I just had a birthday recently and it involved renewing my driver’s license. For those of you who live in California – the whole DMV experience can eat up a lot of your day. In my case it took two. But the dread started long before I ended up standing in line – there was the worry over the eye test as my eyes have changed in the last 8 years and then there was the knowledge test. I got the DMV book and sure enough I studied. For over two weeks, I lost some sleep over the whole process. I knew it was my thoughts wreaking havoc with my peace of mind but I couldn’t seem to unhook. I did do something different though – I just let it alone – I surrendered to the notion that it was all thought- and that was somewhat new. I didn’t try to get rid of it – I didn’t blame myself for all that I know and understand, and I was still worried – I just surrendered to the power of thought. I also realized that blaming thought was a way of not taking responsibility for being the thinker. Thought content has not power I don’t give it. Think about it.
