Understanding Our Human Mind

What is it about the mind that causes so much suffering?

The truth is, the mind itself is not the problem. Our mind is programmed to do one job and one job only – survive and be alert to potential threats. So, in an effort to protect us from harm, the brain causes us harm by ruminating about past trauma and worrying about the future.

In this episode, we’ll break down the human mind and the source of all our suffering as a species. I’ll also share the easiest way to experience true freedom in your life and a practical exercise to help you overcome negative thinking. 

  • All you need to know about the human mind and our thoughts
  • What happens when you’re trying to control the mind
  • Is it possible to actually stop thinking?
  • Understand that the mind is designed to be a survival tool
  • The benefits of writing down your thoughts
  • Practical exercise to destroy negative thinking
  • How to gain control over the human need for survival
  • Ways to experience true freedom in your life
  • The pros and cons of daily affirmations
  • The exercise of Stoking the mind

Quotes

  • “We are not thinking most of the time; we are being thought by a constant stream of thoughts that are mechanically driven by a survival mechanism in the brain.” 
  • “The mind itself is not the problem. It is our relationship with the mind.”
