I love creating simple sweet gifts for my friends. Meet Cindy. We've been friends for 40 years! (Kinda amazing right?!?!? Especially since we are barely over 29 🤣)

One of her favorite quotes is by Henry David Thoreau. Swipe to see her beautiful quote surrounded by roses. 🌹

Here's a cool trick! Actually, that's not giving it the respect it's due. Here's a way to help you diffuse a negative thought or a thought loop.
🌿
What you want to do is NOTICE when you are having a thought that is causing you pain. For example, "I don't have any friends." "I will never be able to lose weight." "I will always be alone."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now when you have that thought, NOTICE it and say out loud "I notice that I'm having the thought that . . . (and fill in your thought.)"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It might sound silly or too simple but just noticing the thought as you have it starts to create space around the thought. And creating space around the painful thought begins the process of helping you SEE the thought. Examine it from all sides. Take a walk around it so to speak. Distance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Noticing, seeing, distancing yourself from the thought begins the most magical process of helping you diffuse it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like to add saying "Stop" out loud after noticing the thought to bring an end to a painful loop that I have going in my head.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This works! It may not work the first time. Or the second. Or even the third. But keep at it. After all, what do you have to lose? (Painful thoughts, of course. 😂)
