Thoughts & Feelings Part 1

Thoughts and feelings

It truly is all about remaining positive and looking on the bright side.

My thoughts

I learned that when you think about something else instead of just feeling you can feel different you don’t have to feel the emotion you can think of something else.

Rain

I cant control what happens around me. But I can control my reactions and attitude towards it.

What I learned

I learned that with a positive mindset life goes much better and smoother

Thinking

I needed to be reminded that just because I think something, doesn't make it true. I'm going to be reminding myself of this over and over.

I noticed that I have the power to make my day good or bad

I learned that you can change your day simply by seeing the positive side of events and not feeling pity for yourself and think “ugh this sucks bad thing always happen to me” instead think “now I can do this...” or “if this didn’t happen I would have never learned this...”

Positive

I learned that no matter the circumstances think positive even if it’s some bad think of a better outcome and it will change the way you look at things 🌿

Perceptions

I learned that my perception of daily events can determine how I feel. The more positive my perceptions, the happier and mentally healthy I will be 😌

Thoughts

A lot of how our day goes reflects on how we feel when we come home at the end of it. Trying to think positively when faced with difficult situations can ultimately change the way you feel after everything is said and done.

Sadness

I learned that i can not control what happens around me, but you can control them as well.

Perception

It's how we perceive and interpret the events around us that determine our emotional status and outlook.

First life coach session

I learned that there is most always a silver lining and a positive way to think of things

First life coach session

I’ve learned that it’s not always about me and how things affect me. I learned that I need to stop being negative and look at the positive things in life and look at things in a positive way

First lesson

Pay attention to my mood When I’m stressed or anxious ask myself if there is another way for me to interpret the situation. This also works whenever I’m angry at something I have no control over (like someone else’s driving) it is useless to waste my energy on anger towards about something i had no control over. Feeling pretty good. I also stretched while she talked to me and that was nice. I feel like if I would have tried to medicate I would have gotten more stressed.

Teachings and prayers

Because we can choose to think something differently to change what we feel in the moment means that you cannot trust yourself to have to the “correct” emotions about things. I see this story as a way of telling people that you are in control even when you FEEL you are not, but if you can’t successfully change the way you feel simply by changing the way you THINK you feel then, god save you.

Empathy

This was a calming talk. It’s always good to be reminded that we control our own thoughts and behaviors. And no one else. Be nice and always remember the person who just acted inappropriately may be having the worst day of their life. Love each other.

We can’t control outside world

But we can control myself and reaction and even feeling So I think is change anything

Reminder

It reminded me that there are more then one way to look at a situation. Chose the way that keeps you calm and believe it.

5/3/18

I learned that if you have a positive mindset you will have a clearer or positive day even if something bad happens that makes you upset or angry if you think of it positively you can get anywhere

Stress

Is not around us but within us. Let it go is a great mantra!

Stress Reflection

I learned that I need to think about why people act the way they do. Not in a bad way, but maybe they’re going through a lot and they’re not usually assholes. Especially working in the hospitality service, I need to remember that everyone is living there own lives and we don’t know what’s going on in their lives.

I noticed that it’s okay not to be okay it’ll get better

Also to control the way you think about things and look at them with a different perspective

Perception

I learned that life does not alter our mood itself, but the reaction to a stimuli in our life dictates how we feel. We choose how we want to perceive any given event, where to look at the positive, or the negative.

Open-Minded

I have noticed that we like to see the world in one way and that we don’t want anything to change. I’ve also learned that we need to be more open-minded to certain things and try our best not to get angry, sad, etc. over something.

Day 2

Today was not a good day, I was tired and people were rude to me. But, when I got home I got on Aura and I felt better and learned that I can turn the bad things that happened today into motivation to do my best.

Blah .....

Listening to Thoughts and Feelings Part 1 tonight was / is a helpful reminder for me to look at things in other ways ... I think I will leave it at that for tonight because I am not feeling well and I am very tired ... tomorrow is a brand new day

Perspection

Just because you think something doesn’t make it true...such an amazing and powerful statement. The moment we alter how we perceive a situation from hate to Love. We can find Peace and Joy in any situation.

Relation to revelation

The relationship demonstrated of thoughts, feelings, and our surroundings leads to a revelation. I can’t control what happens around me but I can change my thoughts and response. Question the surroundings and question if my response is valid or if there are other circumstances which elicit an empathetic response.

Thoughts and feelings

I know that when I do honk in this way I do feel better. I need to get good at thinking this way more often. Positive.

What did she say?

I’m laughing so hard I can hardly see! 😂. Towards the end of the meditation, the teacher is talking about getting cut off in traffic and I think she says “ok, a**hole”, but maybe there’s a reason why that person cut you off. It’s a great meditation to make you think twice before judging, but this really caught me off guard. Please correct me if I’m wrong. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s not road rage 🤯

I get it, we have more control over our feelings and reactions then we think. But sometimes I just want to call someone a (a..hole) if they cut in front of me while I’m driving and almost kill me. It’s not like road rage 😡 it’s verbally venting and it happens spontaneously! Then a little deep breathing to settle down. OMG that was close!😱

WOW

This life lesson taught me to look at the optimistic side instead of the pessimistic side. She used real life examples that happen very often to really connect to the listener.

Thinking and Feeling

Our feelings are not determined by our external environment, but rather the way we think about it. If it is a rainy day, we might think that it means our plans are cancelled, and then feel sad or disappointed, or we can think about the other things we might be able to do instead, like sitting inside, wrapped up warm in bed reading your favourite book, in turn, feeling happiness. 🌤 🌧 📖 It is our reactions to events and the interpretations we make in everyday life that influence the way we are feeling. Try to change the way you think and you might just feel that little bit better. 😊

I can choose

“Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true” That last quote really resonated with me because I’m always worrying about whether my relationship is right and how I’m supposed to be feeling. Because of this concern, I’m never feeling positive. This reminds me that I can choose to be positive and happy just like I have been for 2 years. I deserve those feelings and so does my wonderful, selfless partner!

I get it just cuz think it doesn't mean it's true ! Sometimes life get in way n clouds our thoughts

But things around us can between thatcoear thought but prove why u think it do u know for sure !

Part one

If I can keep this up for the next few days, I’m pretty sure I’ll have no more stress and think more positive!

My safe place

I imagined being in the most amazing place of all the most comfortable and the most relaxing that place is in my boyfriends arms

Thoughts

I learned just how important thought and how u feel about a certain situation can affect you. Just because ur view is causing unpleasant emotions and feelings doesn’t that you have a clear view of the situation. You may have interpreted the situation incorrectly. Responding with empathy to your unpleasant thoughts can directly impact how you feel.

Positively interpret the situations

I could either choose happiness and not let anything steal my joy or I could choose to have my emotional self jolted from left to right based on little things that happen around me like getting cut off in traffic or experiencing a rainy day!

Rock bottom

This made me realize that when I feel like I have hit rock bottom and I always have to work my butt off to get back to the top, to not look at it as a time of defeat but a chance to try again. I have never interpreted thoughts and feeling that way cause I have only looked at them as nothing more than what we feel on a daily basis but hearing that really makes you think about your everyday feelings. I went to practice my trumpet today and it was horrible I’m trying to memorize music so I can make starting lineup for marching band even though I’m only going to be a freshman. And it just wasn’t going my way and I wasn’t getting the music down I got so upset that I stopped practicing and went for a walk as I was walking I started crying because I couldn’t take private lessons over the summer because they were out of our control so I couldn’t get the help I needed and at that moment I wasn’t upset anymore I was more frustrated and stressed than ever. Things kinda just started going downhill for the rest of the night or at least that is what it felt like, but after hearing and listening to this I realized that things weren’t bad at all it was just the way I was seeing them to be. This helped me so much and I can go to sleep not feeling stressed or like there is a ton of weight on my shoulders but feel like everything will just get better from her so thank you for that.

Cut the scenarios

Isn’t it more about accepting the moment ‘as is’? No strings attached? This feels a bit like deceiving yourself, imagining positive scenarios to justify what’s happening to you.

Perception

I learned my perception of things and events can change my whole mindset.

Changed how I look at situations

This helped me to see the bright side of every situation and helped me to realize that I need to change my perspective

Don’t give in

This meditation really allowed me to confront daily action that may affect me with a different thought pattern. It took me a while to realize just because I think something doesn’t mean it’s true and to change my emotions when I’m confronted with negativity and try to respond to situations differently.

Thoughts 2

I was so terrified at the beginning. I kept thinking and thinking and always found a negative comeback as she spoke. But I fell into the subtle music and the meaning of what she said. At the end I realized what she saying was true... Now I suddenly feel a comforting relief.

I felt invigorated, calm & reminded.

I learned to remember it’s all about perception. Mindful of old adage, cannot control what happens to oneself but only how one deals with the cards we’re dealt/obstacles/challenges we encounter in terms of doing better and being better in adversity. Also cannot know what everyone’s reality is so try to give others the benefit of the doubt and be kind rather than angered/spiteful.

I felt like everything in my life was going wrong

I learned that things my not turn out the way u want it, but that there’s always another way, and that we just need to wait patiently cuz u never know what could happen.😊 (Never let a rainy day change ur day and your mood)...

Positive thoughts

I learned that when we get a negative thought towards something that has happened, we don’t stop to think why that thing has happened. This meditation helped me to see that certain thoughts eat away at you and stress you out. If you don’t stop and think, “why am I thinking these thoughts? I don’t need to think them”, you can minimise that stress and feel more at peace.

Thoughts and feelings

I remembered that assumption of the things that happen around us daily is what makes us feel negative emotions and that when practicing not assuming and just notice what happened the emotions don’t get altered.

Importance

I learned that the important things in life must come before the little things.

The Power of Thoughts & Feelings

I learned I should practice more with thoughts and feeling because it's a reflection on how we can interpret things we see or hear, in any given situation. Sometimes, the human tendency of control will react without knowing the unbalanced universe scale reasons. By looking at the equation and recognizing our own off-center days of distraction without judgment of ourselves or others with a resolution, just by letting go. I believe this to be the real emotional power of thoughts & feeling and moving forward.

Moods come and go

I learned that moods and feelings can pass by like waves. You don’t always have to stress about every mood swing. It just takes watching and listening to your body.

learning.

i’ve learned that not to always assume things when i don’t actually know the truth to what is happening. i’ve learnt to have a positive outlook on bad situations and interpret the situation differently then to how i normally would.

peace

by breathing and channelling one's thoughts on to your breath you feel at peace

Reframing

I’ve noticed that reframing things and events helps a lot. Lately I’ve been using “I can” instead of “I have to”. Which is good since I have been working so much ot.

Different Way of Thinking

I learned that I can see certain situations differently and truly I could have been doing that all the time but just ignored that thought but I will try.

Interesting

I learned that if you change your perspective on the way you think about things it can improve your mood.

perception

It's alla bout perception; perception of other actions, immediate reactions to those actions, and that causes how things are handled. change your perception and you can change your thoughts and emotions for the better.

Perceptions...

I must remember and be aware, what I think and what is true may not align and so my actions should be focused on love because where there is love there is no fear

:)

I feel way different about situations surprisingly but gonna keep a positive mindset, going to take advantage about what id usually feel down on.

day 2 life coach

I feel hopeful, I learned that it is not what happends around me that affects how I feel, but how I choose to look at the situation. this not something I can change overnight but its a helathy reminder to look at the positive side of things.

How YOU think

You can’t control what other people do. But what you can always control is how you react. I feel it is important to always practice control and how you react many things that seem annoying or might make you angry or stressed out can simply be thought of another way and everybody will be better off for it.

My thoughts are my subjective truth

The lenses by which I view the world may be exchanged for yellow, reflective, or rose-colored. Even if they are clear lenses, they are MY lenses, and I am the only person who can see thru them. So, why not look for the best viewpoint? It can only improve my perspective!

|2|

This session was great. It changed my way of thinking in just 3 minutes and I love the way the girl explains everything. She doesn’t sound rude or offensive or fake. I appreciate how realistic she is.

Perspective

It's all about perspective. I need to change my Outlook on some situations to understand.

Creative mind

Our mind can shift us into panic or peace, depending on what we allow ourselves to concentrate on. I struggle with anxiety but I’m finding that meditation directs my mind to peace and less worrying. I learned how thoughts are just thoughts, but by gaining new insight we may create a new aspect that promotes happiness, generosity and love. Good night.

Occurrences

How we feel about what occurs around us during the day is subject to our interpretation of the events. The events themselves do not cause us to feel any particular way. Rather, it is the way we view and interpret the events, the meaning we give them is the cause of our feelings and responses to the events.

T&F

I needed this reminder. I had rude guests at my job today that lashed out at me for something out of my control. It does become hurtful when it’s constant and I cried on my way home. Tomorrow I will remind myself it has nothing to do with me.

A great reminder

I previously learned that a thought is not a fact and to be mindful of my thoughts affecting my feelings years ago, but this is a fantastic and quick reminder of this practice and possibly one to use to start many days off in a more mindful positive way. Great stuff! 😊

Useful Lesson

this is something I strive to be mindful of every day. constantly I let what other people do, think and say influence how I feel and the things I do. I need to step back and think, "Hey, you are what matters, you are alright, you will be alright and who gives a fuck about what other people think"

Thoughts and Feelings

Just because you think something doesn't make it true! Wow, now to hold that in my heart... spin those thoughts to think in good ways. This will change the world.

<3

Great reminder that we aren’t in control of the things around us , but we are in control of how we interpret and allow things to have an effect on us/our emotions. Being more mindful and aware of the moment , rather than just reacting can dictate and change your whole state of being. Thank you<3 AB

influence on feelings

people let the things which happen around us have influence on our feelings. when it rains you get sad because you think you will get sad. when someone cuts you off in traffic you get angry but see it in another way. when it rains you can read a book, drink tea and watch that movie you wanted. when someone cuts you off you can think oh, maybe they were in a rush to someone in the hospital. this was a very helpful lesson and im gonna try to remember this really well

dude

Great talk but Aura robbed me of nearly 30seconds with piano and to tell me I'm using Aura wth dude stahp, I get enough adds of YouTube.

Thoughts and Feelings

The thoughts you have about a certain situation are very powerful concerning how you feel. Develop positive thinking to promote positive feelings.

Thank you!

Thank you for this first part. I will do my best to apply this tip. l’m eager to listen to the second part! 🙏🏻😀

i noticed its not my fault for things around me to happen. i can change how i feel about it though

i learned i can look at hings in other ways than i would before

Feeling are hard to control

It’s very true, the way you think makes you a certain ways. Glass is always half full

Thoughts

I need to sit back and think about whatever happened and think that maybe there’s a reason that this happened, that I’m getting painted in a different direction.

Perspective

I really like how this session made me look at situations differently. We (myself included) can get so self absorbed that we don't realize whoever gets us angry /stressed has their own story. Also just trying to put a different spin on a not so great situation can be real helpful.

better mindset

I really appreciate the message. I feel better now. I decide how I feel based on my thoughts about the situations in my everyday life.

forgiveness

one hurts less when forgiveness can be understood with the heart, not by logic.

Controlling our Feelings

This is so important to always keep in mind, wether times are rough or good. Keeping a positive attitude and pursuing your own happiness is what is going to make you feel better even at times of chrisis or sadness.

I Just Want To Feel Like Me Again

I used to be so optimistic and cheerful but now I'm always stressed, tired, and overall just confused a lot of the time with how my emotions and thoughts and feelings work because it scares the fuck out of me to not know why I can't hold a good relationship, or why I overthink how my friends feel towards me, or even just wondering where I'd be tomorrow as an Agnostic if the world ended or if I died right now. alright I'm rambling. sorry to anyone who's read this far. but hey here I am again apologizing for the fear of annoying people or bothering them with this and hoping people don't just assume I'm this weak, sad, complaining mind spilled onto an app. that's all, ok, enjoy the rest of your meditations and relaxation

Being Aware

In this short life coaching session, Cassandra reminds us to be aware of the lenses that we use to look at various events and situations. She reminds us that by being aware, we have the ability to adjust or refocus the lens.

Input vs feelings

Great intention to not let input I can’t control direct my feelings. Namaste

04.25.2019/00h24

A great mindset to have. Not judgemental, but understanding. Totally changes one's perspective and approach towards handling a bad, awkward or sticky situation.

Thoughts & Feelings part 1

I learned that we have control over how we feel. We can’t let what happens to us control our feelings. Our thoughts and mind set on how we react to a situation has total control on our feelings. The way we react and respond to situations and obstacles and challenges can determine how we think and feel. If we have a positive attitude and mindset then we will feel happier and be happier then if we act and respond negatively. Its all about mindfulness we, myself included need to be more aware of our thoughts and then how we respond and react to certain things and then make sure we are aware that when we do think something, see if we can alter it and be aware and ask ourselves if there is a possibility of a different way to view it or a different outcome. Just because we think something doesn’t mean it’s right. This meditation was very helpful. Namaste 😌

Reaction>feelings

Our responses to situations are different than our feelings. For me, typically a fairly negative person, my reactions to situations tend to be pretty gloomy overall. But I don't have to let it define me or rule my days. I can choose to see the silver lining rather than the storm clouds. Thankfully, my beautiful wife is my opposite! She's typically bright and cheerful. The optimist balance to my pessimist self.

Personal Development

I need to consider alternative view points when I’m frustrated by others or outside influences that I can’t control.

Setting the tone

Just because I think something, doesn’t make it true. I’m capable of so much more than I limit myself to. If I stop and take some deep breaths, then try to see another perspective to a conflict/obstacle, I preserve my mind and body. Healthier and happier for me to forgive, let it go, and look forward to a better tomorrow

Judging in a wrong way

Just because I think something doesn't make it true. It depends from which side you see it.

Good points

Sometimes it feels like this is obvious, or should be - that it’s our interpretation of situations that helps define how we feel about things, but it so often isn’t. But it’s an essential part of understanding, and practicing, mindfulness. Deciding, discerning how we respond (like not flipping the bird to someone who tried to cut me off in traffic last night, instead giving my car a good congratulatory pat of appreciation) is essential; responding in anger would only escalate the anger in the situation, and leave me upset all night. So, yes - we can control our responses to a great extent, if we decide to beforehand. It’s training oneself to be mindful.

I felt good because I was looking st my day differently and I feel better now

I learned that it’s how u look at things what make u sad or happy

"everything happens to me..."

i've noticed that once you start using that sentence, everything seems worse. a little setback in your day becomes something that completely ruins it and you get into a loop where even if good things happen to you, you only focus on the bad ones, even if they are far less important. this holds you back from actually enjoying your achievements. if you feel this way i would recomend listening to this. it really helped me! :)

Control

Can’t really control every single situation and therefore I need to learn to not let it affect me so much.

Feelings

I learned that how you think what you I feel isn’t necessary true like someone cuts in front of you driving makes me angry someone blows from behind like they’re in a rush to get work or wherever makes me nervous when I hear a siren or ambulance or something. I wanna feel like I used to feel like driving old car with friends all with me I didn’t feel nervous or scared now I do. Have a blessed day everyone ☺️

Mindset

I can think of situations differently instead of just getting angry

Today I learned

Apparently work cares more about me than I thought, and that the reciprocal is true about how much effort they think I put into my job. Got a final written warning and my first written one right before it. I don’t know how to feel about it but I feel new, like a new mindset towards work. It was like a dissociative wake up call.

Your Choice

The end result of your feelings towards a situation all begins with how you take in a certain instance... optimism towards those instances will help you feel positive overall!

Aura Day 1

When I listened to Cassandra talk I realized what she said was very true and reflective of how I act day to day. I need to begin making small changes and try my hardest to stay postive about everything that I encounter. Whether I wanted it to happen or was suprised by it, I can only control how I react. I can do this!

I've been saying it till I'm blue in the face. I do not feel love from my partner.

I've been emotionally exhausted and disconnected. I almost have anxiety everytime I'm w him. I can't be myself and I'm self conscious and uncomfortable. I'm just hoping things will get better before I find something better. I'm feel like I'm noticing other men and I envy or admire couples I see. I'm confused inside...

she's right

after listening to her talk I have realized that what she said is completely true. I will definitely try to work on thinking more positively

Anxiety and frustration

Patience is the key. I need to wait for the right time to meet someone and appreciate what I have now.

think

I learned that you shiuldnt let the outside dictate how you feel adapt to the flow of life

First Thoughts

I learned that your surroundings don’t control/dictate how you feel. A rainy day “makes” people feel sad. But.. you don’t have to feel that way just because of your surroundings.

Even your reactions are a choice...

When it comes to a situation, what you do or how you react to it is a choice. If you were caught in traffic, you can get to choose to be angry or see the bright side of it. Choose your battles wisely. Choose how you will react to a certain situation whatever you feel is the right thing to do.

Thoughts and feelings

Stuff that happens around me isn’t as bad as you can make it seem, it is how u interpret the situation is what makes it good or bad not the situation itself. Think of it in a positive way and it will become positive :)

feelings

i need to have a new prospective in bad situations, i need to be happy with whatever life throws at me. that includes moving on from my ex boyfriend

Time..

I learned that taking your time really helps with stress if you rushing and wanting to get it done right then and there can get you stressed you just need to slow down and take your time

Feeling

I noticed that feelings were a direct representation of how you interpret the input. I am learning to be more mindful of my reaction.

I learned..

I learned that I should relax and be calm and not call people bad words. People can be in a rush somewhere just like a ambulance is.

Thinking

Just because u think something doesn't mean it's true. Think of a positive thing in a negative situation to make things better

Overthinking

I realized I need to stop dwelling on the past. I overthink a lot

Day 1

I learned that through mindfulness, we can control the way we’re feeling no matter the environment around us. It takes a positive train of thought.

My perspective

I learned that the way I interpret what happens around me can change the outcome of how I feel

Mindset

I learned that I need to change my view of things happening around me. Otherwise I make myself have a bad mood. Think more positively.

Thinking...

Do not let events or people determine how you feel. Choose to feel good & think good thoughts first and you can then see good in every event & every person! It is always there waiting to be discovered by the wise person looking for it. Thus one of my favorite sayings is : “What you Think about, you bring about” Our repeated thoughts start the Law of Attraction in motion. We determine if it is for the best or worst, by our Choice of how we feel about it or them. Then the events and people to support how we feel start to appear into our lives. WE should control our environment, not the other way around. ❤️☮️🍀

Mindset

Before this session it would feel like a bug to have bad things happen around me, like a burden that I had to always carry. By interpreting the rage and hatred that I felt I shrunk the burden to something smaller, making it easier to live life through hard times.

Thoughts & Feelings

How I think and react to thinks is what defines my mood, not the actual thing that happened.

mindfulness

i learned that we can control the way we feel towards and around others

Mind

We can control the emotions towards things ! Which aren’t permanent

Stoicism gives me serenity

I feel entirely more in control of my life by using this practice.

Mindset

This helped solidify the idea that I have power over my mindset, which is something I have been practicing the last few days. Noticing my negative thoughts and actively correcting them has helped me shift my mindset.

Change

I learned that you decide how you are going to feel today. Not the weather, not other people and not someone's stress. You own your feelings and no one else does and can. ❤️

1st Lesson

your thoughts become things. it's not what happens to you that controls your mood, it's your reaction to these things. I love this lesson it hits home for me because I used to let outside factors get to me andi always blames that for the way I was feeling but o can LET IT GO and LET IT BE and feel so much better without holding onto all of that.

Mindset

I learned that my feelings are not the result of exterior forces. I do have some control over amplifying my feelings.

Thoughts and Feelings

I can control how I feel more than I’ve previously thought I could.

I learned that I can look at situations from another perspective.

I learned that I can look at situations from another perspective.

This...feeling

I I learned that we have different feelings one day we can feel one thing that I say we can feel completely different but if you think about the situation you might feel better

Thoughts and feelings

I learned that, interpretation can be the difference between a positive or a negative mood. How you think about things really makes a difference in how you feel.

Something to work on

This is very helpful and definitely something I need to work on. Stopping the negative thought and reframing it is challenging to do in the heat of the moment, but I am hoping that with continued awareness and practice it will become more natural.

thoughts and feelings

I was once again reminded that everything I feel starts from the way I react to a situation.

Interpretation

What happens cannot be changed, but what I think and feel about it can. I can choose how to interprete things happening around me.

Tuesday 6/4

I learned that I need to go to bed earlier to feel better in the morning and to have more energy

assuming

i tend to make the worst out of thing if i see something i don’t think is right i go straight to assuming it’s bad

First day of Aura

I need to focus only on things I can control. What others do should not effect my mood or my day.

How I interpret things happening can change my mental health!

Ex. Maybe the person who cut me off in traffic is in a bigger hurry than I am — instead of being angry at them!

My Part 1 Life Coaching Session

I learned that what you think isn’t always what’s happening and what it actually is. It really helped me have a little bit more empathy for people step by step. I may be young but learning this is always an essential. Thank you.

My first day of aura!

I learned that, I need to only worry about myself not what’s happening around me.

Mindful session 1 - thoughts

I notice I turn to negative thoughts faster than positive and always assume it’s the negative version rather than the positive and if it’s something that involved me, it’s negative.

Change Thoughts

Just because you feel something does not mean it’s true. Look at what is happening differently.

Things Out Of My Control

There are so many things in life that are out of my control yet effect me on a daily basis. Taking a step back and trying to look a situations from a different perspective may help to change my entire outlook.

How I feel

I have a math test and I am scared and sad about other stuff. Nervous about next year too.

I enjoyed the way she presented how we often think whatever is going on around us makes us feel ____

And how she clarified otherwise. I learned another way for this to be presented

Don’t let every little thing affect your mood

Choose more pleasant ways of seeing life’s apparent set backs

Frustration

I learned that taking note that other people can have a different mindset or goal to reach or meet.

How you think is how you feel

Never really got that before... useful to be reminded that other people’s feelings don’t normally relate to your actions

I feel bad

I feel bad today, and I do attributed it to my surroundings. I hate my job. But I hate it because I feel left out and not included. I feel often bullied. I don't party and so I'm not part of the group.

I feel

I learned that you can’t control everything but you can view the actions that happen in a different way .

Gostei desse toque de nao associarmos o exterior com nosso sentimentos.

Acho que ja faço e sei disse mas as vezes me deixo cair e fico depre por causa de algo que aconteceu

Mindfulness

The most challenging part is forming a habit to change interpretations of external stimuli

today

really liked this one, needed to hear it after the week I've been having. it's not what happens that makes the situation its how we react to it

Confused...

I felt that the girls was sure how life works... like things happens for a reason and she should think more wisely of what is said...my opinion

I’m aware but unable to act

I understand that I have no control over what happens around me, but I have no methods or ideas to make my brain believe it, yet...

Self-aware and not in control

I understand that I have no control outside of what I think, how I act, who I am. Understanding and believing are two very different things.

Self-aware and not in control

I understand that I have no control outside of what I think, how I act, who I am. Understanding and believing are two very different things.

Feelings

I learned that I need to look at things differently and be more positive

Thoughts & Feelings.

One can not control everything external. Was irritable & short with work today

My thoughts control my control

I must find a way to look and react in a positive way. Rather than get upset I should be more aware that by changing how I view a situation changes how I respond and feel about it.

Feelings

I learned that I am in control of my feelings and my day;the day is not in control of me.

June 15, 2019

I need to focus on my thoughts and feelings more! Try to look at the positives more than the negative.

look at things in a different way

how we feel isn’t always what’s happening 😄😔😁🧢🐀🧢🐀😝😎😎

work on your brakes

I need to practice staying with a thought long enough to let it go, rather than riding the emotion.

Got it

I have been reactive all my life. Finally I will Say is there an alternative to how I feel. A option to what I think this scenario reflects. Key!

Control your thoughts for a peace of mind

Don’t let external circumstances dictate how we feel . It’s how we interpret what happens that dictated how we feel . Don’t let outside circumstances control you . It’s what we think that happens that counts . Ask your self is there another way of looking at this situation . Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true . Don’t jump to conclusions or assume

Perspective

The way I view situations in life determine how I feel. Instead of forcing on the negativity try to look at it from a neutral or positive perspective.

Thoughts & feelings

Feelings are not dictated by things that happen around is rather, how we “think” about those things happening. Keep a positive outlook

Think before speaking

It’s important that I try and really take in what’s around me or how people are acting. Know your audience

Letting Go Can Take Many Forms

Reflect and act upon intentional thoughts instead of allowing yourself to be immediately reactive

I Can’t Sleep

I didn’t really learn anything and I can’t sleep even with the soothing music

Mindset

Not everything can happen the way you want it to happen other peoples lives are just as in important to

First time

Can’t change what’s happening, but you can change how you FEEL about what’s happening. Rainy day? Cancel plans or make the best!

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true

I am often that person getting pissed off at other people in traffic. I should make a point to think of situations I perceive as “negative” in different, more positive or productive ways, and be more understanding.

I enjoyed my session it made me feel good

I need to not let others control how I feel, I appreciate what she was saying

Interpretation

I cannot change what is happening around me. But, there have been so many times where I have allowed my feelings to change because of what was happening around me. In this Life Coaching session, I have learned that if I change the interpretation of my thoughts about a situation, I can change the way I feel about it. It is my interpretation of my thoughts that I can control. By doing so, I can open myself up to feeling different about what is happening around me. After all, Just because I think something doesn’t make it true! Thank you Cassandra for such a powerful Life Coaching session! Namaste! 🙏🏻❤️😊

I can’t control what happens

I can only control my response How I feel is up to me, not what happens to me

Back to Basica

I realized that I used to look at things from an open perspective, but I’ve recently stopped. I think it contributes to my anxiety & I need to work on having a better mindset

I learned that any situation has a positive side no matter how “negative” it may seem.

I think that I need to practice this more. Just because something seems negative it does not mean it is. We have to make the good out of a not so planned event.

Learned 💗

I learned that it's true that you can't change peoples thoughts or can't change their decisions. Its just life.

First steps

I really need to pay more attention to my thoughts and feelings although I am quite patient it is definitely something to work on.

Control

Just because I think something doesn’t mean it’s true, I have control over my feelings.

Bad

I feel like it was really short and I wanted more but for the part that I did get i liked it

Thoughts & Feelings

I learned that you should not judge a person when he or she is cutting you off or is shifting fast in front of you on the roads. They cut you off to most likely say something personal or is late to an event.

Writing your life story

This is really similar to what I’ve heard from my productivity coach. I am the author of my own experience.

Mindset

It’s not good to be reactive. Think of another point of view. Turn it to be positive.

Thoughts and Feelings

I learned that you shouldn’t be upset about things that are happening around you for example: If your driving and somebody cuts you most of the time you will be angry but what if the person that cut you might need to vist someone.

Day 1

Don’t take everything personal. Beware of my thoughts. Interpret their actions in a better way.

Thoughts and feelings

I learned that the way we see things and interpret them into our mind effects our emotions and feelings.

Ask a friend

I've heard this before, but it reminded me that I should share my feelings more. A trusted friend's opinion can help me consider my thoughts and feelings from a different perspective. Sometimes it's hard to see past your own emotions.

Feeling today

Woke up free sad About life. This help me relax a little bit. You cannot control things that go on around you. So try to not let it get to you

Your Choice

It’s true that how your day goes is dependent on yourself. While you can’t control others or what happens around you, you choose how to react to it.

July 1

I feel pretty good. I woke up later than I wanted but I’ll work on that. Shooting for 10 am

Still says it!😂

Listened to this one long ago! I remember noting back then to someone else that Cassandra does, indeed, use the epithet ”asshole” during the session! 😂 I'm still feeling like I'm waiting on someone outside of myself to get on the ball and help me take the next steps in my life! Today, I await word from one of my lawyer’s assistants who is supposed to be finding out from Social Security just WHY the hell I haven't yet received my disability settlement! I'm missing opportunities to perform work and obtain a new vehicle. While I wait and wait and wait with no official word on what the damned hold up is!

I felt

Empowered the thought i can control my own reactions and feelings to the world around me

I felt

Empowered the thought i can control my own reactions and feelings to the world around me

Thoughts and feelings 1

I ceased to relax and take in message. Also felt blamed for feelings. Thoughts that feelings were bad occurred to me.

Thoughts and feelings part 1

I got a better understanding on the importance on how we react to things. And how we as people even when something happens that we don't like that we need to take a moment and consider how to handle ourselves when something occurs. I need to work on this by controlling myself to be more contained and not react or say on impulse and think before handling things. Because it is our reaction that is important.

He who feels it may NOT know it

A good intention for the day, to look with and observant eye at my feelings when they arise- are they just my first reaction? How do I want to steer that feeling to make a better day, a better world, and a better me. Namaste

THOUGHTS

I LEARNED THAT EVERYTHING I THINK MAY NOT BE TRUE. PRACTICE BEING LESS REACTIVE AND MORE OBSERVANT

Child mind or Adult

When I’m usually upset, frustrated or peeved off about something and I’m able to pause and use this practice I feel like a bit of a spoilt child. Rather than blame myself I acknowledge this and ask myself how would my wise adult mind view this situation and how I feel . It calms me, settles my emotions and my self talk is constructive and helpful. Grateful for the awareness I proceed in a far more relaxed and positive way

Defeated

I’ve been feeling extremely defeated lately things haven’t been going the way I’ve wanted them to and I want to break down. I feel like I’m holding in a lot of emotions. I feel like the world isn’t fair and I’m feeling all this pain and I don’t know why I deserve it. I just want it all to go away 😞

My perception

This session was helpful today. I’ve been battling with issues of how I process and perceive what I can’t control.

Reset my thinking in stressful situations.

Only control your thoughts and reactions To stressful situations.

First session

Nothing I’m still tired. I learned to stay calm and think positive.

12072019

How I feel is not what happens around me. Remember, that Kri. 😊

Nice reminder

That feelings are interpretations and reactions and I can choose to respond to circumstances differently.

Knew this...

Feeling like I could help others, just like this app. I already know you cannot control people, places or things. And that MOST incidents and or interactions are NOT personal. I’m not that important! 😆

What you think, isn’t always true.

Your mindset effects what you believe in. What you think, isn’t always true.

People are focused on their stuff

It is easy to get caught up in how you think someone is perceiving you but they are often simply focusing on their own thoughts and challenges. If we remove the though malicious intent from our perception of others actions, we may feel less judged and more compassionate.

Anxious

Learned that what happens in life is what you allow. The way things are perceived isn’t necessarily the way things are or have to be. If I change my way of thinking, I can change the outcome of certain things that come my way.

Thoughts and feelings...

Mindset is key! I again reinforced yhe belief that just because i think something doesn’t mean its true. Hard to do! To be so aware of my thoughts b4 i let them run away and get ahead of me leading to unwanted behaviors..No shade to myself as I am a work in progress so when i do remember this it leafs to less drama and chaos and increases peaceful feelings inside ❤️🥰🙏🏾

Mindset

Nothing. I feel the same. Just music playing in the background.

Mood vs thoughts

I noticed how my body felt lighter and happiee just by the thought of being able to influence my own mood so much. Feeling good by the thought that I can actually start affecting my mood by such simple steps as to shift the way I think in negative situations. I noticed that I truly have started to think less positive, and kinda let the negative take over more. But I think it's time to start seeing the positives of life again😊

Thought control

I need to teach myself how to control the way I think or react to negative situations. I will make a conscious effort to control the way I think and interpret things. I will also think of ways to positively help prevent the negative reactions.

Less room, more space.

I learned that after the rocks, pebbles, sand, the jar was not yet full. You could still add water into the even smaller space. The water could symbolize feelings, & then there could be room for air, that would symbolize negative feelings. The end?

thoughts + feelings

i worry too much about everything and i really need to take a step back and relax and focus on what i can control

Before & After

Before: my mom got onto me about something & it made me upset. After: i’m ready to go do what she told me & i feel not as upset.

Day 1

I CANNOT change people which means I need to accept and change myself. I need to change my perspective to make myself feel worthy and not less of anything.

Thoughts and feelings

I can’t control others only my response to them. I need to respond not react. When I react poorly I need to apologize.

Feeling better

I have learned to take negative thoughts and change them to more positive thoughts. I have even learned to transform the positive thoughts into mini prayers

Too not overthink situations. Think positive about things that’s usually negativ

July 20 Life Coach

I learned that it’s beneficial to your mental health and well being to think on and interpret situations differently instead of immediately thinking “ just my luck” or have “the world is against me attitude”.

I learned that just because you think something, that doesn’t mean it’s true.

Today I reconnected relationships with friends who were always there for me since the beginning.

If I’m honest and constantly being self aware, and catching myself in the moment. I can overcome my BPD. My depression. I still have so much fight left in me.

Life is challenge that I will win

Change what I think change my day

Kijk eens anders tegen situaties aan.

Don’t let my thoughts control me

don’t let your surroundings or situations dictate how you feel

That if we think positive we will feel positive.

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it true

I need to focus on the positives of a situation and realise I cannot control it.

It calmed me

I learned that not everyone is as who we think they are or what they are doing.

If something goes wrong, there is always a good side.

Positivity!

You can’t change what happens around you, but you can change how you react to it and how you think about it. Instead of looking at the world with negativity, try changing your negative thoughts into positive ones. For example, “I’m so bad at this!” to “I can get better that this!” Change your negative thoughts into positive ones by rearranging or replacing the words. It may seem difficult at first, but eventually, you won’t even have to change any of your thoughts because you’ll start automatically thinking positively without even realizing it!

Can’t control what happens, you can only control how you feel.

Confusion

I learned that no matter what the outside movement is around me, wether it be raining outside forcing me to have to cancel plans, it’s how I perceive that change. So instead of worrying about missed plans, maybe it’d be a great time to catch up on some reading or a movie with my family.

It’s all about letting go

Very positive

I learned the importance of preserving a positive perspective

What I feel should not be based on my surroundings 😊

Felt relaxed and enlighted.

So awesome

So amazing

Our mind is the priority. We always must think positive!

The way you feel has a big impact on your actual day.

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true. Monitor interpretation

Very peaceful

To be more aware of my thoughts

Very nice and provoking

PERSPECTIVE

I learned that perspective play a lot on my emotions and I should think positively FIRST

I learned that what you feel inside is not always what is happening

My thoughts don’t create my reality

Just because I think something is true, don’t mean it actually is true

Fighting

I find that I'm constantly battling my thoughts. Typically I'm quite negative and fatalistic in my thinking. I cover it up well enough in real life, but those who know me best recognize it for what it is. My wife, who has been having to live with it for more than twenty years now, teases me constantly about being such a pessimist. Thankfully, she's quite the opposite of me. A natural optimist to counter my natural predilection to pessimism.

What I Learned

I learned that i tend to go right to worst case scenario and that i can make hasty decisions too quickly. Sometimes i just need to take a step back, breathe, observe, and figure out how i can approach things more logically. This won’t be my life forever and i will get past this, just like any other day. I need to take the whole situation, break it down and solve it step by step until it’s figured out. If i don’t go through it and put it off, i tend to be more anxious in the long run.

Anxiety

I was anxious and yet depressed at same time over my results from My interview.

Shit happens

I learned that shit happens and it’s your reaction or inaction that makes the difference. Shit happens teaches patience. I’m inpatient to learn patience

Mindset

I felt very reactionary prior to listening to this, now I feel refreshed on having a completely different mindset. Can’t wait to go practice this.

POV

Not everything is what it seems. It’s how you interpret events and/or actions.

Thoughts and feelings

I learned that the way I feel is not a representation of what is happening around me. I’ve learned to breathe in positivity and exhale negativity. It’s so easy for me to be consumed with worry and anxiety. Deep down, I know all will be well, it’s just my spirit is down right now and my heart is in pain. I just need some time to really breathe and let go.

Compassionate love

I need to show compassion and not react to the actions of others.

I can change the way I feel about something by changing how I react to it

I create my own feelings. They are not created by others actions around me.

First time use

I didn’t learn anything but I remembered I knew this already and forgot it several years ago.

Positivity in all circumstances. Always something to be grateful for

Always something to be grateful for . Be happy in the moment

My perspective is my reality.

Feeling and Thoughts

I learned that controlling my thoughts and feelings like when I hear sirens 🚨 or someone jumps in front I get scared I say to myself you’re fine God is here with me and he’s not going let anything happen to me he’s here to protect me .

How I can be a better person

Good

To not curse during meditation

Idk

I’m not sure how I’m going to feel for the rest of my life. I listened to this and agree that it’s how you look at things that matters. I’m having a lot of trouble looking at things from a positive growth mindset lately. Maybe I should reread the book.

I should interpret situations from a different perspective than focusing on mine.

Think

I learned that our feelings don’t depend on what happened during our day, but they depend on what we think about a situation that we have thought as stressful, hard, depressive before.

Keep a positive mindset.. and you’ll see things aren’t as bad as you feel they are.

What and how you are feeling is within your control

I learned to not always blame other people

Love this one. Definitely something I need to work on... your surroundings do not have to dictate your feelings/thoughts; those are entirely up to you.

Change

When I first heard Cassandra, my “interpretation” was: “Oh My God, her voice is incredibly annoying (like fingernails on a blackboard)! I was Wrong! LISTEN to what she says and not her “tonal” qualities. I am content that my heart has opened. ❤️🙏😢

Your surroundings do play a major role in how you react.

Everything is about perspective. In order to manage how you feel (especially when it comes to negative feelings) thinking about things in a different way, in a more positive way, can help you give rise to more positive feelings. Even though things happening around you can be really frustrating at times, remembering that although you can’t control what happens around you but you can control how you react/respond can help alleviate the stress and frustration you may be feeling.

Thoughts are powerful

Just because you think something, doesn’t mean it’s true

It’s not the way you react, but you can change how you react to the things in your life

Control

You can control how feel by how you choose to interpret the situation

Be cognizant of what I’m thinking and feeling

Learning a positive mindset

Change your perspective

I've too been guilty of always blaming outside factors for my moods or my thoughts/feelings. Took me a bit, but once you can change your perspective, you start to realize your thoughts are merely subjective and varied. They are not facts, just simply your very own personalized thoughts. Change your thoughts! I believe empathy is huge here as well, since understanding from another view means you understand another person's emotions. This practice has helped me a lot, though im still subject to my previous conditioning.

I think it really helped me. There are many times in my life were it is a rainy day and I look at it negatively. But, I think now I can wake on a rainy day, and look and it from a Different way. A more positive way!

This one nailed it for me!

I can decide how to think about what is happening outside of my control

Try to not interpret things that may not be true.

A lot

Let it go

To try to look at things another way. In a more positive way.

Mindset

I struggle with this. Seasonal effects get me. Winter time often sets me up for depression. I have bipolar disorder and the grey gets to me sometimes. If I change how I think about it, I might be able to alleviate some of the winter symptoms. Equally the spring effects me too. I get hypomanic though. I want to stay awake. Be outside. Run everywhere. It’s a struggle. Mindful thinking helps and I need to remember to be aware of my thoughts.

This really helped me understand the importance of framing my experiences and things that happen to me in a more positive light.

Just because you think something doesn’t make it true. You control your own emotions.

I think this way most of the time, except when I am in a rush!

Don’t judge a book by its Cover

Reset yourself

Synergy inside outside

The thoughts nourish the feelings. The are influenced from outside. It is a very hard challenge to separate inside from outside.

Good to hear this again.

My thoughts matter not my surroundings

The way we approach situations determines how we feel

How I feel is determined by how I interpret things that happen.

That feelings are not facts

Perspective

We cannot control outside circumstances. However we can change the way our mind processes outside circumstances.

Perception

Having a more positive outlook will always help. Rainy days don’t have to impact us in a negative way, someone cutting us in traffic doesn’t have to anger us for the rest of the day..

Feelings

I am mainly a feelings person, this makes me upset and always wondering why other are not considerate of how other people take things. This has a positive effect on me to think positively instead of negative about other people’s decisions when I believe they are wrong. May our minds be awakened!

Bringing awareness to the forefront

Today I reviewed how my thoughts affect my reality and revisited the idea of changing my interpretation to what’s happening around me. This isn’t a new idea but one that I forget when I feel wronged by an individual. I’m great at this with strangers and daily life moments, but not so great at this when dealing with people I am deeply connected to. Appreciate the reminder!

09-02-19

I learned that things happen for a reason. Things might upset you but you always have to remember there’s a good reason to why that certain thing is happening

09-02-19

No matter what we do , we can’t control other people. it’s not actually what happens around us but how things encounter.

being mindful of others

The way we react to certain situations around us has a direct reflection of our perspective on how we view what happens around us. I have learned to step back and look at situations at a different perspective, not every action deserves a reaction.

Being Mindful of Others

that taking an inward look at myself, has allowed me to look at situations with an open. heart and mind, allowing me to see things from another viewpoint. This practice has changed my life and I am forever grateful for the amazing instructors @ Doral Energy Yoga for challenging me to work through new asanas. In which has enabled me to look at prior situations with a totally different perspective

Jag behöver öva på att vara medveten om mina tankar och att externa faktorer inte har med mig att gö

Försök att tänka positivt istället för att se det negativa Jag behöver ta kontroll över mitt liv och mina tankar

Thoughts

Your emotions don’t have to be reactive; what happens around us shouldn’t necessarily control how we feel.

This app is awesome

This app really helps you calm down if you’re stressed, angry, or just nervous. It helps you every time. I love this app.

Powerful

This session really took me out of my sad mood. Such a small shift and so powerful. Thanks.

Good reminder

This is so true but we often forget it. I know I tend to react to things instead of taking a few seconds to think and respond. Remembering to do this can change the whole way your day goes.

Overcoming chronic anxiety a day, sometimes a moment at a time with each breathe I take in.

Anxiety is actually a feeling or state of fight or flight that my body needs to have and feel!

Thoughts are not always true

A good intention for the day. To question the absolute truth of that first thought. If it may not be true, maybe I need to take the time to think it through further. Namaste

Thoughts & Feelings

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true.....

Staying in control

I learnt that it’s important to realise that it’s your thoughts and feelings that influence the environment around you and stay positive in what could be seen as negative situations.

Today is my 44th birthday.

I realized that I have been so lucky and blessed with wonderful people around me but I selfishly have never paid attention back to them since around 2013. My business started going off very well but became so busy that I stopped meditation around that time. I tried to be competitive, having a very wrong ideas that my mere successes benefits people around me, not realizing that I started hurting and ignoring them and gradually I was in chronic anger, I didn’t notice at all. Every loved one left. Just being there, supportive, patient for them , spending time with them are the things I should have tried.

Thoughts and feelings

Perception of the world and yourself is really key to controlling your own happiness

Yes,

This is a really short reflection of my life. I do not know how much I have to write down.

Being honest

I’m learning that a lot these teachings require daily practice for them to become a habit and it’s really difficult cause life right now is showing me flames.

Law of Attraction

I needed this reminder. Positive thinking and a good attitude will attract more positive things in my life. I’m going thru a really rough breakup from a 7 year relationship and it’s the most difficult time in my life, 38 years old... but I have to know This is for a reason that will positively change my better for the better if I accept it and embrace it, as paradoxical as that sounds,

Enough is Enough

I’m currently dealing with this issue at work where someone acts a certain way towards me & I immediately sad or defeated. As much as this is said, it’s true that not everyone is going to be your best friend. You can’t control how other people act or feel but you can control yourself.

My moods

I’m just perfect yeeeee I liked the meditation Jfififififififif Ufifififififififitirifivkgifit digitized

Feelings

I feel as though we all let our emotions over come us through the slightest move.

You can control how you react

Taking control of emotions before they control you. It’s all about perspective. It’s about what you do with what happens to you that counts. So many pithy sayings come to mind like “Let go of the things you cannot control and focus on the things you can” The challenge here is how do you best manage your emotions.

Thoughts and Feelings

I learned that even though I can’t control the things happening around me, I can control my reaction and interpretation to those things, which in return will leave me with a healthier and happier mindset. This resonated deeply with me. I actually say this often but it was a good reminder. Recently I’ve been blaming my coworkers, supervisors, and work for my sour attitude, when in reality I just need to change my thoughts and not allow things I can’t control to control me.

Thoughts and feelings

Don’t get upset or sad at things you can’t control. Try and think of the situation in another way.

Be patient

I learned take in consideration what someone might be doing in a rush

Found that I’m not pregnant when I was sure I was, I feel disappointed mostly.

I can’t control what happens inside my uterus but I can control my thoughts about this situation

Think

Think before reaction, something I tend to struggle with quite often.

Remember

Just because I think something does not mean it is true. I am in control of my reaction.

Don’t worry about everything.

I learned that i need to relax and not get so worked up about everything. I know I am a very sensitive person and I need to control it and learn that it’s ok. You are fine.

Stressed session

I felt good to stretch! I usually,no always forget to stretch before starting my day!

I learned

I learned that not everything has to be bad. I learned there’s always some bright side.

Perspective

Just because I think something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Instead of letting my instinctive negative thoughts create negative feelings, I can try to look at a situation from a different perspective. I can only control myself and my reactions to things.

Patientce is inside me)

To keep calm whever there is a traffic or chaos next to me.. Some irritations should be extracted

Anxious

I let my feelings control what I feel and what I perceive others fell even though it most likely isn’t that way.

Interpretation

I will try to be more mindful of how I'm interpreting situations.

Thoughts and feelings

I learned about positive attitudes and enjoyed listening to this.

This will help for future obstacles & reacting differently

Changing my thoughts will change my feelings. Wonderful reminder for when I’m faced with an unpleased situation or thought

Feelings

That I have to be more in tune with what’s going on around me, and others feelings at that time

Be proactive not reactive

More empathy and less reactive I need to apply this By finding a way to not react out of emotion. I think I used to ask myself is this a logical response or an emotional response and that helped but I forget in the heat of the moment. Lol. I will try to remember more

I love this

I learned that I cannot think of all of the bad things I have to think of it from a different point of view and have a positive attitude.

Connection

I can cry when meditating, I feel emotion wash over me. I am experiencing a total breakdown of my business that is less than a year old. I am searching for meaning and the life lessons I need to experience while here. I am struggling to stay in the moment. I have been gifted with unending compassion for others, however I absorb much of the pain and anguish of others. Now I feel responsible for much of the pain they are going through. This is too much for me to carry alone. I know that, I worked in mental heath for at least 17 years, and many of those years were working with people In crisis, now I am finding myself in the same place.

I felt .....

I felt better especially cause tomorrow I have a big test that I didn’t study for and now it’s 3 am so I don’t have time but at least I’ll get the test over with

Rain

I learned that we cannot control the things around us as much as we wish we could, but we can absolutely change how we choose to think about what happens around us. This will allow us to change how we feel.

Sad

I’m sad as shit, I just want to be genuinely happy and be able to let go of all the negative thinking

Mindset

I am reminded that what is happening around me doesn’t control my feelings.

I can do this

What happens around me is out of my control. I need to say this 100 times a day, I can do this!

morning after

i learned that i cannot care so much about what goes on around me. almost all of my daily thoughts and emotions are provoked by the actions of other people, but focusing on myself will greatly increase my happiness i now realize.

Controlling...

I can not control what others say or do. I can only control what I say or do... if I think about it first. Otherwise, I am just re-acting to them. So I should/need to pause after someone says or does something before I say or do anything. In this way I can truly speak & act independently instead of dependently re-acting to them. Big difference... Huge!! ❤️🤐🍀

What’s I Really Have Control Over

I learned that I cannot change the way that other people think and behave. I can only change how I react to my situations as they are presented to me.

Sorry, Newton! Every action doesn’t have to have an equal and opposite reaction!

The only thing within your control is your attitude. Oftentimes we react negatively to life, but the choice is yours to realize your thoughts are independent of what is happening around you.

Wow

This helped me believe that it’s just me thinking this and I should look on the positive Side even if I’m feel bad emotions and think about those other people who might be having a worse day than me

Reflections

There is no way I am able to control people nor what happens but I can definitely control my thoughts, emotions and my reactions to what happens and/or my interactions with people. I need to learn to let it go and to really enjoy and/or learn from what I go through in life.

Assumption

I cannot assume things, I cannot let my feelings in my head control my heart.

Taking control of emotions

I learnt that I can make myself feel better if I allow myself to think positively about situations.

Panic and coming down to earth

When I am in a moment of panic and I take the time to sit down and slow down and come back to earth, it will make me feel a lot better.

Thoughts

I’m working on this and trying to do it consistently! It is a challenge, but I’m hoping meditating is going to help me with this.

Powerful

This was a great excerpt on feelings and emotions. We get to control our reactions and perspective.

Think positive = feel positive

I felt that this opened my mind up a little more to my thoughts and feelings about things and how I perceive things. Think positive and you’ll feel positive.

Don’t let your emotions control you

You can’t change people and/or their behavior or even the circumstances that you are facing right now; but you can control how these things affect you -allow your POV to shift. “Just because you think/feel one thing, doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Think positive

I learn that it good to think positive in any situation that you find yourself in.

Think

I learned that if I think positive I will feel more positive!

Thoughts and feelings

I can't control how other's are feeling and acting, but I can control how I react to that particular situation

Learning to be better to myself

I learned that the way Ifeel in situations is more about my choice in how to feel, and less about how the universe feels about me.

It’s all in the mind

A professor taught us in HS that there’s a mathematical (yet very simple) way to look at every situation, so we can better assess if we’re doing the right thing or not. It goes: Event + Action/Reaction = Outcome. He then cautioned us that the constant in this equation is that we can NEVER control any event or scenario that is happening around us. But what we CAN control, however, in order to achieve a good outcome, is our action/reaction to that event. This is a good addition to that scheme, because it clearly states that a good action/reaction stems from having clear and perceptive thoughts. It most certainly is hard to implement, but like everything else, it takes practice. Besides, every event is a learning opportunity. Thank you. Namaste

You can’t change what happens around you, but you can Change how you react and think about what happ

You can’t change what happens around you, but you CAN change how you react and think about what happens around you. For example, you can’t help if your coworker is in a bad mood. But you can change how you react towards them. One way to interpret this is by reacting to them with brutalness. “You’re never happy! Why can’t you just be happy for one day. Why can’t you just keep this all inside of you so it doesn’t ruin other people’s days.” OR you can choose to react with kindness. “Hey friend, how are you doing today? What’s got you in a bad mood? Is there anything you’d like to talk about? Is there anything I can do help you get out of this bad mood?”. It’s all up to you. Your life is in YOUR hands, not others hands. You choose the way you want to go about life. That being said, now to relate it to my own life; I need to take my life into my own hands. I’m tired of letting other people’s bad moods dictate my mood.

First

I was stressed but now I feel better I think that maybe this is a good idea

Thoughts

Just Bc I think something doesn’t mean it’s true! I had horrible anxiety last night couldn’t sleep and my thoughts were making it worse. Need to change that mindset

See and interpreted thing differently

To change my outlook Have a positive attitude Don’t react

I felt that I could relate

I learned that it will help me to ask myself more consistently is there another way to see what’s happening right now

Personal Thoughts

I learned that instead of jumping to conclusions when things seem negative is not a good thing. I learned instead it’s best to not assume the worst but Instead other possibilities.

Positive Thinking

Interpret your feelings positively, changing your mindset for the better.

Taking Control

I can control how I feel and how I think. I can control my experiences. I can control me. I can control.

Second day on Aura

I listened to my daily lecture and I learned about: I have to think about stuff differently. But I don’t think that it will help me with what I’m sad about.

Mindset

I had done a great job of looking at the COVID situation as a chance to really slow down. Today I realized that even though I had reached out to talk to my best friends over the last month the conversations were different or didnt happen at all. My oldest son and his family on the other hand have been amazing. I'm worried about Tammy and what is going on with her emotionally and mentally. Hopefully it will improve as we get through this.

Me

I learned that I am in control of how I feel not the things that happen around me

Thoughts

Thoughts are so powerful. A great reminder that I am in control of my thoughts, and therefore my emotions. “Even though you think something doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Turn the bad into good

Life is a big turn of unexpected events. I need to not focus on the bad that happens but the good that comes from it.

Choice

This is a good reminder that how we feel when something happens is a choice. I’ve been working on this lately and this was a good reinforcement. Choice is liberating.

Feelings

This reminded me that all of reactions cause feelings. Trying to look at the positive always can help with keeping a more positive lifestyle.

I felt a sadness . Maybe becoz of what situation i am right now, maybe i not prepared enough for thi

So learned in every single day of our life is precious ,timeless and i had to treasured it for every moment . Even its hard for to accept the truth i insist ! 😢😢

I feel acknowledged.

I learned that what I think doesn’t have to mean what I feel

First use

I need to reassess my my feelings and not blame everything on my surroundings

First Time I Used This App

i learned that this apps really help us if we've some problems . this apps really made me feel better than before . i really hope i can go through all of this problem . i'm really sorry if my English messed up and looked terrible . love from Malaysia ❤❤❤

thinner

i didn’t realize how much i let what happens to me effect me. while i figure out my mental life it is time to put renewed effort into organizing if i can. i’m pulling myself in too many directions. i set my expectations of where i should be by no i want to spend christmas with ted so i can enjoy being appreciated and feel skinny and cozy.

A Solid Reminder

I was reminded that it is enough to have control over my own mind and actions. As challenging as it can be to only take responsibility of those, it is also quite empowering to just observe those things that aren’t mine to own.

Not a good day

Everything you think or feel is not true all the time actually

Appreciative

I learned that you cant control everything , you can only control what is within your reach.

Positivity

You don’t know what’s going on with other people’s lives, and you should try to be more understanding. You should try to flip a bad situation into a positive one.

Control my thoughts

DO NOT jump to conclusions. Instead of Letting outside scenarios, opinions and actions affect my feelings, observe with an open mind. Don’t create false reality. Look with positivity and gratitude. I.e when I argue allow myself to understand their way of thinking and their current situations. When things do t go my way, don’t quit. Alternate.

I felt like I kind of was avoiding the hurt that was coming through me, I wasn’t feeling it

I learned that whatever comes through my mind, don’t look at it in a negative way. Have positive happy thoughts.

I currently feel like I don't belong.

I'm not a very good person and sometimes I feel like things would be better off without me.

Right now life is a struggle and I'm having a hard time.

People can manage without me as a part of the equation. I need help.

Mind is a Ruler

Always keep your mind healthy because what your thought will reflect your actions. I always practice this kind of stuff; I am hoping soon I became fully disciplined about my words and actions.

Just because you think something doesn’t mean that it’s true

Pause when you create a story about something that happens. If you are feeling bad about it, look for a kinder, more generous way to describe the situation. Change the thought and the story you tell yourself to change the way you feel. I want to look for more light and love and less blame, guilt, or anger.

You are what you choose to think

My life experiences are created by my thoughts. Period. Full stop. Choose good ones!

The more I calm

Down and listen the better my life becomes. I try to put myself in others shoes before I jump to conclusions. I’m not always correct but it helps me try to see more clearly.

Mood

I learned that I am in control of my moods and emotions and to think differently when negative things happen! Think about what things I can eliminate from my life to reduce negativity

This is my favorite one

So much has happened in my life that's if I don't take on this view, ill fail as a person. this meditation is a reminder that I can have control of my life again. I want to watch a Ted talk and maybe read a book that is similar to this topic. I was once told that your thoughts affect the chemistry of your brain.Why do I feel so stressed out every day? My trauma isn't behind me but the worst is over. When I'm really hurting I tend to look outwards to fix things because I feel like I can't fix things from within. In times like these, I resort to caring about material things, so I actually like when I want something and know I'm not going to get it for a long time, because it helps me realize that the best thing I can change is myself...my attitude, my Appreciation for those around me and gratefulness that the worst is over.

Change your thoughts to +

Change the interpretation of your mindset. Ex. Chris texted me today. Its bringing back anger emotions. (Negative) Maybe her was feeling overwhelmed and he just needed me to keep him grounded (positive). Ex. Everyone is texting me about the room. My landlord will find out. (Neg) Everyone is texing me. This will help me filter out the good roommate out of the bunch

Stressed

I learned that l Just be Myself and be aware of my thoughts

Affirmed

Have always lived in a state of cause not effect. It keeps me chill.

Enlightened

I learned that I do not need to seek the approval of others to experience my own feelings.

A different way of thinking

To enjoy a calmer happier life...i should not let the little things get under my skin. I will learn to change the way I think about the occurrences around me. Instead of being quick to fly of the handle and get angry or upset. I will take a moment to think about the situation differently. Another great tool in my mission to simplify my life. 🤩

So true!

I’ve lived a lifetime of reactive behavior due to past traumas and the resonating feelings from this lesson are tremendous. It’s a struggle everyday to maintain the focus on the present and the positive. This is as a very helpful lesson to keep in the forefront of daily life.

Alternative thoughts

Inspection of my thoughts allow time to take on a different perspective and just that quick the feeling subside and return back to focus on myself

It’s not all about me

Often times others are dealing with life’s obstacles and we don’t even know it. Their actions towards us are often unintended.

Feelings

I do this at times make the best out of diverging that goes wrong but at times you just can’t help have it ruin you moment of day

Peace

I felt at peace in this moment to be able to step back from our own usual consciousness

Think before you act

This would be something I tend to forget and recent had a slip up on. Look at the ball of emotion you feel and evaluate if it’s truly how you feel. Understand yourself with patience and intent. Stop the cycle! 😌

Changing our thoughts

In order to not worry so much about others I need to change my thinking

Thoughts and Feelings

Always keep a positive perspective. Try not to make perspective false hope

Thoughts and feelings part 1

I learned that it’s how I perceive and react to situations that truly matters. I should be in control and not allow another to upset me or ruin my mood or outlook.

We can decide what you feel

We can easily forget about that feeling is a choice. Actually feeling come from not outside but inside of ourselves so we can choose.

Feelings and thoughts

I learned that sometimes we let our own interpretations of the world influence our feelings and that sometimes we just need to look from another perspective.

Refocus

I learned that I need to take sometime and refocus my thoughts when something happens instead of going with the first thought that comes to mind because normally the first thought that comes to mind is not the one that going to bring clarity to the situation.

Refocus

Need to refocus my attention to myself and not worry about everyone around me

Day 1

I learned that I can’t let things out of my control be responsible for the cause of my actions. I have to sometimes let it go, think of another perspective as to why that situation or problem occurred. Move forward. I don’t know everyone’s story of what they are going through or feeling until I ask or they share I should never assume.

External controls

It’s how a react or view the day that affects me not the other way around

Refocus

I have to remember that things outside of my control are just that. And that I can’t let things that I don’t have control over have an effect on my mindset

I can control how I feel about something by putting a positive spin on things, by always looking for the positive or the lesson and the value

I can view things differently and gain value by shifting my thoughts from what normally could be a negative around into a positive i wasn’t expecting

Power of thoughts

Your interpretation of events will effect your feelings. You have no control over events around you so don’t feel let down by events that could easily be interpreted as negative. You have the power to look at the situation with a positive outlook so it won’t negatively impact your thoughts.

“Just bc you think something doesn’t mean it’s true”

That’s really hard for me to believe when I’m in the moment. Also - how do we balance “looking on the bright side” with unhealthy reframing? I absolutely let my feelings about something determine how I’m going to respond.

I noticed that i have been letting my experiences dictate my emotions.

I am reminded again that I have a choice and it is my responsibility to feel good.

Good

I’ve thought this way all my life n try to teach my kids it but I think they are bullheaded.

Control

I can’t control others but I can control what I think. Have positive understanding thoughts. Chose to do so.

I feel reminded that I can’t let my surrounding or reactions dictate my thought process.

I must remember that my serenity is proportional to my expectations.

Realization

Until I listened to this, I never even would of thought about the positive side. What hit me the hardest was about when some one cuts you off while driving. That action typically makes me mad. I automatically assume he’s just a asshole, and take it personal. I need to think and relax and remember, I don’t know what made him cut me off, but I hope everything is alright and he arrives safely. I have no control Over what others do, so no need to worry about it.

I can control my myself

I learn that whatever I feel around me is not necessarily anyone’s fault but my own. I have the power to control the way that I can think which allows me to feel the way I feel. Why would I choose to be angry because of someone’s else negligence? When I can still be happy.

I’m in control...

I think at times I let everything and everyone influence my mood and reactions. I learned in this short coaching session that I’m always in charge of my thoughts, feelings and reactions. This will be a good area for me to work on! 🙂

Bad thoughts

Just because I think it, doesn’t make it true. No matter what, you’re thoughts aren’t proof, they’re just an idea you create because you’re having a bad minute in your day.

Look within then out

Just because I react a certain way does not mean that is what is truly happening. Look within myself first then react.

What happened yesterday

Just thinking about what I thought about something that happened yesterday changed the way I felt

Thoughts and Feelings

Thank you for this reminder that just because you think something doesn't make it true. That is your reaction

Thoughts & Feelings Part 1

Your thought about a situation influences your feelings which will bring up an emotion. Being mindful of what kind of thoughts you are thinking about a particular situation can bring about positive or negative emotions/feelings. I will try and acknowledge when my thoughts are leading to negative feelings and switch the initial thoughts about the situation.

Sadness

I learned that we choose what to feel regarding a situation that’s happened to us. We don’t have control over the situation, but we can interpret the event in a positive light or as a negative reaction. It may seem like a subtle difference, but when you put the action and effort in putting things into perspective, your feelings are affected in such a different way. Learn how to apply this skill to situations when my emotions may possibly get the best of me…..

Thoughts

Our feelings drive our thoughts. If we can learn to alter our feelings, we can learn to drive our thoughts in a healthier direction.

Sad

I learned that there can be different perspectives I can have on a sad situation that can allow me to find something positive in what feels like a purely sad moment.

Choices

I need to try to break the automatic link into a negative thought process to explain my feelings. There are other ways to interpret my feelings.

Lighter

I learned that my reactions are what dictate the rest of my day and I can just let it be what it is I’ll feel a lot lighter.

Thoughts

I learned that I control my thoughts, which in essence controls my mood.

Notice your thoughts

Just because you think something doesn’t make it true:) I will try to not be reactive by considering this when I see myself reacting negatively.

First Lesson

I learned that it’s important to be aware of my thoughts and reactions to things that happen, as what I think about the situation or event isn’t always reality. I know I assume lots of thoughts and feeling for others, when it’s not always the case. Not everyone thinks like I do!

Pain is my problem and lack of sleep

Not sure I learned anything today. I could not reflect on the examples used because I am home and fighting with pain. Thanks

Fear

Fear is painful, and learning how to process the physical reactions - shortened breaths, and crying - and trying to almost normalise the mental thoughts, is a journey

Resonance

This resonated with me today and somethingI needed to be reminded of. Confirmation was the deep sigh of acknowledgement and release.

Sound of the rain is relaxing.

Great step in the right direction to shift My mind into positive and forward thinking

Think before you react

I learned that outside life doesn’t dictate my inner me. In order to change what is causing me stress I have to first think about why it is causing me stress and if I am interpreting the stress or stimulus accurately. There’s a moment between action and reaction where all the happiness lives

Thoughts/Feelings/Perceptions

I have more power over how I feel than I realized. What I desire— is obtainable! Thoughts, feelings, perceptions—it is me who assigns importance to each of them!

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true.

This is always a good reminder, as sometimes life’s moments can get the better of you. I try each day to reframe my experience, and it is working on the whole

Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true

This is such an important daily reminder. Sometimes life’s moments can get the better of me, and to maintain any kind of positivity it is important that I reframe my experience. Even if the driver who cuts me up has a male intent, it is up to me how I deal with that. I can either react or accept.
