Thought Stopping

A brief practice to help interrupt repetitive or overwhelming thoughts and create a moment of mental space. Use this whenever you notice your mind caught in a thought loop, and gently redirect your attention back to the present moment.

Transcript

Take a slow inhale. And let it ease out. When the mind brings a thought. That feels heavy or painful. You don't need to argue with it. Just gently say in your mind. Thank you. Not right now. Picture placing the thought on a small leaf. And letting it drift down a stream. Moving at its own slow pace, Not forcing it to go. Just allowing it to pass by. Your attention comes back to your breath. To the body. To this moment. The thought may return. That's okay. Each time. Gently. Thank you. Not right now. Softness. Not force. Presence. Not perfection.
