Very often, we have repetitive thoughts running through our mind over and over again where we can’t make decisions, and we’re stuck in fear. The voice in our head says we can’t or shouldn’t do something, and we’re reliving the past. It goes on and on, never-ending. One of the most common questions I get is, “How do I get this to stop?”

For a long time, my rescue dog, Ferguson, did crate spins where he constantly went in circles—because he was abused by his previous owner and was left in a crate constantly. A dog spinning like that is a physical representation of what happens in most people’s minds of what happens when we can’t come to a resolution about something. It becomes somewhat of a threat to us. Our mind doesn’t know what to do with it, because we’re not resolving it—so it spins.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• • Why we don’t see this repetitive, “stuck” behavior in nature unless humans get involved

• • How my dog couldn’t get away from the people who were abusing it, but it still had an instinctive desire to move, because that’s in its DNA—that internal impulse is strong, regardless of the fact that it can’t go anywhere or logically think about it

• • When humans keep suffering the same problem over and over again, it’s very similar to a dog spinning in its crate

• • A lot of people live in the past

• • The way to resolve the mental “spinning” is to condition your mind to the truth around the situation; give it a resolve—separate yourself from the thought and bring truth to it

• • The illusion is that “because there’s movement, something’s happening,” but if there’s no clear outcome on your part, then you’re not really moving

When you’re experiencing the same problem over and over again—or having the same thought patterns repetitively—ask yourself, “Why am I thinking what I’m thinking? Why am I constantly repeating this thought process?”

To stop the spinning, ask, “What is my outcome? Where am I going? What’s the direction I’m moving in?” You must have a destination. The spinning will stop once you begin to move in a straight line. You have to retrain your mind to move in the direction you want it to go, every time.
