We often find ourselves stuck in the dungeon of thoughts and beliefs which are limiting, negative, and self-sabotaging. Such thoughts weaken our personality, make us slaves of our negative mind that inturn makes us feel utterly weak, almost void of self-confidence and put us on an “Auto-Pilot” mode in life.
Let’s learn how to break-free of these toxic patterns and give wings to our mind.
- Tackle Negative Thoughts by Yourself
We all need people during traumatic events in life, we all need allies, a shoulder to cry on when we’re going through challenging times. Our allies, family members, friends, partners and even psychologists can counsel us; but it is us who need to do the work and let go of the toxic, limiting thinking patterns. Even mental health professionals can only guide you and counsel you, they cannot enter your mind and chalk out difficult emotions for you, that has to be done by your will-power.
- Believing your positive intuitions
Human mind is naturally subjected to focus more on the negative, this is why it remembers all the negative memories more than the positive ones. It is this tendency of the mind that creates a lot of junk and extra noise in your mind in the form of over-thinking and anxiety, eventually leading to delay in decision making and weakening of cognitive processes of the mind.
However, when you try to identify the “positive intuition” and learn to strengthen it by focusing on it, you come into your natural essence. You enter into your essence, your truest-self by differentiating the noise, ignoring it and believing in that positive voice.
- Do NOT over-judge yourself:
Excess of everything is bad, yes, the age-old saying is still relevant. When you reflect too much on how you behave, it counteracts. If you criticize yourself for feeling anxious, you will end up being more anxious. When you criticize yourself for not being able to retain or grasp things, you definitely will fail to grasp, retain and recall facts.
The problem lies in the fact that negative emotions strengthen their intensity when you judge them since you’re indirectly actually materializing them.
It is about softly negotiating with your mind the way you counsel children, asking them to improve without criticizing them. That is how you tame your mind, and give wings to it.
All the Best 🙂
