3 - Do You Agree With Your Thought?

In This Episode:
Alan talks a bit about his own speaking and writing background and his view on helping people grow. Annaliese talks about what “Thought Work” is (taking charge of your thought life), and practical ways to start being more aware of your thoughts and your feelings on a daily basis so that you accept yourself and feel yourself moving more toward where you want to go.

You’ll Hear About:
-You can pick to agree or disagree with your thoughts (they're optional!)
-To think better thoughts, you practice repeating them, it’s intentional not automatic
-Acting in a more mature way with your thoughts and feelings (think "respond" not "react") helps you feel like and be the adult you've been wanting to be in your life
-Feelings are a signpost: they’re meant to be felt, seen and understood (not avoided). Feel it and name it to help your feeling work FOR you not against you.

- Helpful practice: Be physically still for 2 minutes. Feel your feeling and name it. Think, “I’m allowed to pick to feel this feeling. I give myself permission to pick to spend 2 minutes doing this.” Remind yourself that rushing stops you from getting a clear mind.
