Election + Halloween got you bracing for scary possibilities? Here’s how to become the mayor of your own mind and stop letting ghosts, goblins, or politicians run your inner city.
In this episode, I share 2 principles most people ignore to their peril: what you resist persists, and “I’m not who you think I am — you’re who you think I am.” You’ll learn how mindfulness and emotional regulation help you turn triggers into self-awareness, welcome those “trick-or-treater” parts of you without letting them run amok, and choose how to calm your mind.
In this episode:
Notice when your attention is focused on what you don't want.
Get curious about what your judgments bring up in you.
Think of anger, fear, and frustration as citizens of your inner city.
Welcome those parts of yourself while choosing how they get to act.
Explore what an annoying person might reveal about a part of you that wants attention.
