Without awareness, we cannot change or move forward. To make changes in our thoughts and subsequent communication, we need to be strategic, proactive and deliberate about our thinking. We need to try to be aware of what we are thinking about every day. This is called self-regulation.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-one-mind-management-technique-required-for-sustainable-healingGet my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.
