Every day you move forward with your mind
![Page 3: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
and your body shuffles along...
![Page 4: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Every moment that you decide to be here with us
![Page 5: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
you are making an active choice to be a part of all of this
![Page 6: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
whatever this is
![Page 7: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
and every day you know just a little more than the day before
![Page 8: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
so you can move forward
![Page 9: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
and every day you get closer
![Page 10: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
to knowing more about
![Page 11: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
what it is that you want
![Page 12: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
which is something you don’t know about as much as you
would like
![Page 13: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
and that is the story of your experience
![Page 14: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
now you will not know what is coming next
![Page 15: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
and predictions about what is to come will only
get you so far
![Page 16: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
but you can be rest assured that
![Page 17: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
what is coming
![Page 18: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
will involve you
![Page 19: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
and will most certainly be
![Page 20: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
something you never could have imagined
![Page 21: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
thinking can make it feel as if you are in complete control
![Page 22: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
and thinking can also make it feel as if you have no control at all
![Page 23: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
excessive thinking can turn
into worry or
rumination
![Page 24: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
rumination can worsen and lead to stress and
anxietycc: porschelinn - https://www.flickr.com/photos/54144062@N03

Thinking is weird
![Page 26: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
we still only know very little about how the mind
works
![Page 27: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
now for the most part thinking is a normal
part of you
![Page 28: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
it is something that has always been with you
![Page 29: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
it is as if you have had your
own personal musician
![Page 30: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
following you around since you
were young
![Page 31: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
playing tunes
![Page 32: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
in the background of your experience
![Page 33: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
and thinking can be more debilitating
![Page 34: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
depending on what you are going through
![Page 35: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
and how you are feeling
![Page 36: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
you can try to bring your thinking under your control by force
![Page 37: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
but that is like trying to stop the flow of water from an exploding fire hydrant
![Page 38: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
thinking can even make it feel like you
are a prisoner of your own
reality
![Page 39: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

can feel like the world is

it is like that slipping feeling
![Page 42: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

wants to be in

one way you can guard against excessive
thinking and worry is to practice mindfulness
![Page 47: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
mindfulness is about living every single
moment
![Page 48: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
as if it were a moment that you had a responsibility to be in...
![Page 49: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
mindfulness can help you to be more aware
of yourself
![Page 50: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
and help you in challenging negative
thoughts
![Page 51: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
so that your brain is not fried from stress
![Page 52: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
it is one thing to know about the benefits of mindfulness
![Page 53: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
it can be quite another thing to actually practice
it in your day to day
![Page 54: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
this is because sometimes you can get really stuck in negative thinking patterns
![Page 55: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
your mind can become fixated on what is behind
you
![Page 56: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
or obsess over what is to come
![Page 57: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
excessive thinking
over what you cannot control can quickly get out of hand
![Page 58: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
or even turn into
something ugly
![Page 59: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
your experience of reality shifts based on
your perception

thinking can shrink your perception
![Page 61: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
if you ruminate for long enough you may even start to anticipate negative outcomes
![Page 62: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
and it can feel like everything is out to get you
![Page 63: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
but you can challenge your thoughts
![Page 64: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
and escape negative thinking patterns you find yourself stuck in
![Page 65: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

it can be particularly difficult for you to challenge your
thoughts
![Page 68: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

what you do

So please be kind to yourself
![Page 70: Challenge your Thinking](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587622c11a28ab8b7b8b5097/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
