Kirby-Reutter

United States Department of Homeland Security

Key Points

  1. In this video, we learned about the stream of consciousness exercise.
  2. This is how it works. Imagine that your mind is like a river flowing.
  3. Everything happening in your mind is like a leaf or boat floating down this river. This includes any thoughts, feelings, memories, or urges that come into your mind.
  4. Imagine that you are sitting on the bank of this river, just observing each of the leaves as they float by. Your job is simply to notice the leaves.
