Negative thoughts can be with us for many many years. They could have come to us from things that happened in childhood, different beliefs from parents, from external authority figures that as a younger person you might have deemed to be completely true. But they might not necessarily make you feel very good.
These have created thought patterns. Often dominant, negative thought patterns that can play over and over again. So what this technique is teaching you to do is to stop those ways of thinking.
Use this. Use your word for as long as you can. I've been using it for years and I still use it to this very day. It is extremely handy and it has allowed me to have so many things that weren't benefitting me, just fall away from my life. It's like taking off an old jacket that you just didn't want to be wearing in the first place.
Awareness is key. So there is a bit of work to do here. Choose a word. Use it. So become aware of the negative thoughts that you might be having from this point onwards and use your word.
The more you use it - you can use it a thousand times in a day, thats fine - by the end of the week you won't be using it as much because, you're actually retraining your brain and the different types of loops of thinking that it has put itself into. Well, that you have helped it, to put itself into. So now you've gotta help it to break those patterns.
Pick a word. Start today. Take care of you, stay safe and remember - it's all good.
