I am not my thoughts

This has been a serious season of personal development for me. Recently I’ve been working with a coach who has helped me understand that my emotions can be traced back to my thoughts. I’ve started a practice of tracking my emotions and laddering them up my thoughts to cultivate better awareness.

In @garyjohnbishop‘s book Unf*ck Your Life he provides the idea that we are not our thoughts, which I appreciate. Yeah we aren’t going to feel great all the time, but that doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means that you’re human.
