You Are Not Your Thoughts: Anthony Johnson on The Mindful Living

Millions of thoughts run through our heads every day, and most of us never question whether they're true. We just assume they are, because they're ours.Sana talks with coach and podcast host Anthony Johnson about telling the difference between what's happening now and an old wound resurfacing, and which one is actually running the show.About the Guest:Anthony Johnson is a coach, speaker, and host of the podcast Living Your Spirit with Anthony. His work explores how thoughts and emotions shape how we experience ourselves.Key Takeaways:A reaction bigger than the moment calls for is often an old wound resurfacing, not the situation itself.A simple gauge: does this thought feel good or bad in your body; that's a clue to whether it's true.People close to you push the exact buttons you need pushed to grow; that's the process, not proof something's wrong.Meditation and breathwork don't need to be perfect; one longer exhale than inhale can calm you in the moment.Acknowledging a hard emotion out loud, without rushing to fix it, is often what helps it pass.Connect With the Guest:Podcast: Living Your Spirit with AnthonyApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/living-your-spirit-with-anthony/id1669142471YouTube: Superhumans LeagueEpisode Chapters:[00:00] Cold Open: is your mind running you, or are you running it[01:53] Welcome Back: introducing coach and podcast host Anthony Johnson[03:03] The Anger That Started It All: Anthony's origin story[08:10] Conscious vs. Subconscious: what's really driving your reaction[13:11] Is This Thought Even True: the "does it feel good" test[21:32] Meditation and Breathwork: the easiest place to start[25:21] Connect With Anthony: Living Your Spirit and Superhumans League🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?
