What is the Reformed Sloppy Thinkers Group?

[Ellie Walsh]

The Sloppy Thinkers Group came about after I posted an article at LivingTheLawOfAttraction.com
on Feb5th, 2008.

I invite you to read the article The Dis-Ease of Sloppy Thinking.... and join in on the conversation!

Hi,
OK, so I guess I've not only been a "sloppy thinker" but also a "sloppy participant."  No, I have not carried a timer or specifically checked in with myself every hour.  But, I do check in with my thoughts several times throughout the day.  Since being on this spiritual journey, my thoughts have been raised nearly all the time out of that depressed, desperate range.  And in these last couple years, I do know how to look for something positive -- I find that nature is a great object for me to put my attention to for "upliftment."  I can get so filled up with good feelings by looking at sunsets (occasionally I'm up early enough to see a sunrise!), the deer and other little creatures in the neighborhood, the songs of the birds.  These "things" nearly always help me to connect and raise my emotional state.  Yet, there are those few "sticky" areas that are "slippery slopes" for me and that I put a lot of energy into.  So, I am becoming more and more aware that I just need to "let go" of the analyzing of those areas and look more toward nature and quieting the mind.  Yes, I have been reading Eckart Tolle's "A New Earth" which puts a lot of emphasis on quieting the mind -- but that's another whole story.  Keep up the good work fellow sloppy-thinker reformers!.................Carol

carol, i do not know who you are, but i wish to tell you that you made me laugh with your opening comment about being a "sloppy participant".
thankyou!
somethings just get away from us with all we are trying to do yes?

i hurried and ordered a vibrating timer, (ellie's links are great aren't they?)

but it is still sitting on my kitchen counter in the original plastic.
(i donlt know how to make the print small here or that would have been typed in very tiny letters)

it sounds like you are doing wonderful things for yourself!

enjoy your nature carol.  i sadly do not have many opportunities to view deer as i live in the bronx. a fairly suburban part, but the bronx nonetheless.

the closest i have to nature? is woodlawn cemetary. (that too would be written in small letters)

there is a small lake there with geese, and carp, and a dalmation looking duck named ollie who catches bread in his mouth like a circus duck.....but doesn;lt want you to pet him.

trees and trees and more trees. all varieties. is beautiful!
and that is where i go...........

but i wouldn't stay there to see the sunset!

except foir the cemetary, i do not have an opportunity for privacy when in nature, and my ego? is afraid of looking like an idiot. (just ask ellie)

i will have to figure out a way, we will all figure out our own ways yes?

thanks again for the unexpected laugh!
