Taming the Mind: Joe McDonald on Handling Attack Thoughts

So the way I want to exercise my willpower is wrestling with my thoughts of how things ought to be versus how they are.
Ever feel like your mind is your own worst enemy? In this episode of the Position of Neutrality podcast, host Joe McDonald tackles the tricky subject of 'attack thoughts'. These are those nagging, negative thoughts that can creep in and take over without us even realizing. Joe explains that the first step to managing these thoughts is to become aware of them.
It's like shining a flashlight in a dark room – suddenly, you see what’s been lurking in the shadows. But awareness is just the beginning. Joe dives into the power of willpower and how we can use it to redirect our thoughts towards more positive and helpful directions. Instead of trying to change the outside world, he suggests focusing on changing our own minds.
This means actively wrestling with those negative thoughts and steering them towards a mindset of helping others. It’s not easy, but Joe believes it's essential for finding true peace and happiness. So, if you’ve been struggling with a noisy mind, this episode offers practical advice on how to quiet those attack thoughts and find a sense of inner calm.
Tune in and learn how aligning your thoughts with the goal of helping others can lead to a happier, more peaceful life.
