Show Notes: The Psychology of Heart and Mind

 

Look at the settings and situations of your life:

  • Do the ideas in this episode seem true?
  • Does thinking with the heart, with love and compassion, differ from critical analysis?
  • Consider how thinking with heart and mind play roles in your own life?

 

Look at the settings and situations of your life:

  • How much of a role does this inner judge play?
  • How much were you judged?
  • How often do you judge others?
  • How does being judged feel?

 

NOTE: Explore without bringing up old feelings, just as an athlete can look at videos of mistakes to improve. Only go as far as you can. Do this work with a friend or a mental health professional in necessary.

 

Look at the settings and situations of your life

  • Where does love play a role in your life?
  • Have you ever experienced feeling loved? How did that feel?
  • Have you ever done something for someone else purely out of human kindness? How did that feel?
  • Would you enjoy your life more if you increased how much your offered kindness, caring, and compassionate insight? How might you achieve this?
  • NOTE: You needn’t make any changes. Change will naturally occur if thoughts become powerful.

 

   Quotations

 Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better.

  • Elijah Muhammad, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Life is for the living.

Death is for the dead.

Let life be like music.

And death a note unsaid

  • Langston Hughes

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up, and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

  • Rosa Parks
