1:08:12: New mindfulness integration challenge of the week presented by Jackson:
Take a certain time of the day (for example 10 minutes at 12pm every day). Take this time to pay close attention to thoughts arising, making it the primary object of mindfulness. Write down the two most prevalent thoughts that come up again and again throughout the day, recording them in dot points (using an app such as Evernote or whatever is most convenient). Look back on the thoughts at the end of the week (whether good or bad) and reflect with ruthless objectivity on what is the origin of where that thought originated from in effort to bring more awareness to unconscious behavioural patterns. Do the thoughts condition a sense of self? Are most thoughts judgemental? Or are they more skilful such as thoughts grounded in gratitude and focusing on good qualities in others? Having an understanding of what unconscious hardware is operating in the enigma of the mind allows us to change our conditioning and cultivate skilful states of mind that result in less suffering for ourselves and others.
