05. You are Not Your Thoughts
"THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEEING THOUGHTS AS THOUGHTS, VS SEEING YOURSELF defined by the THOUGHTS THEMSELVES, IS akin to DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUNNING UP HILL for the rest of your life, vs putting down a giant weight, and finally, if only for a moment at a time, feeling free. " -atiny book about big feelings
Allow yourself to recognize that you are no more defined by a thought, than you are by indigestion, or by a pain in your foot. They are fleeting, temporary objects, appearing in the space of awareness.
