Taking control of your thoughts and beliefs

It is important to recognize that not every thought you have is true or helpful. Thoughts can come from various sources, even past generations. By questioning your thoughts and beliefs, you can actively challenge negative or automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and replace them with more accurate and positive ones. Practice accurate thinking with a positivity bias, focusing on what is true, good, and worthy of praise.
