Can you eliminate all your negative thoughts for the rest of your life?  Maybe not, but you can certainly manage them effectively.  When you try to resent your negative thoughts, they often persist and become louder.  Therefore the trick isn’t stopping your thoughts in track or exercising fake positivity (trust me, I tried, and it doesn’t work), but rather, not identifying with everything you think.  Let’s say there is a limiting belief you adopted in your childhood which you label as negative. Since this pattern of negative thoughts has been reestablished over many years, it’s natural for your mind to keep bringing the same recycled thoughts back.  Since your mind is literally like a muscle, you want to learn to train it as such.  In today’s episode, I will talk about how identification with our negative thoughts keeps us stuck in limiting thinking patterns. I will also teach you about the power of the pause, how to become an observer of what you are thinking without being sucked into it and share a mindfulness exercise to help with mind identification.  Last but not least, we will also look at the most obvious power we all have - the power of choice.  Here is a glance at this episode:  [02:10] Managing our internal system, looking at stress and anxiety in today’s world and why we shouldn’t accept it as the only way of life.  [04:24] What it means to identify with our thoughts, how to work through them, and an example of mind identification  [06:44] Practicing the power of PAUSE, being conscious instead of compulsive  [09:37] Detaching from what you think or what your thoughts mean by using this simple, yet powerful mindfulness exercise  [12:32] Choosing growth over comfort, summing up what it means to detach from negative thoughts and become in charge of how you think and feel.
