135 | 'Mind Your Mind': Powerful Tips to Shift Thoughts & Assumptions with Dr. Randa Anderson

“Is everything really the way it appears to you? Always put a question mark after every thought, since you usually look at things with a negative slant…If you put two question marks, it is better. If you put three, it is better still.” - St. Paisios (modern saint from Mt. Athos). Our mind and thoughts are so helpful in navigating our responsibilities and life, but on the flip side, they can get us at times into difficulties, as thoughts are usually a reflection of our subconscious assumptions and beliefs. It is comforting to know that christian faith and psychology point to the same reality - that thoughts can and need to be questioned, in order to identify our assumptions and clear the lens with which we see the world.
