Intrusive thoughts can be unsettling and scary but understand that you are in control, not your thoughts. Instead of letting them frighten or upset you, confront them and meet them head on. Everyone has thoughts that randomly pop into their heads during different situations throughout the day, some are goofy, some are sexual, some are violent... YOU decide where you take it, they don't control you. We (Wiccans) have a saying... "You are the most powerful force in your life." Some of us ride along in life's current letting it take us wherever it wants and we give up control. Some of us take the rudder and steer, taking control of our lives. In that moment that you finally take control of that rudder, you're no longer afraid of where you're headed.
