Creating Mindful Distance of Thoughts… what’s that?
It’s stepping back a little from our thoughts after we start feeling them and allowing ourselves the grace to feel them but also giving ourselves the reassurance that we are safe.
I know, it sounds complicated!
It’s actually about becoming a little bit of an observer of what’s happening inside of us while it’s happening, instead of simply doing the aftermath analysis.
It takes a little practice.
Start by taking some deep breaths when you first start feeling any negative thoughts.
Try to pause your mind from falling down to old rabbit hole of immediately giving into the normal pattern of the downward spiraling thoughts.
When you notice that you are having the negative thoughts, breathe slowly, remind yourself that our minds greatly exaggerate our fears.
Our Amygdala will jump into action, pumping adrenaline into our bodies which makes it REALLY hard to feel positive!
So now when you’re breathing slowly, remind yourself you are safe.
Then speak an encouraging, affirming thought to yourself.
I have written a quite few posts with positive affirmations, so feel free to look through them, write them down, type them into your notes app in your phone to be able to look at them when you need them!
I find that Dr. Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay have many positive quotes which are great to write out and refer to when needed!
