#102 Do You Take Time to Notice Your Thoughts? You Should....
About this episode
Have you ever taken the time to notice what you're thinking? Unless it's a practice, you likely don't.
We think our thoughts are who we are. We hear them, think they're true and live accordingly.
But when we take time to notice what we're thinking, we can start to see a pattern. Maybe you'll hear a lot of shoulds. You should do that. You should do this. Or maybe you'll hear how critical you are of yourself. Why did you say that? Why did you think that? You'll never figure that out, so why even try. Or maybe you'll find out you're having thoughts on repeat about a potential illness.
Unless you start to pay attention to your thoughts, you'll never even know you're doing this. And, our thoughts impact how we feel. But once you start to notice, you can realize that your thoughts aren't you.
They are simply your ego seeking to keep you safe. That's the ego's job - to keep us safe. But it's like a scared little child with no power and a lot of negative accusations.
So take a listen. In this short episode, I'll teach you how to create a practice of paying attention to your thoughts.
