You are not your mind

You are not the mess that's in your head. You are not the background noise that disrupts your peace. You are not the thoughts you have, nor are you the actions you take.

Nothing can define YOU. All of this chaos that clouds our worlds & clouds our mind.. is not "who we are" & it can't determine that for us. None of our thoughts make us who we are, positive or negative.
We simply ARE. Not even YOU can define you. Maybe there is no definition & maybe there was never meant to be.

Just some things I'm learning that I wanted to share. I genuinely wanna know more about myself & not just on a surface level, I mean my innermost being & sense of self. I suppose a start is accepting that we are not who we think we are. We just ARE & that's it. The sooner we stop identifying with our thoughts & feelings, the more we realize that letting them define who we are, is killing off our true sense of self

i have to say i disagree with this on some lvl. we aren't everything we think we are because sometimes people have the wrong views and opinions of themselves and others.. .. but our thought do define us because they effect our behavior because how we chose to think and act is a part of who we are as a person.

@YoMomma our thoughts only affect our behavior if we let it. We have a choice in the matter. If you don't feel like you have a choice in the matter then it because your thoughts ARE governing you. But that's what I mean by this post when I say we are not our thoughts. We don't actually have to let our thoughts govern us because you are you, independently of any thoughts you have. You have a choice in how you act or behave plus whether your thoughts or emotions will have any control on those actions
