Mon Jul 03 2023meditationmindfulnessunconscious mind
Today's episode focuses on reprogramming our unconscious mind through meditation. We explore how conscious thoughts become unconscious thinking, the discomfort of thinking new positive thoughts, and the process of replacing negative thought patterns with positive ones. Recognizing and isolating negative thoughts is the first step to reprogramming our minds. Meditation helps us become present and aware of our thought patterns, and repeating positive thoughts over time helps make them natural and familiar. We also discuss developing mindfulness and presence through focusing on the breath, recognizing when the mind wanders, and practicing being present in the moment.
