Overcoming Negative Thoughts, Doubts, and Other Temptations
The Cure for the Holiday Blues (and all your other problems too).
Be forgiving to others,
Don't resent your mothers.
Forgive your old dad,
He wasn't that bad.
Watch out for irritation.
Meditate for inspiration.
Stand back - watch irritation from the distance,
Don't struggle using resentful resistance.
Remember to be thankful
For good things that happen to you.
Don't forget to be grateful
For bad things that haven't happened too.
Life is really simple and not so complicated,
Let go of resentment, and your bp won't be elevated.
Don't' resent other's imperfections
Don't eat too many sweet confections,
Use your sleeve when you have to sneeze.
And don't indulge your fantasies.
Negative thoughts are not real, you see.
They've been bothering humankind since the Garden of Eden scene.
They're just trying to seduce you into some sort of doubt.
Patient observation is what I'm going to tell you about.
Watch them without struggle until they go away.
Live in the moment, not tomorrow or yesterday.
Thoughts of glory, lust, and fame,
Thoughts of revenge and thoughts of blame,
They're about as credible as a bad 3 AM TV movie.
Just stand back from the thoughts and don't react,
It's the guy with the horns behind them, and that's a fact.
He is the author of the fantasy.
Fixation and fascination are his goal, you see.
He's the director of the bad movie.
If you indulge or struggle, it's enough to drive you looney.
So take my advice, it's really quite easy,
Patient observation is what to do,
When negative thoughts are bothering you.
Keep them in the distance and they will be gone soon,
Like a bad infomercial in the next room.
Thank the Heavens above,
For faith, hope and love too.
It's doubt and resentment that separate you.
You can't give yourself faith,
But you can learn to patiently resist the doubt.
You can't give yourself love,
But when you are patient with others and don't yell and shout -
Love appears within from the Good Lord above.
Warming your soul and dissolving what made you blue,
Giving you patience for others and for yourself too.
