidedly better
 and gain a new perspective on others,
which is accompanied
 by much more empathy
 and a willingness to help.

Words of encouragement
and edification flow from my lips again,
and reconciliation and forgiveness
are paramount.
 Deeds of helpfulness soon follow.

Overall, I am considerably
more satisfied with my life
when I practice thinking
positive thoughts.

Proverbs 10:11 (The Israel Bible)
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But lawlessness covers the mouth of the wicked.


Proverbs 15:28 (The Israel Bible)
The heart of the righteous man rehearses his answer, But the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
