1 小时 10 分钟What I am allowing my brain to think about becomes the nature of my reality.
From a very basic psychological perspective, thoughts impact feelings, and feelings impact behavior.
Well, we're not our thoughts.
They're just things that we're experiencing, but we're not trained to work with them.
They can seem overwhelming, or they're just running the show without us even being aware of it.
And without them being regulated or without us focusing our attention, we're just going to be reactive as opposed to responsible for our thoughts.
So, have you ever felt like your mind is a bit of a runaway train of incessant thoughts and worries and self doubt that never stop?
You are not alone.
For so many of us, the relentless chatter of overthinking it just robs us of precious energy and joy and the mental clarity to create our best lives or just to plain relax and enjoy the moment.
But what if I told you there are a simple set of powerful ways to take back control?
To befriend that overactive voice and transform it from a daily terror into an ally for mental peace?
