Henry David Thoreau said, “To make a deep mental path we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” Make a specific plan to change your mind for the better.
To take negative mental habits off autopilot, activate the thinking part of your brain to catch, challenge and override your negative thinking patterns.
If you keep having thoughts or anxiety about an unfinished task, set aside time to complete it when you won’t be interrupted.
When you become aware of your hurtful thinking pattern and its negative effects on you, you can actively and consciously decide to change it.
Decide to become aware of the specific thought pattern that is distressing you. Stop and notice your thoughts. You may notice a particularly persistent thought loop.
Harmful thoughts can easily become habits that stick in your mind. The good news is: you can decide to ease this mental suffering and find more peace of mind.
