Get the appGet Your Mind Right Pt.2Намуна
There are a few types of A.N.T.s that we must decide to confront (and remove). “Only the Negative” mindset zooms in only on the negative and is the only option. The “ALWAYS.ONLY. NEVER.” mindset which focuses on the “you always…, you only…, you never…” kind of thoughts, also causes us to swing from extreme to extreme. “Catastrophe” A.N.T.s make us think circumstances are WAY WORSE than they actually are and focuses attention on the hypotheticals that rarely become reality. All three of these A.N.T.s rob us of our balance, our contentment, and make us feel like challenges are insurmountable. There is good news! We can have peace of mind and renewed thinking by employing the 5 questions that help us to interrogate our thoughts.
Questions:
- Which of these patterns do you see on a regular basis?
- Take a moment and identify your default negative thought, then measure it against the 5 questions.
- How did this process change that thought for you? How can you build this practice into your daily rhythm?
