Turn off your phone and choose a time when you will not be disturbed and spend the next 20 minutes, being as quiet and peaceful as you are able to be. In this time pay attention to your thoughts and note the times you find yourself falling into negative self-talk or becoming distracted. Distractions don’t need to be significant for it to count, it may manifest as a flash of anxiety as past scenario comes to mind or concern about something that may happen, or a stray negative thought.
This mindfulness practice is not purely concerned with negative thought patterns. It is about taking inventory of what comes up in our periphery over 20 minutes of your daily life. The more neutral you can be, the witness in your life – not lost in the drama and illusion the more information you will come to you.
Write them down your thoughts and feelings as they come so that they can be worked with later. Don’t question, censor or judge them, just allow them to flow. As we walk through life, these points’ distractions are significant entryways or portals into more profound inner deep soul work. The act of being the observer and acknowledging what your triggers are with an open heart can bring deep healing to them in ways that your brain cannot quantify.
The light of your awareness is in fact the true healing. Simply just by being.
