Core beliefs are the voices inside of my head.
Each one is a thought that I continued to think
Until it gained enough momentum to become
Part of me. Some of them I can’t get away from.
From the cup of a negative brew I do drink
Knowing well that I’ve created a life of dread.

Thoughts are things that have consciousness given to them
By my focused attention. Habitually
I created them. They are my experience.
They exist to keep providing me evidence
To support my sick visions of society.
From my listening to them all my problems stem.

Just because something is true it doesn’t mean I
Should give it my attention. How does it feel when
I am thinking about it? This criterion
Is the one most important. Indeed I’m the one
Who’s in need of some relief every now and then.
If I don’t feel right I need not ask myself why.

My internal guidance system is how I feel
In each moment. It knows where I am no matter
Where I am. It also knows where I want to be.
I can get rid of negative thoughts easily
Just by noticing when they all start to chatter.
Then I can take on new thoughts that have more appeal.
