You may have heard this little fabel, however, it never loses its magic:
There was an old Indian Chief talking with his young grandson. He explained to his grandson that within the mind there lives two wolves 🐺 and these two wolves are always in constant battle with each other.
One wolf only ever focuses on the negative, revelling in all that has, can and will go wrong 😩
While the other wolf focuses on the positive, always looking for the joy in even the smallest of things 😁 .
The little grandson asked, ‘which wolf wins the battle?’
To which the grandfather replied, ‘the one you feed the most!’
It’s a great little story to recall when pulled into those negative rumination loops. A reminder to take a breath and intentionally break that unhelpful, energy sapping cycle.
