Sometimes a good metaphor can be a great tool. The hands as thoughts metaphor uses a simple exercise to help demonstrate the power of changing how you relate to your thoughts.

This method was fantastic. It really changed my view. Thoughts can dramatically change our mentality.

understanding how thoughts are limiting what you concentrate on
This helps you understand that the thoughts you find difficult to look past are just something that cloud your vision and that there is more than just what you tell yourself

Thoughts are transient and can be controlled so as to prevent them limiting your vision and appreciation of reality. Living in the moment and being truly present in the here and now can help you manage your thoughts and understand them for what they are.

Hands as thoughts
I loved this exercise. I am really struggling with some thoughts and this made me realise how they are blocking my ability to be able to see things rationally and find meaningful ways to deal with the issues.

This was a great visual, to see how my thoughts can get in the way of myself.

I learned that my thoughts are keeping me from the people around me.

I noticed how blocked out my vision is. I couldn’t see any part of what is happening. My thoughts obscure my reality, so I can’t see what is really happening.
