Let's Chill - EarthBound - Episode 24 - Calm Relaxing Let's Play

Welcome back to Episode 24 of the Let's Chill - EarthBound series, where the goal remains to take just a little time for ourselves to relax, unwind, and maybe go to sleep, while we enjoy a classic RPG experience. Ness and his friends find themselves now in the much less shy Tenda Village and will soon set out for the seventh Sanctuary location, somewhere down below.
In this episode, I talk for a short time about the value of learning to accept the fact that you are not your thoughts. I've probably said as much here and there throughout the series up to this point, as it is most certainly a lesson worth repeating. We have an incredible ability in our gift of thinking, but it is vital that we do not let the brain put us on autopilot.
There are many sources that teach this lesson and have done so for hundreds if not thousands of years, but for my talk in particular, I chose to take most inspiration from a couple of sources - the book, Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn, and various talks from Joseph Goldstein (link below) that are available on UA-cam on the Be Here Now Network channel. I more often than not start my day by listening to one of the various podcast episodes they have available. Perhaps you might like to as well.
Thank you for coming along on the adventure here, as always. We are getting closer to the end of this journey and, while I have already decided where I'm going next for this series, I am open to future suggestions if you think you have a specific game in mind that would fit the vibe here. I will certainly consider your input and I appreciate you letting me know.
Please continue to share this series and this channel with those who you think may benefit from or enjoy it. Your support absolutely makes a difference for a new channel. I will be back with another episode every Monday and Thursday night, so until then, take care, and I'll see you soon.
