Thought Yoga to Become Who You Truly Are

Thank you Joshua Coleman @unsplash

There was a time when I did not think about what I thought. Today, I continuously observe my thoughts and the way these alter my mood, emotions and ultimately, my reality.

“Thought Yoga” came into my mind when thinking about the need to practice continuous observation.

My day to day is about observation. I observe what happens around me and how this is affecting my thoughts and subsequently, my emotions and behaviour. I check upon my thoughts to discover how I am affecting my reality. I live in a constant revision to, whenever I can, consciously change my thoughts to alter the outcome. It is like changing the stream of a river to let it flow to the sea instead of running empty without having reached its destiny.

I’ve discovered the importance of looking into my thoughts to become aware of my behaviour and actions. Many times, I still (re-)act late, adjusting my actions in the aftermath of their occurrence. It is a difficult task to continuously scan my thoughts, but as I practice, it becomes more and more natural.

Everyone is defined by the outside world, by their parents, education, family, community, politics, media, etc. We have been raised not to give a second thought (or even a first one!) to what we are being told. How much do these influence your day to day? How much have you done that is related to what you’ve been told rather than to who you truly are?

Life is about observation.

Your inside-out living is enhanced through your inner observation and subsequent thought adjustments. It permits you to peacefully co-exist in community by improving your empathy, respect and value toward yourself and the others. It promotes connection and collaboration through your individuality and uniqueness, encouraging the togetherness in respect and dignity to each of the individuals involved.

Life is about willingness.

Continuous observation is not an easy task: It requires remembrance and awareness to observe and experiment the changes in behaviour by consciously evaluating and changing the thought patterns, if necessary. It requires willingness to continue practicing and adjusting yourself to become who you truly are. Without willingness, there’s no awareness and no observation and ultimately, there’s no existence for who you are to become.

PiMOV is a place to safely practice and experience your being with no judgement and no selling, just through your willingness to free yourself to become who you are and to connect, collaborate and grow with others like you.
