Sometimes we need an editor.
But what if we could learn to edit ourselves? What if we had an internal “red button” that would BLEEP our thoughts when they’re harmful, shaming, negative, labeling, or otherwise unhelpful to us? What if we could learn to place a 5-second pause between a feeling and a thought or between a thought and a reaction?
We can! But it takes self-brain surgery.
This episode is about worldview, self-editing, and how to change your mind.
