How the Mind Shapes Your Reality - Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind | Lyssna här

How can you rein in your mind to create the life you want?

Your life follows your state of mind, and the Bhagavad Gita names three of those states: tamas (inertia), rajas (restless activity) and sattva (clarity).

In this episode, we explore the three gunas, an idea that goes back thousands of years and still describes the modern mind remarkably well. We look at why most of us bounce between being stuck and being overdriven, and why the overachiever is often running from the person on the couch in their own shadow. We share a moment in New York when sitting still with a racing mind finally broke its spell. Then we offer practical ways to shift states: one small win to get out of tamas, a deliberate pause to calm rajas, and a gentle way to grow sattva. Join us to learn how to recognize your state of mind so it stops running your life.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why you can't empty the ocean with a spoon: fighting negative thoughts never works, but recognizing the state you're in gives you real freedom.
The hidden link between stuck and driven: tamas and rajas are both tied to the ego, and the super achiever is often running from their own shadow.
Why you can't jump straight to clarity: when you feel stuck, one small, winnable action starts the ball rolling.
What purpose really means in the Gita: action without ego intention, as an expression of your sacred duty, not a career title.
The practice of soft eyes: how compassion toward yourself creates the openness that wisdom grows from.
