Empty Your Bucket

Imagine that you are carrying around a bucket



Each time you see a stone, you pick it up and put it in the bucket


At first, the bucket remains fairly light, but the more rocks you pick up and throw in, the heavier it becomes and the harder it is to carry

Your mind can only hold so many bothersome thoughts without dragging you down

If you have been overwhelmed by negative thoughts and, you have a choice

You can empty your "bucket" of those thoughts one at a time

Deal with each one or let it go, and you will lighten your outlook and your attitude
