RE: Are your thoughts really creating your reality?
Well written and great sources!
It's like the evidence base for....
'Think or act with a troubled mind and misery will follow as your shadow, unshakeable.
Think or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow, as surely as the cart follows the ox.'
A couple of versus from the Dhamapada (sxuse spelling)
Although I think there are certain situations where mindfulness alone cannot produce positive effects (at least not if yer an ordinary person without many years of hardcore discipline)....
EG As a teacher no amount if positivity could protect me from the extreme systemic stress - now I've quit it's all fine!
I still think most of us need help to do mindfulness properly... why do monks cut themselves off after all?!?
Nice article. I'll have to check out those sources.

Nothing is ever simple until we make it simple but a lot of us expect results over night. There is no miracle answer, mindfulness meditation is not it either but it does help. Whatever way we find to work on ourselves and keep our thoughts and actions in check, is fine. Mindfulness can be practiced for decades and still not show results. For some, additional help is needed, for some it takes time and there are those who find it natural. For me personally, in more than 10 years of doing it... I still feel there is more. I am proud, but never satisfied, there is always room for improvement :)
Thank you for your lovely comment, I am glad you enjoyed the read. 💚
