I really see now clearly more than ever, that any issues that we have stem from a mindset we're stuck into.
Ever wondered how to silence that relentless, negative voice in your head? In this episode of 'Braving the Journey', host Zach Mathers chats with JF Benoist, founder of The Exclusive Hawaii, a non-12-step holistic addiction treatment center. Benoist, also the author of the bestselling book 'Addicted to the Monkey Mind', shares his wisdom on transforming that pesky inner chatter into a powerful tool for change.
He dives into the concept of the 'monkey mind', a conditioned way of thinking that reacts impulsively to triggers and affects our behavior in ways we often don't realize. Through practical tips and personal anecdotes, Benoist explains how to pause, breathe, and become aware of our emotions. He suggests simple yet effective exercises like listing past achievements to build resilience and self-awareness.
Benoist's approach is all about taking responsibility for our feelings and recognizing that blaming others won't lead to growth. By understanding and quieting the monkey mind, listeners can learn to develop a mindset that fosters long-lasting change and emotional well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking practical advice on managing triggers, improving mental health, and embracing personal growth.
