Why Do We Have Negative Thoughts?
I was in the middle of a hot and sweaty yoga class last Friday when I noticed my thoughts were becoming overwhelmingly negative: “You can’t do this; This is too hard; I can’t bend my knee any deeper; Ohhh, my shoulder hurts.” And the list goes on. I did the only thing I knew: drop […]
