But then, you add your thoughts into the mix, and it should be the sweetest thing of all. Yet-- it's far from that.
Amidst the chaos, you are drowned in negative thoughts, even though you may have had a few good ones along the way. It's always the failure that's sticky, just like that piece of gum on the sidewalk. You step in it, and it's stuck until a lot of peanut butter is used.
Words have power. And those words are even more powerful the more you replay them in your head. The battle of the mind is real. And if you genuinely want to get to the other side of where you are now, you have to change your thoughts.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Change your thoughts!But come on-- it's easier said than done. However, it can be done!
Now, there are CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques. But I want you not to overthink everything. The key is to do it. Change your thoughts.
1. The Mindset Shift Shuffle: Picture yourself dancing away your negative thoughts and replacing them with a vibrant rhythm of positivity. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? That's what the Mindset Shift Shuffle is all about! Whenever you catch yourself immersed in negativity, hit the pause button. Visualize yourself on a dance floor, stepping away from each negative thought and embracing positive ones instead. Spot, Stop, and Swap. You could even groove to your favorite tunes! This technique not only distracts your mind but also infuses the process with a delightful playfulness that transforms changing thought patterns into an enjoyable experience.
2. Gratitude Graffiti: It's no secret that practicing gratitude holds tremendous power in combatting negative thinking. Let's take it up a notch with Gratitude Graffiti! Grab some colorful markers or sticky notes and transform your environment. Write down things you're grateful for in prominent spots around your home or workspace. Be it your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or computer monitor β each time your eyes come across these gratitude messages, pause and reflect on the positive aspects of your life. These visible reminders rewire your brain, shifting your focus to the good and effortlessly breaking the cycle of negative thoughts. Get ready to cultivate a mindset brimming with appreciation and contentment.
3. Connect the Dots: The key here is reframing and reprogramming your thought patterns. Negative thoughts often entwine themselves intricately, making it challenging to break free. But fear not β all you need to do is connect the dots. Start by pinpointing one area of concern, a negative thought. Then, unravel the web of negative thoughts. I would encourage you to write it on a piece of paper to see the whole process in front of you. Be sure to explore every related aspect and delve into the intricacies. Once you have a clear visual representation, identify a positive and empowering statement or comeback that serves as a direct counter to each negative thought or aspect. Memorize them and repeat them whenever negativity resurfaces. Allow these powerful words to overshadow the negativity, gradually rewiring your mindset. Watch as your self-belief soars higher with every repetition.
Remember, altering negative thought patterns requires patience, commitment, and self-kindness. Practice these techniques regularly, letting them become second nature. With the Mindset Shift Shuffle, Gratitude Graffiti, and Connect the Dots by your side, you possess practical and memorable tools to conquer negative thoughts and discover that harmony within yourself. Believe in who you are becoming.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
