It's Not the Reason that Chooses, it's You!

For many of us, managing our emotions (anxiety, depression, fear, doubt, shame, anger) is rarely viewed as a choice; we jump right into giving reasons to justify why we need to avoid them without realizing we have other options.

For many of us, the choice to change our lives for the better is never easy. When we fuse with the thoughts happening within our mind and the reasons we give for our mindless behavior, it’s almost as if we’re reading from a script.

Tune in to this weeks episode to find out whether you’re fusing with reason-giving and making excuses, or whether the thing you’re avoiding doing is truly impossible for you to do!

Looking to further your mindfulness practice? Check out the Mental Events mindfulness journal. It’s dedicated to examining the workability of the mind’s proposed solutions to problems, and offers an opportunity to step back from giving over your life to negative thoughts.
