The Presence Projects presents episode 81 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. Join Paul for a podcast that addresses a question that he's been asked many times and has also explored throughout his own personal journey of Presence and mindfulness.
The title and topic of this episode is “How Can I Stop Thinking So Much in the Present Moment?". In this podcast Paul discusses "thought addiction", a behavior that is pervasive and consuming establishing an ego dominated reality filled with self-inflicted suffering.
Many people want to know how to stop thinking so much but have no idea how to do so. Living with an overabundance of thought has become a normal state of being in the third dimension that makes Presence extremely challenging with each Present moment filled with thoughts of the past or worries of the future. While there is no simple answer due to the sheer subjectivity of life, Paul provides some helpful suggestions how you can slow your thoughts down. He also takes some time to talk about his personal challenges living a thought dominated life and shares a personal reflection about the first time he entered a state of "no thought".
As always, it is advisable to listen to earlier podcasts that discuss other Presence topics and Presence Tools that can be implemented to help shift into the Present Moment.
