Show Notes

Kadam Bridget strongly encourages us to monitor our minds throughout the day as a way to prevent negativity and unhappiness. Our inner voice can often be harsh and discouraging. In this talk, we explore the Buddhist understanding of negative self-talk, learning that such thoughts are temporary—but we increase their harmful impact by holding onto them and identifying with them. Kadam Bridget offers practical techniques to notice and release negativity at an early stage, thereby protecting our peace of mind.
