Become a Thought Hunter

1. Sit still with your eyes closed, and count slowly from 1 to 10. If any thought comes into your mind, immediately go back to 1. Watch for even the smallest thought. Even if you have the thought: “I’m already at number 3”... you need to go back to 1 and start again.

2. This exercise helps us become more aware of our thoughts. The thoughts we are not aware of are the ones that make us feel what we feel. The first step in being able to change our thoughts and redirect where our life is heading is to be aware of those small quiet thoughts.

3. One to two minutes of this exercise is more than enough.
