De-opinionated

The presenter said that most of us are so full of opinions and that it weighs us down as the load is heavy and sometimes too much to bear.I immediately took a pause, a deep breath and realised that I am holding a truck load of opinions inside myself about people, situations and myself that is irrelevant and unnecessary. Looking closer was even more of an eye opener, most of it was very far removed from the truth!
As I am passionate about the awakening of awareness and using the breath as a tool to bring us to a place of stillness and peace, I started consciously observing my thoughts relating to opinions and letting go of them before they become comfortable in their discomfort and lodge themselves permanently in my mind. I breathe them out, I let them go! Because the moment you start feeding them, they multiply at a rapid speed and if you dare to share it with others that are on the same page as you in the soap opera, you sit with full-blown drama. And drama and the addiction thereof is a reality and real threat to a healthy peaceful existence, and all because of opinions.
There is nothing wrong with opinions per se and sometimes it is required, but best to stay in awareness and use it with discernment.
A friend of mine gifted me with the word de-opinionated, I know it does not exist, but it sits so comfortably and captures that what is needed at this time of our lives and more specifically at the beginning of a new year.
Everybody is contemplating diet and lifestyle changes, how about adding de-opinionated to the mix and specifically all the negative thoughts and opinions that we hold about ourselves??..
