According to the National Science Foundation, we have up to 12,000 - 60,000 thoughts per day.
80% of those thoughts are negative…pessimism, catastrophic thinking, rumination, self criticism and perfectionism
That translates to 8,400 - 48,000 negative thoughts!
Your body responds to them as if they were true and pumps out cortisol, adrenaline and other damaging hormones and encoded messages into your cells.
One of the best self care moves you could make is to catch yourself and rewrite that thought!
