Clarity Challenge Day 4

Challenge Today: Write 10 "Anchor Thoughts"

Anchor thoughts are things you can rely on to keep you in the present. Try to track how many times you use them, what happens, do they help?

• If we’re in the past, we’re depressed

• If we’re in the future, we’re anxious

• Try to count the times you go into the past or present

• Identify anchor thoughts that keep you in the present

We regret the past, fear the future, write our future, write other peoples’ futures.  We have conversations with people that aren’t there.  Buddhists believe that happiness is being in the moment. Basically, pleasure is owning a convertible, happiness is not thinking about anything else while you are riding in it.
