Your thoughts and emotions, day in day out, affect all aspects of your life. Learning to be mindful of your “internal dialogue” will help you recognize thought patterns and how they may be affecting the way you handle the situations of daily living.
Many people have found that, when they tune in to their internal dialogue, much of it is negative. Thoughts like, “I could never do that” and “What if I fail?” can seriously impact the way you behave. This, in turn, affects every aspect of your life.
When we are stressed, certain hormones are produced by the body. When released infrequently, these hormones are harmless but, when produced continuously, they can cause serious damage. Cardiovascular disease is caused in part by the continuous production of stress hormones and by the arterial damage caused by the free radicals created in the process.
Letting go of attachment to these negative thoughts and emotions is very self-liberating. This is a process in itself; however, well worth the effort. Learn and Practice Meditation
