Episode 201: What Does It Mean To Be "The Thinker?"

from Psychology Has It Backwards · host Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman

We talk readily about being "the thinkers of our own thoughts" and because of that, being "the creators of own reality."  But it matters to realize the remarkable power of those facts.  We never have to live as the victim of our own most negative or distressing thoughts.  When people say casually how upset they are that they "keep thinking about" something that troubles or concerns them, they are missing the remarkable truth about our power TO think, the power we have to decide what we hold in mind, to change our minds, or to let it go.  What we think takes form as an idea which appears real.  But the life of a thought is only as long as we think it.  So reality shifts as our thinking changes.  We are never stuck in any "reality."  Our experience changes as our thinking changes.Support the show
