"Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening ...”
Sharon Salzberg, Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation
Reality, Interpretation, perception, attitude, catastrophic thinking, embellishment, negative thinking, non-truth.
A path I think many go down. Are you telling yourself the truth?
I like to try and observe my thoughts - my internal dialogue - and hopefully catch myself when I'm making assumptions, being critical, using past events, thoughts and fantasy to fuel the path to living in a false reality.
They say we have 40-90 thousand thoughts a day; how many are the same? How many repeat a story that may not be true? Are these thoughts serving you or the greater good?
Today I will aim to be honest and remove judgement, expectation and assumptions. I can more easily achieve this if I stay in the present moment.
