Can't Sleep at 3 AM? Three Thinking Patterns That May Be Why #019

from Identity Matters · host Dr. Kathleen Perry

There’s a kind of mind-created “crazy thinking” that can wake us up in the middle of the night and grab our full attention.There’s three common patterns I’ve noticed in myself and others: the to-do list , the emotional replay, and scanning for threats.Today, I connect these patterns to personas we identify with (like being the organized, sensitive, or responsible one) and explain that these constructs are just stories kept alive by thinking.When we recognize these thoughts as thoughts, nothing is wrong, nothing needs fixing, and things can loosen so we can return to simply being.Sign up for my newsletter: https://drkathleenperry.activehosted.com/f/7
