Changing Beliefs

Hard Rusty Ways

Old senses of direction have started to rust
As the new dawn approaches, and I cannot see
What is written. All meaning has faded away.
No longer do I feel that I need to obey
Any system of guidance that’s outside of me.
One could say that I may have an issue with trust.

I have good belief systems. I think I’m okay
For the most part, but there are a few that I need
To replace because they’re not helping me to be
My best person. My life should be an odyssey
Of fulfillment. It’s my intention to succeed
At creating a more awesome life day by day.

What’s the fastest way to ingrain a new belief
System into my being? It’s by practicing
The thoughts of that system and by noticing how
I feel when I am thinking them. I can allow
All the good that my thinking and feeling can bring
To the moment. From doubt I can find much relief.

I practice when I’m feeling my best – not when I
Am at my worst. I can’t get a hold of something
That feels bad and then try to force it to feel good.
That’s absurd. The illogic is not understood,
But when my practice leads to something exciting
I will milk it and just keep myself flying high.

Changing Beliefs

Reprogramming Behavior

I have good belief systems. I think I think well,
But sometimes I malfunction and problems arise.
So there must be some things that I need to replace.
What’s the best way to do that? The problem I face
Is that habits are ingrained. Have I to devise
Some procedural method where I must excel?

That’s not out of the question, but the fastest way
Is by practicing thoughts and paying attention
To how I feel when I think them, and doing it
When I’m feeling my best – not when I’m in the pit
Of unspeakable darkness. I must be the one,
Through my conscious intending, to service my day.

There are some really tough ones that I hang on to.
They do nothing but cause me much grief and despair.
But I know this already. I cannot forget
Which also is a habit I own with regret.
It’s not hard to stay focused and fully aware
Of the positive aspects in all that I do.

Practicing to perfection the feeling technique,
There is less troubleshooting that needs to be done.
That makes things a lot easier as long as I
Can maintain my alignment. I cannot deny
The one thing that I’m after. That isn’t much fun.
I can feel my way to everything that I seek.
