Episode Description from the Publisher

Have you ever had intrusive thought patterns that always seem to poison your mind? Something that almost doesn’t seem like “yours”? If so, you’re not alone. This podcast explores how we habitually “pick up” certain thoughts from the constant stream of mental activity. This concept is similar to choosing familiar foods at a buffet. He explains that mindfulness allows one to recognize unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and habits while encouraging honesty, self-compassion, and the willingness to change course. Through developing new skills, wise reflection, and mindful intentions, we can stop identifying with unfriendly thoughts and cultivate beneficial patterns of thinking and behavior.
