I practiced being present for 24 hours and I'm shocked

My mind went crazy for the past days. Obsessing about negative scenarios, couldn't stop thinking about the past, creating an extremely negative narrative about myself and life.

It really drove me insane. I couldn't eat, sleep was shit. I had to take alprazolam at some point because I literally thought I'm going crazy with the obsession and negativity.

And today morning I decided to STOP. Basically, I told my mind to STOP with the horrible scenarios and catastrophic thinking.

I made a choice not to think about negative thinks and I am shocked.

This was just a test. I heard that "you can't control your mind and thoughts". And this is BS. You absolutely can.

My mind was present the entire day. I had the best nap of my life. I was calm. My mind was completely quiet. I didn't allow a single negative thought.

I was present in activities, present at my work. I slept so good. I hade zero anxiety and zero feelings of sadness.

Coincidence or not, I also had a job interview and I felt so calm and confident they made me a freaking offer already!!

It was just calm.

The way you think about yourself, the world and everything else it is a choice. Absolutely.

I'm going to continue with this practice to prove myself that I can in fact control my mind and I have power over it. Not the other way around.
