A Question to ask Yourself

Posted by Tom-N-Texas on November 05, 2009 at 09:04:09:

Many people in here acknowledge that the mind (thoughts) is at least partially responsible for their insomnia.

My question is -- and granted, this would take some practice -- but starting now, and leading into the future, if you never asked yourself any question again, or, if you refused to answer any question that your mind randomly generated, would your perspective change? Let me put it another way, if you --like a child or baby -- refused to let your mind ponder any option regarding sleep, drugs, sleep time, diet, herbs, books, opinions, etc......how do you think your mind (meaning your thoughts) might change over a period of days, weeks or months? Is it possible that things would seem simpler and less confusing?....might your fears diminish if no options were ever mulled over? Is it possible that if you simply refused to ponder the myriad of options that the dark side of your mind keeps asking that it could help propel you out of a position of helplessness and confusion, and into a position of strength and authority? Might the questions (and related uncertainties and fears) subside?

If the uncertainties and fears subsided, might that not effect your sleep for the better?

And please know that I am not telling you what or how to think. There is no right or wrong answer for everyone here. Just something to think about.
