Nearly 50,000 thoughts barrage your mind daily, inundating you with a flood of feelings and emotions: thinking, musing, fantasizing, planning, anticipating, worrying, liking, disliking, remembering, forgetting, evaluating, reacting, story telling and fabricating reality to conveniently fit your own truth.  You are doing this all day, every day, nonstop mental commentary.  Even more remarkable, 98% of […]

Trapped in our Minds

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Spiritual|May 20, 2022

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so! ~Shakespeare~ Have a look around, observe how nearly everyone around you is completely lost in thought.

Field of Awareness

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Random|April 21, 2022

It has been proven we can hold as many as six thoughts in our conscious simultaneously.
