The #1 Job Of The Mind | Managing The Inner Critic

Join Todd Schmenk, as he revisits and expands upon an older comparison of the thinking mind and observing mind with a focus on the #1 job of the mind (the #1 Job of the thinking mind that is).   This podcast (based off of video) takes a closer look at the process of how we develop rules, how we can sometimes get stuck in a rigid position with a rule, how these types of rules dictate actions, and how we might find a way to free ourselves from this phenomenon.    Chapters:  0:00 What is the job of the thinking mind?  0:59 Defining the job of the thinking mind  1:35 History of the thinking mind  3:29 Where the thinking mind can go offline  4:12 How to account for this and free yourself  5:19 Simple definition and summary  5:54 Key concept  6:47 Thank the thinking mind    Would you like a more organized way of browsing the topics, worksheets, and support materials found here?  Want more information about this educational project?  and If you REALLY like what I am doing here, want to be part of a smaller community with direct access to me, and which to support the efforts here, take a look here: https://www.patreon.com/toddschmenk to see how to become more involved!     FOLLOW: https://twitter.com/tschmenk LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/beteampositive VIEW US: https://www.instagram.com/beteamposit...   #mindfulness #toddschmenk #howthemindworks
