When Your Thoughts Run Wildly

To begin, settle your body into a comfortable position. Take whatever seat is going to allow you to still, to quiet, to feel the breath as it enters your body, filling your lungs, letting it go. Welcome to a "Hit of Hope." As you sit in this quiet, imagine you are riding a horse. It’s beautiful, strong, and powerful underneath you.

Needed this reminder on this stormy Christmas morning.. Hugz Betsy.

I didn't know horses did that BUT I do know how hard it is to turn away from"barns" Thanks Betsy for the suggestions......When I next lose something or a person presses my buttons(one in particular😞) I'll give them a go. I wish Insight Timer had your posts in chronological order so I could easily find the latest one ...you have been pretty prolific and I want to thank you for sticking to your goal over the last two years nearly .......Please let me know the name of your book WHEN it gets published. 🙏👋❤

What a powerful metaphor. Thank you.

Let me tell you, my horse gets so much exercise, running between all those barns I have. I hadn’t heard of Thinking the Opposite, so I will try it, even though I can already hear other parts of my brain coming up with rebuttals to the opposite thoughts. But I think that just pulling up a positive often enough could start to make a difference. I hate how negative my thoughts tend to be, but maybe I can change that with some conscious effort. Also, I appreciate so much your responses to our responses! Obviously they take time and effort for you above and beyond the talk you post, but I think the dialogue makes a good thing even better. Sometimes I read what other people have written and I learn a lot from them too. I wish there could be a mini forum for each practice, like there is with the Daily Insights, but at least there’s this.

Thank you Betsy🙏 I get so much out of every single one of your Hits of Hope!💖

Making friends with the demons in the barn! Wonderful, as usual. Thank you yet again.
