Thought Ruts: Change your Habits about People

There’s a lot of thought patterns we activate when we interact with others. Here’s a take on cognitive errors mixed with some of the mental habits we try to cultivate through yoga– and mindfulness in general.

If you’re interested in the cognitive-behavioral approach, the best source is Feeling Good by David Burns.  I’ve had for awhile a photocopy from a  book by Matthew McKay called Thoughts and Feelings: The Art of Cognitive Stress Intervention.  And of course these approaches to mindfulness are well-expressed in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Full Catastrophe Living.
