Ending Unproductive Mind Talk

Ending unproductive mind talk is being free of a chattering mind. Eric Berne says that when one is humming a song in the mind there is a tune to which he is singing. Similarly it may be said that there is a topic in the mind space that gets us to engage in mind talk. There is only a difference in the level of insanity of persons who chat in their mind and those who speak loudly or even shout about it on the street or in public places. 

Discarding Trash

Discarding Trash is consciously being aware about our many types of dysfunctional behaviours. The significant ones being inability to differentiate person from behaviour, drivers, passive behaviours, thinking disorders, crossed and redefining transactions, competitive symbiotic relating, inability to deal with urges, drives and impulses, moving to unhealthy life positions or roles on not-ok mini-script or roles on drama triangle, or being engaged in any one of the rackety displays mentioned in the script system.
