“Overcoming Overthinking” Event at State Theatre by Brahma Kumaris, Sydney

Published

Some 3,200 people participated in two special events with BK Sister Shivani organised at the iconic State Theatre in Sydney, Australia.  The beautiful venue with its heritage Art Deco design provided a stunning backdrop for both the shows.  Stephanie Dowrick well co-ordinated the stage for both the events.

Sister Shivani’s topic for both the Sydney shows was a very relevant one for our times: “Overcoming Overthinking”. Sister Shivani shared that:

  • “Over information” is the cause of “overthinking”. Information ~ is the raw material. And Thoughts ~ are what get created.
  • Information is to the mind, what food is to the body. It is the “emotional nutrition” for my mind.
  • Until I get a new layer of information, I cannot change my thinking.
  • To bring a shift in my thoughts, there will have to be a shift in my “emotional diet.”
  • The first thing I need to do is check the “emotional nutrients” (i.e. information) I am feeding myself.
  • To help with this, Sister Shivani invited everyone to take on the following challenge for the next 30 days: at least for the first hour of my morning after I wake up, replace the “newspaper of the outer world” (i.e. consuming worldly news in the media or just randomly scrolling through social media) … with the “newspaper of the inner world” (i.e. feed my mind some inspiring thoughts or spiritual knowledge)
  • When our thinking is of a lower frequency, the number of thoughts (overthinking) is high. For example, Sit and criticize somebody in your mind = number/quantity of thoughts is high. Sit and bless (or appreciate) someone in your mind = and the number/quantity of thoughts will be low.
  • So especially in the early morning, I need to pay attention to my “emotional diet” to be able to change my thinking.
