Thoughts Can Betray You
“Betrayed by my thoughts again” you scream in your head! “My teacher used to tell me What You Think may betray you by your actions”. During that all important meeting with your boss and you flunked out of the promotion race.
There is something in the way we live with all our lives that often betray us. You curse in your mind so loudly you fear everyone in the office will hear you. Have they? “They seem to,” you think. Mary gave you that “I’m so sorry” look. George sniggered. “Curse you G….” he glares.
Mind Reading
Sometimes you meet someone who seems to be able to read your mind. That’s a scenario that repeats itself billions of time every day. Since we are creatures of habit, our thoughts cannot help but dictate our action. It is not just the voice that betrays our character. It’s the feelings that accompany that voice. What we think, our very thoughts will cause our bodies to act or react in a readable fashion.
People in a position to meet and analyze many people like your boss can actually “read” your thoughts through your body language. Lovers often talk of compatible vibrations or vibes. You can train yourself to behave in a certain way, but some of your involuntary actions like eye movements in NLP and reactions to another person and vibes will give away the real you.
Couple Betrayed By Their Thoughts
I was in a restaurant and happened to observe a couple ordering food at the take out cashier. Not that I was a busybody but their conversation seemed like a drama rehearsal. The cashier was patient. She’s probably quite ready for their apparent uncertainty. She could obviously read their body language…or maybe their confused vibes too?
The husband ordered two items that he wanted and announced commandingly to his wife that she order what she wants. (There’s no time to dawdle after all).
She ordered her two items, trying to emulate her husband’s style in a rather shaky way. The next moment their words betrayed the nature of their relationship.
After she announced her decision, her husband said, “You want that?” Now even more uncertain of herself, she had quite a difficult time in deciding what she wanted. With much thinking, at last she decided to her two items.
She looked at him, perhaps making sure that’s alright with him or for some suggestion. Could she be thinking, “I did OK, right Hon?” It seemed to me to be “I need your approval” to me.
It is just my observation but it’s apparent that:
He wielded control over his wife for some reason. Was he angry about some misdemeanour she committed? He was authoritative, but only over her and not the cashier. He appeared sure of himself.
In the case of the woman, she was either appeasing her husband over some issue/s in the relationship or was a habitual compliance. Yes, she was obviously very subservient.
Overall, it appeared to me that the wife had simply placed herself in a subservient position to her husband’s dominance over her. Nature works in strange ways sometimes. It might keep the peace for the time being. Or she might decide she had quite enough and stand up to him and wind up at loggerheads. Will that relationship survive? It can, only if they both then change for a new and better relationship.
Examples of our day to day relationships play out for the world to see. Unfortunately, we offer scant attention of the health and condition of our relationship. However anyone can become successful and have a happy life. Just become a little more observant. Learn to read the thoughts or vibes, the body language and the words used from ourselves and that of our partners.
