Thoughts are powerful - but they're not always the truth. In this episode, Lora and Jeff wade into the murky waters of our thinking minds, exploring how thoughts shape our emotions, actions, and sense of self. We unpack the difference between active and passive thoughts, where our thoughts come from, and why missing information can cause us to fill in gaps with fear or negativity. Together, we explore tools for holding thoughts more lightly, building awareness, and finding more clarity and compassion in the noise.We explore:The difference between active and passive thoughtsHow environment and experience shape the way we thinkWhy missing data points often create false assumptionsThe impact of negativity bias on our daily livesPractical strategies for managing thought patternsHow meditation, mindfulness, and even humming can help soothe the mindOur adventurer rows into a heavy fog, the path ahead completely hidden.
