Negative experiences and thoughts…let’s stop them!
Ever go through a shitstorm? Yeah, those are fun and tend to last as long as you keep feeding them. It took my YEARS to understand how undeveloped my coping ability was with my own emotions. Sometimes you’ve got to go through a few (or more) shitstorms to realize your strategy isn’t working.
What you feed grows. If you harbor anger and feed it the thoughts it wants it will grow. If you have something good in your life and think about it often guess what, it will grow. Whatever you think will consume your thoughts and you slowly become it. It’s a interesting concept which is hard to think about when you’re in the dumps of a storm. But let’s try!
To begin my journey of positivity and overcoming difficult situations I overloaded myself with positive quotes on a daily basis. I practiced stepping outside of my thoughts and situation and looked at them as a stranger. When you are no longer looking at things as your own you can get a better grasp on the emotional content.
Wear a reminder. A bracelet, a ring, or necklace that you look at and remember to step outside of the situation. Begin your day with a reminder and end your day with a reminder.
Life, like anything, is work. What you feed grows. Feed the negative and it will multiply. Feed the positive and it will multiply.
What are you going to feed today?
