Your Resonant Self by Sarah Peyton https://www.yourresonantself.com/ copyright 2017, workbook May 2021 Available as an ebook from libraries and as an audiobook, Kindle and hardcover on Amazon. This post will last as long as I am interested and gain benefits from this author. For now, in May 2021, her skilled use of language draws me in and keeps me there.

14 chapters with 14 guided meditations.

Chapter 1: How We Talk to Ourselves (my highlighted notes)

"...if a person is under stress, the brain might start doing one or more of the following:

worrying about things that can't be controlled

remembering tasks and social niceties that have been forgotten

rehashing events

rehearsing and planning future conversations

reviewing obligations

evaluating past performances

running dialogues

going over grudges

criticizing self and others

ruminating

blaming

revisiting shame

"When there is less stress or there has been less trauma in our lives, our brain might spend its energies more neutrally or even pleasantly:

mind wandering

day dreaming

reflecting on memories

considering the future

running mental simulations

speculating on why people do things

thinking creatively."
