š± Day 4: Micro-Habit: Interrupting the āImaginary Conversationā
Have you ever noticed your mind rehearsing a whole conversation that isnāt actually happening?
This practice was shared with me by my beloved yoga teacher and mentor, Laura, during my yoga teacher training. She talked about our stories ā the narratives we carry about who we are (wife, mom, daughter, employee, boss, etc.) ā and how they quietly run in the background of our minds. Itās one of my favorite ways to come back to my body and my breath when my mind starts racing ahead.
So todayās micro-habit is about interrupting the imaginary conversation.
You might notice it when youāre mentally rehearsing and hear yourself:
- explaining yourself
- defending a choice
- bracing for someoneās reaction
When you catch yourself doing that, gently say to yourself:
āThis is an imaginary conversation."
āThis isnāt happening in the here and now.ā
Thatās it.
No fixing. No arguing with your thoughts. Just a soft reminder that youāre here, now ā not in a future moment that hasnāt happened yet.
Try it a few times this week and notice how it feels to return to the present. šæ
