Mind Resets: Soothing Your Thoughts
Mind resets are quick ways to improve how you feel in minutes when you're feeling overwhelmed. Mind resets target unhelpful thinking patterns and offer strategies to regain perspective. One example is the practice of naming your emotions, observing and describing them to create distance and engage the more reasonable part of your brain. Another technique is singing your thoughts to playfully diffuse irrational or negative thinking patterns. Additionally, making a pie chart of your life helps to gain perspective by visually representing what truly matters, reducing the impact of disappointments and reminding us of the many other important aspects in our lives.
