Changing the world is as simple as changing the way you think. Alas, changing the way I think is not as simple as I wish it was. Well just it all! ! !

Be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Ghandi

I have not figured out how to do this in day to day practice. What does it look like? I have been such a negative thinker my brain is on auto pilot. Did the article provide strategies? Thanks for the post.

Mindfulness1 i found only this short piece let me go back to see if it has more to it thanks

@arfire agreed thanks

That is a good one to think about. Thanks magicroom.

Something I've been trying, albeit sporadically, is to practice trying to be grateful when anxiety comes out to play as a way to reframe it... sort of, "I am grateful for this opportunity to work with difficult feelings."

Definitely!

I have been able to help myself see the + in the same equation of -. Not always easily, however, choosing to add a positive word is a simple way to change the way you think.

Where it is 'automatic', I've added the shift gear to include a positive word. Using the frame that is comfortable, I work with more parts.

In finding my calm and comfort balance, I'm gaining more of the challenging moments in a better way.

Choosing to change is often a challenge in itself. You're changing what is comfortable in a pattern and adjusting.

Here's to healing!

You have to be aware of your negative thinking to change it. Listen to yourself, use a journal to write down negative thoughts. Once you have awareness you can begin to change what you say to yourself.

Keep writing it out. Changing your negative thoughts into positive is more productive. You can do this.
Have a Happy and Positive New Year!!!!!
