Your thoughts, whether kind, heart-centered, resentful, mean, or lacking hope, will feed your mind and body and the larger field of energy around you. Our thoughts contribute to greater collective consciousness. I like to think about it like the old cartoons where you'd see thought bubbles above the character's head. Imagine if you combined all the thought bubbles around our heads into one giant thought bubble. That's what the collective consciousness is — one massive thought bubble of energy and emotion generated by you and me. This means that what you're thinking and saying to yourself matters not only for your mind, body, and emotional well-being but also for the collective. Pretty powerful, right?!   How To Stop Your Negative Thoughts We all experience in the ballpark of 70,000 thoughts a day. Many of these thoughts are negative, throw-away thoughts that don't add value or support to your self-esteem. The problem is that over time it's easy to start believing your negative thoughts, which leads to a cascade of negative consequences affecting your well-being and life. There is a way out, and it starts with greater awareness.    The simple way to know when you've treaded in dangerous negative thought territory is by how you feel. If a thought has you feeling overwhelmed, angry, resentful, envious, or lacking energy, you know that you're in the neighborhood of unhelpful thoughts. If thought is life-giving and for your highest good, you'll feel greater vitality, energy, and positivity.  Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor talked about this in past interviews in our conversation about her brilliant book, Whole Brain Living. She reminds us that we are emotional beings first, who then think.    This means that your emotions are excellent indications of the kinds of thoughts you are having. The good news is that once you learn how to become an observer and get out of judgment, you can develop the ability to change your thoughts quickly.   This transformative episode taught us the importance of overcoming self-criticism for mental well-being and personal growth. By embracing our imperfections, cultivating self-compassion, and building a solid support system, we can break free from the chains of self-criticism and embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Becoming your 'You-est You' is a lifelong journey worth pursuing.    Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the You-est You podcast.
