It isn’t always sufficient to think happy thoughts.
We can still have major questions and qualms about our abilities.
You’ll be able to notice when you’re contemplating a concept that isn’t true if you’re skilled with your mind.
Frequently, you will be confronted with a self-doubting idea. It happens to anyone.
It’s possible to identify that it’s only a false notion if you take a moment to meditate and tap into your inner wisdom.
Our brain is deceiving us because it values our safety and seeks to keep us from doing things that could put us in harm’s way.
Of course, we’re still in that fight or flight mentality from time to time.
We’re attempting to flee the forest tiger, and our minds aren’t sure what genuine, immediate danger entails versus simply taking a calculated risk to get something more valuable.
I strongly advise you to begin paying attention to your ideas daily.
Take out your journal and jot down any negative thoughts you have.
Then, using a colored pen in a brighter color, write what the truth is just below that.
“I’m too swamped to properly start a business,” for example, is a problematic thought.
“I know I can establish a business if I prioritize the correct activities in my day-to-day life,” I want you to think.
Jot down all of your bad ideas in your journal. Because once you start having these negative thoughts, you’ll find yourself thinking the same bad things over and over again.
Write down your thoughts, ask yourself to be quiet, reflect on the truth, and then replace those thoughts with the truth.
Our brains can be trained to recognize when we’re thinking negative ideas that aren’t true.
This is a fundamental concept in cognitive-behavioral therapy. It’s a psychological technique for rewriting the script in one’s mind.
