She doesn't sugar coat it I felt very much like she was speaking directly to me and that she KNEW me. The author guides us through exercises and a logical roadmap and discussion of basic concepts, but she shoots very straight. I want to buy copies of this book for everyone I know because I truly believe almost everyone could benefit from the messages contained here.Īt its most basic, we have the power to be happy by choosing to live in the moment we are in, and choosing to not let our thoughts control us. This wonderful little book is so simple but so truthful-it really resonated with me, right from the very first page! It’s this simplicity that is the secret magic of mindfulness. Simply enjoying a hot cup of tea, noticing your breath, and finding a reason to smile everyday are all ways to detach from your thoughts. This book brings mindfulness back to the basics.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS HOW TO
If you’re looking for a manual on how to do it, this is the one! Mindfulness is so easy it can be done in anyplace at anytime by anyone. Mindfulness doesn’t have to be a complicated ritual or practiced in a yoga studio. Her words of encouragement and explanation of how mindfulness will change your life are needed in a time when most authors make mindfulness sound like an exclusive rite of passage.
Most books tend to brush past the time and patience that learning something new will take, but Frances Trussell makes a point to be honest and upfront about how learning mindfulness is a journey that requires us to unlearn a lot of things. For example, a counting breath meditation is followed by a chapter that discusses the discouragement we can feel when attempting to meditate, which is then followed by a chapter on the breath. Unlike other books on this topic, You Are Not Your Thoughts describes what being mindful really is and how you can achieve it…yes, you! What’s unique about this book is that it is written using simple language and page long chapters that easily flow into the next. You Are Not Your Thoughts by Frances Trussell is a quick and easy guide on mindfulness.
