Our brains can sure take us for a ride we didn’t ask to get on!
They can distract us with negative thoughts, unhelpful emotions, and self-sabotaging urges.
We don’t have to continue to fall prey to this pattern.
Our brains are like wild horses, following their own agenda, tossing us every which way, bucking us off our goals as they wish.
Just like horses, our brains can be tamed. We must remind ourselves that we are the riders. We can calm and steer our brains.
In order to do this, we must strictly monitor what we tune into and what we allow to “pass” in. Like bridges with height limits for trucks, if a thought, emotion, or urge is “too tall” for our wellbeing, we don’t let it through.
