Do you find yourself complaining regularly about some condition in your life? This may require a bit of internal investigation … also known as applied awareness. When we are repeatedly dealing with a situation that causes us to express dissatisfaction, there is something at work in our subconscious. We are committed to something that we are not consciously aware of. Why would we commit ourselves to something that doesn’t make us happy?
In this episode, you will:
- Make a commitment to changing thought processes that perpetuate negativity
- Understand the effect that negative thinking has on the mental state
- Learn new ways to recognize and control thoughts before they wreak havoc
