       Every reoccurring thought that remerges in our minds has a root. That’s the simple truth. Nevertheless, we often deal with our thoughts by pushing them aside and not confronting them head on. That’s why the thought is reoccurring in the first place. It’s like your dog when you don’t feed him. He’ll ask for lunch, and you may just ignore him for the time being. Then a little while later he’ll ask again, and he’ll keep on asking until we feed him. Well, that’s what happens when we don’t properly deal with a thought in our heads that we don’t want there. We all have things that crop up inside our minds that we would prefer to get rid of. The good news is that this is actually possible. Now, if I have a reoccurring thought about someone who has said something against me, for instance, how should I deal with this? Well, every time the though comes to my mind I could just push it out of the way by thinking about something else. It may work for a few minutes, but odds are the thought is going to come back. That’s because I didn’t feed the dog, I didn’t deal with the thought. And like the dog, the thought comes back wanting attention.
