Cultivating An Inspired Life with Susyn Reeve

MP3 Download

How can we reprogram our habits of thought that have worn a path in our brain synapses? How do we even know when we are thinking self-negating thoughts? Reeve says, "The trick is to pay attention to our feelings because our thoughts generate our feelings. Our feelings are our personal guidance system." She gives many examples of how we can upgrade the "software of our mind." One example includes being stuck in traffic on the drive to the New Dimensions studio where the main freeway was closed down for over four hours. She encourages us to evolve our thinking so that we are aligned with that which we desire, always keeping in mind the bigger picture of what we really want instead of the narrow focus of what is not working.
