EM 09: We are not our thoughts - learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions (EM09)


Description
Week 09 - EM00 to EM12 are all part of the 12-week Self-Mastery course.
Before you start this course you must have completed our free mandatory introduction 00 EM.
While you can view any week as stand-alone, the course is designed to build on foundations. We recommend that the most significant benefit is moving progressively through the weeks, building your skills one week at a time.

In week 9 we refocus on the skills we need to solve problems so that we can move toward the life that we want to create for ourselves. We'll practice using skills to objectively examine our thoughts and see how they differ from facts. We use the framework of the five solutions to a difficult emotional problem, and practice in more depth:

• Radical Acceptance
• Turning the mind
• Walking the middle path
• Willing hands
• Willingness and willfulness

We'll consider the interesting concept of "just because I think or feel something, doesn't necessarily mean it's true".
