Stop trying to control your thoughts

8/27/2014

The creator of meditationSHIFT published a new article on Medium. Here is an excerpt:

"The bottom line is, thoughts come and go. Trying to control what thoughts occur when, or trying to stop certain thoughts from happening altogether, is a poor use of your time and energy.

There is good news, however. If you accept that you can’t control your thoughts, you can focus your efforts on what you can do: cultivate awareness and observation, and learn to interrupt the process of conditioned responses and reactions."


Go to Medium to read the rest (you don't need to create an account to read it, but if you have an account and enjoy the article, please "Recommend" it).

You can find all of Jon's articles on Medium here.

​What are you trying to "cope" with?
  • Stress? 
  • Anxiety? 
  • Sleep problems?

​​Coping doesn't work - addressing the root cause does. We'll show you how.
