“Mindfulness is a perspective of benign curiosity about all of your inner experience.
I cannot overstate the importance of becoming aware of your inner self-commentary.”

Edward Bourne: self-talk;
“It is so automatic and subtle you don’t notice it or the effect it has on your moods and feelings.
It appears in telegraphic form- one short word or image (”Oh no!) contains a whole series of thoughts, memories, or associations.”

My two cents: So much goes on below the surface that impacts the way we feel about ourselves.
How can we be happy with a stream of trauma and unworthiness flowing underground.
Sit quietly, intently focused on the breath, journey inside, soothe the internal hurt you carry.
Relief is available if we take action.
