The more pain we feel around an issue or situation, the more black and white our thoughts become. The mind becomes rigid and often exagerates the negative, labeling a person/action/characteric of ourselves as all bad or all good.
This process really misses many details and complexities and drains us of color.
It also causes us to be more harsh and judgemental with others and our selves.
Think of a situation you have strong feelings about. What color are your thoughts?
More than likely they are not a rainbow. And you may need to relax and open to up to other points of view.
This is one of the purposes of psychotherapy. There are many approaches and models; however most aim at forming new stories, outlooks and neural pathways which are more logical, accepting, and gentle.
You are a colorful being of light and love.
And your thoughts deserve to reflect this.
What color are your thoughts?
