SHOW NOTES:
Catching Your Thoughts: A Simple Morning Practice for Real Change
Ever feel like your impulses take over before you even know what you’re doing? Like you’re saying or doing things that don’t align with who you want to be?
This Gritty Wednesday, Jason Lyle shares his own story of feeling out of control in his decisions—and how building simple, daily practices helped him “catch” thoughts before they turned into regrettable actions.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
✅ Why we often react before we even realize what we’re thinking.
✅ How daily mindfulness practice carves new grooves in your mental pathways.
✅ Why this work is training—like preparing for a marathon or climbing a mountain.
✅ How this idea connects to “taking every thought captive” in a real, compassionate way.
✅ The impact of modern overstimulation on your ability to be honest with yourself.
✅ A specific 5-minute morning practice you can try this week to train your mind to pause and listen to your soul.
Listener Invitation:
Before you head out the door this week, try this:
- Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- On the inhale, think: “I am breathing in.”
- On the exhale, think: “I am breathing out.”
This simple practice helps you build the muscle to pause—even in the heat of the moment. And when you catch your thoughts, you can choose your response. That’s what Sacred Grit is all about.
