I honestly believe that the number 1 most important skill everyone should learn is to MASTER THE MIND!

Because if you don't master your mind, you will just be ignoring your thoughts, and not dealing with your unwanted thoughts effectively is the same as ignoring them. That's the path to stress, burnout, and depression.

Ultimately, mastering the inner game and taming those thoughts isn't really about quieting the mind at all.  It's not about what you think, it’s about how you respond to the thoughts you have.

The solution to an overactive mind is not to try to stop those thoughts, the solution is to learn how to respond to those thoughts the right way. Basically, when unwanted thoughts come, you have 3 options and that is what I talk about in this episode.

I also take you through a 10-minute guided meditation where you will be trained to not just witness your thoughts, but actively detach from them.  The aim of this meditation is to bring you inwards and to increase your focus and attention.

There is an important misunderstanding about meditation and one of the main misconceptions is that you are supposed to stop all thinking and thought.  

Thoughts are constantly cycling through at all times, and we don’t zoom into each and every one,  our brain will filter many thoughts throughout the day, they will just come and go, what this means is that we are choosing on some level, when and how we interact with our many passing thoughts.  

If we are feeling overwhelmed or needing more peace, meditation can create the space for us to simply witness our thoughts, not stop but slow our thinking and come more fully into the present moment.  Understanding how to become a witness to our thoughts can be a bit challenging for us, and today's meditation will help you better understand this concept.
