Angela is joined by life coach and mindset expert, Paul Sheppard, for a look into the concept of mindfulness and the power of present moment awareness, sparked by a compelling question: "What will your next thought be?"

They explore how our minds often time travel to the past or future, leading to unnecessary misery and distraction from the present, and highlight the importance of devaluing negative thoughts and conditioning to create new, empowering beliefs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The question "What will your next thought be?" encourages individuals to focus on the present moment, highlighting that the here and now is the most important moment in our lives. This mindfulness practice can create a pause in the mind, allowing for greater awareness.

• To override conditioned negative thoughts or beliefs, it's essential to devalue them. By recognising and making these thoughts boring or irrelevant, individuals can begin to change their mindset and behaviours, leading to personal growth.

• Many people are conditioned to struggle and may unconsciously choose unhappiness over happiness. Reflecting on why one might prefer to remain unhappy can help identify and devalue limiting beliefs, paving the way for positive change.

• There is a tendency for individuals to become addicted to the hormones associated with stress and anxiety. This can lead to self-sabotaging behaviours when one begins to experience peace and calm, as they may feel uncomfortable without the familiar struggle.

BEST MOMENTS

"One of the biggest sources of our misery is the idea that there's a future moment more important than this one."

"What we resist persists. The more we begin to devalue it and make it boring... it's amazing how quickly we change."

"New information that devalues something that we currently do can stop us doing it altogether."

"I began to self-sabotage and try and get the anxiety back... I was self-sabotaging to try and keep an element of struggle and anxiety in my life."
