We don’t generally include our thoughts, emotions, and actions when we think of housekeeping. We will clean the bathroom before we clean or tidy up our thoughts and deeds. We tend to neglect our emotional hygiene. We will think that thought, obsess over that partner, ruminate over feeling slighted, and generally feel life is unfair and biased against us.

We may have a huge meltdown over the smallest of infractions and feel we are above reproach. We may be consistently and constantly spewing negativity, insecurity, and doubt, creating a small black cloud around our heads like Linus in Peanuts. We don’t see the black cloud because we are immersed in it. What can we do regarding our “stinking thinking”?
