Mental health Quote by Todd Perelmuter
““Whenever you have a negative thought or a complaint or feeling, all you have to do is just notice it. Don’t say, “I don’t like this thing.” Say to yourself, “This mind is resisting this thing.” Because that is a truer statement and that’s how we can use the situation as an opportunity to grow in mindfulness. Instantly you will become aware of unconscious thought patterns as you become the witness to the thoughts and not the thinker of your thoughts.””
