How to Reduce Negative Thoughts
Episode description
Do you find yourself consumed by negative thoughts? There’s nothing inherently wrong with having negative thoughts, but if you can’t seem to shake them away or you find yourself constantly in a negative state, then that’s when this behavior becomes unhealthy. Our thoughts influence our actions, which then influences the types of results we are seeing.
Our inner chatter never truly stops, but if we’re aware of what’s coming up for us, then we’re able to work on our inner dialogue to have a more positive outlook and result in life. If we don’t do this, then we can unknowingly take on limiting beliefs about ourselves and we never really get out of this negative hump.
If we want to slow down the energy that we’re putting into a negative thought, one of the best ways to do this is through breath work. When we breathe consciously, that’s our life force at play. It also shifts our attention away from the negative thought and allows us to focus on our breath. This gives the mind a much needed rest to process what’s actually happening. When you’re breathing calmly, it’s a signal to your body that you’re not in a heightened state.
