Half-day retreat ~ How To Stop Overthinking!
How To Stop Overthinking!
Half-day urban retreat with Judi Watson
Every so often, we need to declutter. We usually feel great satisfaction when our kitchen, office, garage or bedroom is clean and tidy. But what about our mind?
Buddha taught that our mind is always moving, flitting from thought to thought without control. These fleeting thoughts might seem harmless, but our unstable attention makes our inner world cluttered and unpeaceful. This makes it almost impossible to live fully in the moment. While we all need to reflect, understand and make decisions, sometimes we can end up overthinking. Our thoughts become circular, repetitive, negative, unclear or stuck. We find it hard to ‘switch off’ which is both exhausting and unproductive.
In this short meditation retreat we will learn certain meditations and ways of thinking derived from Buddha’s teachings that can help us balance our mind, think more clearly and create a sense of calm as we navigate our world with all its stress and stimulation.
By decluttering our mind of repetitive or unwanted thoughts, we will be able to embrace the present wholeheartedly and live a much happier life.
