My mind is a sewer

Hi,
Appreciate the mods who may well want to transfer this to an appropriate thread - Thanks in advance.
OK. So I have been reviewing my own thoughts in everyday life for a while now & I am appalled at how judgemental, cynical and plain intolerant I am on playback. (you know - the monologue you have going in your head)
It is astonishing to me that when I do review my thoughts (with a view that they may be on display to all & sundry in the near future - helps me focus) I am a disappointment to myself.
This gives me great grief. I want to be better than that & I always thought I would be.
I will persevere.
This is my personal version of cleaning my machine. I think it needs to be done.
Anyone have any advice to offer?
:cry:
 
This is a necessary step, and generally shows that you are starting to develop conscience and see yourself more objectively. Are you practicing EE and reading the diet information?

Perhaps you could write about this in more detail.
 
I did get EE but the instructions bewilder me. I have been a concious breather for the whole of my life. EE doesn't seem to offer anything new. I hope you can offer insight.

Take it easy, do the whole EE a few times and see what it does to your body and your mind.

Also you can maybe start a personal journal where you consign these thoughts, you can check out this thread if you want.

As I understand it, conscious breathing is something we should be striving to attain all day, every day. EE is different in that it is a specific 1 hour breathing program (though parts of it can be used interchangeably like a tool box) designed to release emotional trauma and raise the frequency of the body by detoxing, combined with a powerfully effective prayer that seems to evolve in meaning as you grow and learn.
 
I also review my own thoughts. There are a lot of horrible thoughts that came into my head and it is good that you can observe it ‘from the side’. One of this thought, for example, is that if someone of the cloth to me people would die, and how I would live then, and what benefits I would derive from it. It is horrible thought; I definitely don’t want such things to happen, and don’t want to think about it. I don’t know where it came from. One of the things that I do is observe it and try understand where it coming from. I can’t understand which of these thoughts is truly mine, or they are all mine? But who am I then. And who is this observer, who observes all this thought and actions done by me. But this observer, I can say is partly active.
Another thing is that I have different, so to say, ‘mind moods’ in the different times during the day. I mean I think and want to do a lot of stuff in the evening and planning to do it next day, and when I get up on next day I don’t think that I should do almost all of that, until it is becoming closer to the evening, and I, usually, start again wanting to do it. For example, I want to make some posts on the forum in the evening, than in the morning I don’t want to do so, maybe because they seems to me some sort of ‘stupid’ (I don’t know how correctly express it). The same thing with that what I’ve done in the evening, I see it in other lights in the next morning. It sorts like, I accumulating some ‘energy’ during the day, and I become ‘reprogrammed’ through the night. Does anybody can help to understand why it is so?
I forget to say, that when I change my sleep pattern, I mean I start going to sleep at 10 p.m. and wake up at 6-7 in the morning, it seems that such condition of different ‘mind moods’ start partly disappearing. But also at that time I read a lot on the forum, sott and other info. But it only seems to me so.
Now I’m trying to recover this sleep pattern and I make my room dark enough.
Also, another thing is self-importance and ego stuff, which I can’t ‘kick out’ from my head. It interferes my thinking.
I start changing my diet, I think more than 6 month ago. Step by step, at first I eliminate gluten dairy, than fruits (sugars), than carbs. Now I’m trying not to eat more than 20gr of carbs per day, eat a lot of fat.
EE I didn’t finish doing even 1 time fully. I reached the meditation moment, I start felling cold and my mind, I can say, was becoming clear. There weren’t a lot of thoughts in my mind; it was sort like in the ‘calm mode’ of the mind. I want to do it on the instant base, I hope I‘ll do it, but I can’t say I will do it in some period of time. Because, when I usually say that I will do something during some period of time, it is become hard for me to finish it in time that I said I would finish, because of inner and outer ‘problems’(I don’t know how to name it). I can always find ‘because of..’, however I know that I can find time for it and do it.

Trendsetter37, it would be much more considerate and less noisy if, instead of replying to a post with merely "this", you either write why you agree with what you are quoting, or not reply at all. Replying with a one-liner, actually one-worder, is not for this forum. Try to be more thoughtful in the future.

Sorry about that I will keep this in mind for next time.
