Day 17 – Mindfulness of Mind I (15 Min):
“Our minds can get lost in how we react to experiences. When something happens, we almost immediately begin to create a story, plan, or fantasy about it. We have a thought about an experience, that thought leads to another, and on and on until we’re far from a real understanding of the experience itself. Mindfulness is noticing the experience in that moment before we get lost in the judgment of the moment or the stories we spin about it… We start by looking at the kinds of thoughts that cause us to act in wholesome or unwholesome ways.”
