A firm foundation to start the journey of deepening our sense of spirituality, using simple insights, tools and affirmations for unhooking from unhelpful thoughts. For those people who have completed the full Never Mind Your Mind course, this will act not only as a refresher to what you've already covered within this course, but as a complement to it. Why? Because there are a few extra tips and tools in this Never Mind Your Mind micro-course that are a different. Either way, if you're interested in this notion of not minding the mind as much, then this is a win-win situation for you.

Lesson 1

There Is My Mind And Here I Am

Those thoughts… It’s not just you! As soon as the day starts, so does the mind going about its job. Let’s set the scene here by exploring an exercise to help us experience looking at our thoughts, instead of from them.

Lesson 2

The Science of Thinking Patterns

Now we need to explore this tendency of us to get caught up in minding, minding our minds. We explore some of the research around the thinking patterns that we have as humans, and how in the modern world today we tend to view things as a problem.

Lesson 3

Stone Age Mind - Modern Mind

Here we explore examples of a typical Stone Age mind years ago, and compare this with our modern minds today. The similarities are interesting, as well as absolutely essential for helping us not mind our minds as much.

Lesson 4

Questions For Perspective

Now we are going to explore some classic questions. Feel free to cherry pick one or two that you feel could help you unhook from your unhelpful thoughts, so as not to mind your mind as much. Perspective taking is so helpful for this.

Lesson 5

The Negative Thought Narrative

It’s not our thoughts that are the problem. It’s the relationship to our thoughts that is the problem. We can now begin to make sense of this by exploring The Negative Thought Narrative. This is something that’s been programmed into us all, in one way or another.

This course has been incredibly helpful for me and I can't wait to start the longer version. I have learned to question my thoughts and to try and find out the message behind this thought. Above all I have learned not to judge myself, but to treat myself with compassion and understanding. And now I try to start each day with a specific intention that helps me to focus more on helpful thoughts. I know I've only just begun and there's still a long way to go, but I'm happy and ready to take it.

Thank you so much Reuben, I appreciate you and the work you do here on Insight Timer. Why is it that we have helpful vs unhelpful thoughts and entrenched thinking patterns. I had another similar experience this morning when I was talking to a family member, and as soon as they had a unhealthy, unhelpful thoughts, I was consuming my energy, of their unhelpful thoughts and then I immediately got up, and started to walk away to my bedroom and I felt “triggered and traumatised”again, and I started to listen to your responses from the previous days 3 and 4, through this macro course, and those “unhelpful” feelings rubbed off and I cleared my head. I am feeling better now. Thank you 🙏🏿 Reuben. See you soon for Day 1 of the full Never Mind Your Mind 12 day course and your live event tomorrow.

As always, I pick up so many helpful tools with Reuben's courses. Easy to understand, bite sized ideas that I can easily try to incorporate into my daily life. I am going to look for the main never Mind Your Mind course now.

I like the simplicity of towards and away. Incrementally, all we need to do is to move in the right direction. Slow and steady wins the race.

My counselor had been telling me to turn off my mind in order to feel more authentically my soul’s presence. After this course, I think I’m better off smiling at my thoughts and telling them to go “take a nap.” 😎
