Thoughts that produce negative emotions can cause heartache.  When we build up a model of an imaginary reality with our thoughts, we can project anything onto anyone.  That means we can build a model that says someone does not like us.  Conversely, we can build a model that says that same person cares deeply about us.

The interesting thing about the mind and the involvement of the ego is that we can create any kind of model that becomes our belief system.  When we build a belief system, we alter our “reality” to support that belief system.

Isn’t it interesting how two people can witness the same event and have completely different recollections of it?  Have you ever watched a sporting event to see a controversial call being analyzed differently by the opposing fans?

Our belief system, based on a model of thoughts begins to dictate our reality, which contributes to more thoughts in our model, and thus strengthening the original beliefs.   You can believe the planet is flat and you will witness a reality to support it.  Similarly, you can believe that someone does not like you, and that is all that you will experience and witness.

Look at the “model of thoughts” that you have created in your mind.  Models that create positive emotions are beneficial to your state of happiness and joy.  It’s the models that create negative emotions, causing fear, bitterness and anger that you need to reframe.  There is no need to keep around “thought models” that cause unhappiness.

Since these models are all imaginary, you can easily reframe them.  Begin with a belief rather than letting the thoughts create a model that later becomes your belief.  For example, if you look at a person that you think does not like you, that might be okay.  Does it really matter if everyone walking the planet likes you?  Maybe you remind them of an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend that turns them off.  It has nothing to do with you and is out of your control as to what others think of you.

However, suppose you begin to wonder how a good friend or family member likes you.   Maybe you wonder about your mate and whether or not they love you anymore.  The key is to sit objectively, without the ego involved and ask yourself what you really believe.  That is, what your heart is telling you, not the model of thoughts that you have compiled over the years.  Do you really think that your partner cares about you?

When you answer those questions, you can then destroy any “thought models” that contradict your fundamental beliefs.  The thought models should not create a belief system.  The belief system needs to come first and the thought models should be irrelevant to your reality and to what you believe.

Today is a great day to look for models of thoughts that you have carefully constructed over this lifetime and decide if they are creating your beliefs.   Then open up to your heart to figure out what you really believe and destroy contradictory models of thought!

What we experience, becomes a model for how we think things are in the world.  Those models eventually become our beliefs which impact or future experiences and reality of the world.  Rather, look to your heart for what you truly believe that is congruent with your inner-self and see your view of the world change with your heart-filled glasses!
