You Don't Have to Respect Your Thinking
Today, we’re excited to share a powerful clip from our Professional Training Retreat. In this video, Linda shares a transformative realization: she didn’t have to engage with every thought that crossed her mind. She discovered that not every thought deserved her attention or respect. This insight opened the door to a quieter, more peaceful mind—a central concept that Sydney Banks often spoke about.
Linda’s insight is something many of us can relate to. We’ve all had moments when our thoughts seem overwhelming or even unhelpful, yet we feel compelled to engage with each one. What Linda realized—and what this video beautifully conveys—is that a quieter mind doesn’t come from managing or controlling thoughts. Instead, it comes from understanding that we don’t have to give weight to every thought that arises.
By allowing thoughts to simply pass, we give ourselves space for clarity and calm. We hope this clip inspires you to consider the role of thought in your own life and how much freedom comes from not taking every thought so seriously.
Watch the video below to hear Linda’s story and reflect on what a quieter mind might mean for you.
