Marcus Aurelius 121 – 180 AD – known as the last of the ‘Five Good Emperors of Rome’, and Stoic philosopher said:
“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking”.
1st is
The situation,
Then comes OUR
Thoughts & perceptions.
What we say to ourselves?
How we think affects how we feel.
How we feel affects how we behave.
How we behave affects how we live our lives
Change the thought = Change the Consequence.
Many of life’s personal difficulties and human distress can often be associated to irrational or faulty thinking about ourselves, about other people, and/or about situations in the world around us. Understanding how our thinking influences our lives is crucial to overcoming the distress.
In the coming weeks up to half term I would like to share with you a few simple ideas about how we can become more aware of our thoughts and understand how they influence our emotions and affect our behaviours.
