Guilt of course has it's place, but hanging on to guilt is one of satan's favorite tools to keep us from progressing. Don't judge your thoughts. I think Ill go write that on my mirror.

When you're trying to meditate (translation: relax...I'm not a real Buddist) you think your thoughts need to be pure and deep and free of anything other than zen (translation: chill). But homework and unreturned emails and dirty laundry barges into my thoughts when I do this. Trying not to judge my thoughts was really helpful. Now, in the middle of the Temple when you're supposed to be thinking of Holy things, it's probably not the best to be balking at an episode of Sex and the City. But personally, I found it helpful to make a point not to judge my own thoughts...because it actually makes them go away much easier.Regirlfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175568227322699589noreply@blogger.com
