Let's start from the beginning: what is a thought? A thought is a concept or an idea built through a compilation of memories.

Forming thoughts is something that we naturally do all day long, and understanding their origins can help better equip us to express them positively. You might feel ashamed for needing support.

I was plagued with a very common problem: not being able to turn off my mind at bedtime. This inability prevented me from falling asleep and thus, getting a restful and restorative night’s sleep.We’ve seen how the things our conscious creative imaginative mind wants for us can be undermined by our subconscious, whose job it is to keep us safe within the realms of our current experience and way of looking at the world through our self-beliefs and habits.
