You aren't your thoughts

How our thoughts bind us

Introduction

In the last lesson, you learned that you can’t choose all your thoughts and therefore aren’t responsible for all of them. But you can choose how you respond to your thoughts. You can decide which ones to listen to and which ones are unhelpful. Your work is to notice the unhelpful ones, then let them go or disobey them. This lesson will help you look at your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations from a different perspective — to see these as just experiences and nothing more.
