We have all found ourselves spiralling in our thoughts.
Catastrophizing the smallest incident.
Feeling yourself suddenly doubting and questioning those around you, your decisions, and even yourself.
How do we overcome this? How do we take control of our minds?
On a conscious level, we can practice observing and being curious about our thoughts. Catch ourselves mid spiral.
Stop and question how real these thoughts are.
Notice how you react. How you feel and where in your body you feel this.
You see, the feeling reinforces the thought and thought reinforces the feeling.
So the cycle continues.
Stop and change what you're doing, break the cycle, and observe.
It takes practice, but if you keep trying, you might be surprised by what you observe.
Our mind likes to think up all the negative scenarios and possible negative outcomes to "prepare" you for things to go wrong in order to keep you safe.
That doesn't mean it makes you happy and that doesn't mean your thoughts are telling you the truth.
We want to take back control of our mind and question how we are thinking and feeling.
When you're ready to tackle those pesky thought spirals once and for all.
