4. The thing about thoughts
The thing about thoughts:
What are thoughts?
Where are they?
What impact do they have on you day-to-day?
How do they affect your physical and mental health?
If i said a thought is something that you can hear inside your own head, would you agree?
The word for thought in Sanskrit is Vritti. The thing is that vritti also translates as vortex, or whirlpool. The yogis were so insightful to see that thoughts go round and round and round, and not only that, but they pull us down with them. In to a vortex. Or that there's a whirlpool of thoughts that gain so much energy that they become, in inverted commas 'true'. Like 'my memory is terrible', 'I'm a rubbish driver', 'I suck at maths.'
In this episode we explore, what a thought is, how biology isn't exactly working in our favour, and how we can take small, practical, implementable steps to overcome thoughts and thought patterns that don't serve us. An incredibly important topic, and potentially, absolutely life-changing.
