• Recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, such as worry or self-criticism.

• Cultivate a sense of freedom from overthinking or rumination.

• Strengthen your ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.

• Develop greater equanimity, realizing that you are not your thoughts.

When to Use It:
