I listened to a podcast the other day where a teacher referred to a Bob Newhart sketch about addressing our fearful mind. I love Bob Newhart and had never seen this video, but I thought it was worth sharing – for the laugh of course, and also for the bit of insight.
Those familiar with my writing know I focus on edging out our Ego or “small self” voice in favor of following our True Self or our “Expanded Mind” that never dies. I just love the idea of saying “stop it!” to our repetitive, fearful, and useless thoughts. What if today we just didn’t give those thoughts any space in our space? Bob is on to something. Just “stop it”! Make it that easy.
