(video) Stopping all that noise in your head?
First, remember that you are not your thoughts and feelings. Remember that you HAVE thoughts and feelings, like you have a book or a pen. This creates some breathing space in the middle of chaos when your thoughts and feelings seem to be your whole world.

Then, since most of us have a strong habit of thinking as if we are our thoughts and feelings – that our thoughts are all that exist – it’s important to practice this “new” perspective… Changing that habit takes practice, so doing something on a regular basis that reminds us is useful!

There are lots of things you can do to remind yourself… pick one and do it!

What’s your experience?

(video) A juicy bit… How do we stop the thoughts and emotions that are causing us so much pain and turmoil?

The bad news is we can’t.
The good news is we can create a way to not be overwhelmed by them, a way to step out of them and back into ourselves. We can stop thinking and feeling that our thoughts and emotions are our whole world by remembering that actually we are much bigger than they are… we are not our thoughts and feelings, we are having thoughts and feelings.

Simple. Profound. Effective.

Try it for yourself and see & feel the difference.

And feel free to share your experiences so that we can grow and learn together, from each other.

Enjoy,
