If you spend too much time telling the story of how messed up you are, on the long term, that's just feeding your monkey mind, sure, and it's going to lead you to distress.
Ever feel like your mind is constantly racing, filled with unhelpful thoughts that sabotage your recovery? In this episode of 'The Way Out', hosts Charlie and Jason sit down with JF Benoist, the author of 'Addicted to the Monkey Mind'. Benoist introduces the concept of the 'Monkey Mind', a state of mental chatter that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns. He contrasts this with the 'Observing Mind', a state of awareness that allows for healthier decision-making and emotional balance.
The discussion is a refreshing departure from the usual 12-Step focus, offering new insights into how we can transform our minds and bodies in unison for lasting recovery. Benoist also touches on the importance of recognizing and challenging false beliefs and counterproductive thoughts. By developing an Observing Mind, we can foster self-awareness and resilience. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the mental traps that hinder their recovery journey.
