Your Mind is Not Your Friend | F.E.A.R.

Your Mind is Not Your Friend! It's not your enemy either. Think of it as a constant companion. It's something you live with. There are plenty of benefits of having a mind. It problem solves, makes plans, and uses logic and judgment to help you navigate your world. But the mind also judges us harshly too!

.

Often, we make no distinction between ourselves and what we’re thinking. From that viewpoint, our minds aren’t exactly to be trusted, or taken literally at every step of the way. Learn about a helpful acronym (F.E.A.R.) and the ways our minds get caught up in fusion, evaluation, avoidance, and reason-giving. Tune in to learn more about how to relate to your mind in a healthier way.
