The Inner Trio: How Thinking, Feeling, and Needing Govern Your Life
We often encounter
articles, videos, and podcasts about mindfulness. These resources emphasise the
power of being present and aware, rather than being overwhelmed by a flood of
thoughts. Each speaker or guru presents their ideas in a distinct style, yet
they all ultimately stress the importance of mindfulness and its connection to
meditation.
In my own quest to
understand how the mind works, I came across an article that simplified its
functions into three core areas: thinking, feeling, and needing.
Thinking: Our thoughts shape who we are.
Self-sabotaging thoughts can hold us back, while growth-focused thoughts can
propel us forward.
Feeling: When we feel guilty or discouraged, we
may withdraw from life. In contrast, positive emotions can motivate us to start
anew.
Needing: When our wants overshadow our actual
needs, greed can take over. But when we learn to find contentment, we can live
free from stress and pressure.
By examining the
relationship between our thinking, feeling, and needing, we can better
understand how our minds function. When we become mindful of our thoughts,
emotions, and needs, we gain greater control over our lives. If we fail to
filter and reflect on these three areas, our minds can become cluttered. To
clear that clutter, we must consciously observe how we perceive the world and
clearly define what we truly need—ultimately paving the way to a more balanced
and fulfilling life.
