So <b>scattered thoughts interfere<\/b> with that important process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you experience interference in your thoughts too, we must learn to deal with the effects of such distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019d like to share a visualization that is helping me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Visualization<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I visualize a river. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m on the water, watching the flow of the river before me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I notice that where the banks are low, and undefined the river is wide and slow moving, flowing without much purpose. Think of the the Mississippi river that spreads up to 11 miles wide in some places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Where the banks are defined and solid, the river is more narrow and concentrated. It runs with power and force. Think of the Colorado river whose force created the deep Grand Canyon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I see my thoughts as that river of water. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>When my thoughts like the river are spreading far, <\/i>I am unfocused and distracted. It\u2019s hard to concentrate on my purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So I <i>symbolically visualize building up the shores within my mind to give my river of thoughts a definite direction and place to flow.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>This visual helps my thoughts to flow undistracted, focused where I intended. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Shore Up the Banks<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What does shore up the banks mean to you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are some ideas to get you thinking how to keep your thoughts clear and focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">-When the banks of my imaginary river are weak and soft, it usually means I\u2019ve allowed other concerns and thoughts to interfere. Perhaps I haven\u2019t taken care of something that needs attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In that case, I take care of it or put it aside, giving myself permission to return to it later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">-Maybe I\u2019ve allowed so many things to fill my life that it\u2019s difficult to focus on the things that matter most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This means take time to prioritize and eliminate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">-Maybe distractions have become such a part of my daily life that I expect them and feel uncomfortable when they don\u2019t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That may be a new thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I wish I had all the answers for you, but we are all unique. In fact, I\u2019m sure you have solutions to share with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It would be interesting to consider <i>what ways you can find to shore up your mental river banks and focus your thoughts. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>I\u2019d love to learn from you!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With love,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.melaniebnewman.com\/staging\/9944\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/signature.png\" alt=\"Melanie Newman\" width=\"223\" height=\"73\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been told that a characteristic of mine is a gift, but it causes me distress.
