Turn Off the Enemy in Your Mind
Many of us speak to ourselves in demeaning and hurtful ways, using language we would never use with anyone else. And it's this way of talking to ourselves that defines how we view the world. If you’re constantly using language that assumes the worst of yourself, or that rattles off all the things you've done wrong—your entire world will be affected. While you want to feel free, open, calm and relaxed instead you become stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction, anxiety, and fear. The good news is; when you change how you communicate with yourself, you’ll soon see how the rest of your world will begin to change, too.
When you start paying attention to how you speak to yourself and the root judgments that are causing your negative self-talk, you’ll see how you are perpetuating the thoughts and feelings you don’t want through the very language you’re using on yourself. To enjoy your life—to really see that the world is full of possibilities rather than liabilities—you need to let go of the negative self-talk and speak to yourself from a place of compassion, be aware of any self-judgments and biases that arise, and replace them with truthful, helpful, and kind language. And that's what this course is going to help you do. You'll learn the Middle Path of Self-Communication, which consists of five mindful practices grounded in Buddhist principles to help you shift your negative self-talk to more balanced self-communication.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Turn off the enemy in your mind.
- Create a new relationship with yourself and the world around you.
- Change the words you use to speak to yourself.
- Identify and release your negative self-talk.
- Speak to yourself in a kind, honest, and helpful way.
There are lots of courses that teach you how to communicate with others, but the critical first step in speaking to others in a kind, honest, and helpful way is to learn how to communicate this way with yourself.
