When Your Mind Plays Tricks On You: An Exercise In Awareness (Part 2/3)
In the last post, I shared some of the things, that I’ve been through in my life.
Delusions and hallucinations.
And, even though I’ve worked through these beliefs of mine, I am oftentimes reminded of the ever so slight hold they have on me yet today.
For instance, I doubt that anyone is going to run me off the road and kill me. But, I am concerned about crossing many bridges, as I drive from point to point.
And, while I don’t necessarily believe that the military is going to drop down, out of the sky to “get me,” I do think about this delusion in times of increased stress.
All in all (and as an example), I will sometimes side with the Beatles in the most adverse of situations, with their song: “I Feel Fine.”
Just as an example. 🙂

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.
