Thoughts are Not Facts

The way that we think, and our habitual thought patterns can increase our experience of stress and have a negative influence on our performance in our professional and personal life. Thoughts are simply words and images in the mind. However, thoughts are often experienced as truth, and are often associated with pleasant or unpleasant feelings, that typically lead to an action. This program helps participants understand that they can choose to experience thoughts as “merely thoughts” and not ultimate reality through the various mindfulness practices they are learning.
