Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
Be present as the watcher of your mind -- of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations. Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react. Notice also how often your attention is in the past or future. Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Don't make a personal problem out of them. You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think it is good to be self-observant of feelings, thoughts and beliefs that stem from the feelings and thoughts. And it is good practice to keep in the present by them and not always have the past and future in the mind.
Though it is good to have judgement and analyze. It is a cognitive function of the brain. The key is to know how, what, and why to judge and analyze.
Combining thoughts, feelings, beliefs, judgements, analyzations are used to process and grow.
And to know that things are not set in stone. That it is good to alter thoughts and judgements as one grows. Its moving from concrete thinking to formal operational thinking.
He is amazing. Thank you for passing along his philosophies. So very true... I hope to be as conscious as he is, one day.
