Take away their power
Acknowledging those negative thoughts but analyzing them in an objective way makes them lose their significance

Looking forward
I need to start doing things in my day other than watch Netflix and spend time with one person. I should go to the park and walk around or run. It will be so hard to get off my butt but I know it will help. It will make the day go by faster.

Day 1
I learned that not every negative thought has to stay negative. You can turn it into something funny or good which might change how i act.

I never felt that a negative thought or feeling could lead
To a more enlightened view of what was expected on my journey.

โ€œThank you, but no thank you.โ€
Thoughts arenโ€™t bad in and of themselves. Acknowledge the thought but donโ€™t give it power. ๐Ÿ”ฎโœจ

Distance yourself from the thought Donโ€™t let it consume you You are not what this voice says Laugh at the thought and donโ€™t take it serious

Acknowledging Thought
In the past when I have had a negative thought enter my mind I say the thought out loud which acknowledges the thought. Once I have acknowledged the thought by saying something like this no longer serves me or is true it changes my thinking.

Sleep
I donโ€™t have a problem falling a sleep but when Iโ€™m sleeping I get a lot of nightmares. In the morning I feel even more tired than before. I hope relaxation and less screen time will help me sleep better.

By pushing away negative thoughts we give them power to control the rest of our thoughts.

Say no to bad days
Acknowledge the negative thoughts and then dismantle the thoughts by recognizing that theyโ€™re just thoughts. Unhelpful thoughts may dissolve as we work through them or even try to use humor to minimize them.

I learned that thoughts aren't bad, unless you let them get the best of you
