This week we bring you a short, hopefully amusing video where Nancy gets vulnerable about how much pleasure she finds in playing Candy Crush.
Okay it’s not really about Candy Crush – but that is where it starts. Rather it’s about what this Candy Crush metaphor teaches us about our brain and how we ought to be mindful about believing every thought the brain thinks.
After all, as Scrooge says to the Ghost of Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”
Our thoughts arise from our biology. That isn’t under our conscious control. However, the nature and quality of our relationship to those thoughts is absolutely under our control. What if we’re suffering needless anxiety around our thoughts when they might simply be a biological result of a bit of undigested beef?
And if we have a challenge in finding a place of peaceful acceptance around a thought? Well, that’s where training in Conscious EFT™ comes in!

Nice metaphor of the relationship we have to different thoughts.
