Summary
"Your trials did not come to punish you, but to awaken you." ~ Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic book, Autobiography of a Yogi
If there's one thing you could change about yourself that would improve your life, it is the quality of your thoughts. Moods often get in the way of our most beautiful thoughts. Taming your moods helps you to focus on internal contentment regardless of what's happening in the external world. This is part 1 of a 7-part Taming Bad Moods meditation series, episodes 2187-2193. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Positivity Quest. Every day this week, focus on feeling an inner awareness of contentment, regardless of what's happening in the external world. This Quest will help to retrain your brain to focus on uplifting thoughts.
