I bet most of us can relate to having negative thoughts on repeat, whether we’ve actually stopped to think about it or not. Our minds have been conditioned and can get stuck on auto-pilot, making us feel helpless, unhappy, and lost. But just like every other aspect of well-being, we need to exercise our mental patterns to show them positive patterns and avenues for growth and change.
My guest on today’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, Yung Pueblo, is a grounded and inspiring guide for how to spend more time with your thoughts and create new patterns. Diego Perez is a meditator and New York Times bestselling author who is widely known on Instagram and various social media networks through his pen name Yung Pueblo. Online he has an audience of nearly 3 million people. His writing focuses on the power of self-healing, creating healthy relationships, and the wisdom that comes when we truly work on knowing ourselves. His books include Inward, Clarity & Connection, and his most recent, Lighter, which was an instant New York Times bestseller.
