Lesson 134: Station Break

Learning to pay attention to negative self-talk and affirm the positive — I call it a station break for the opposing point of view — is a vital way to become more mindful and to master your thoughts before they master you.
— Joan Borysenko

New week equals a new theme of “Changing the Channel”. Based on the quote above, this is all about reprogramming ourselves from negative mindsets that can bog us down and turning it into something positive. If we can manage the negative thoughts with the use of language, then we can be more mindful of the words we choose towards ourselves and others. If we can truly take control of this, I think we can lead more uplifting lives. I know I work on this all the time. I find it’s especially hard sometimes when you’re so caught up in a situation with  pure emotion, it’s hard to navigate yourself out of the negative mindset. I think this is where mindfulness is key. I am in no way a master of this yet, but I’m human and sometimes emotions get the best of me. I do however, recognise that it’s something I need to work on. I am looking forward to this week’s lessons.
