Find a more balanced perspective. Clearing out that mental grime is a profound act of self-care that lets the light back in. How will you clear your mind today?

That weekend anxiety or dread? ✍🏻 Trace it back. It often starts with a single thought.

Remember the party invitation example? The thought "I'll be awkward" leads to staying home and feeling lonely. The thought "It's a chance to connect" leads to a fun night out.

This weekend, notice the link: Event -> Thought -> Behavior and Event -> Thought -> Feeling.

⚡You have the power to change the story at the thought stage.

Stuck in a negative loop? 👉🏻 Grab your toolkit. 🧰

These questions aren't just positive thinking—they're a reality check for your brain. They help you shift from a reactive "Default" or "Automatic Thought" map to a rational, chosen one.

The goal isn't to never have a negative thought; it's to not let it drive the car.

Which question might be most helpful for you?

🔍 Ever feel like your thoughts are running the show?

Last Night in , we put our detective glasses on to explore our own minds.

We learned crucial questions to challenge those automatic negative thoughts and redraw our "Thought Mapz."

We walked away with a powerful tool (or 2) to stop spirals before they take us to places we don't wanna go.

Ready to rewrite your mental script?

Let's get real.

It's not the event/situation that ruins your day—it's the thought map you used to navigate it.

Look at these coworkers. Same negative annual review. Very different outcomes. The negative thought spiral led to anxiety and failure. The rational thought led to motivation and growth.

Your power lies in choosing which path to take. Which map will you use today?

🧠 Your brain makes maps --to help you make quick and easy(ier) decisions...

For years, it's been carving deep, familiar trails—your automatic negative thoughts. These are your TM∅ (Thought Map Null - or the original).

The great news? You are not stuck on that path!

Every time you pause and choose a different, more rational thought, you start forging a NEW trail. ⚡ It takes effort, but soon, this new path becomes the easier one to use.

Let's get motivated to build a new map this week!

We brush our teeth daily to prevent cavities and hair (if you have hair) to express yourself physically.

❓What if we did the same for our minds?

👉🏻 Taking 5 minutes 🕔 to "map" a stressful thought is a profound act of self-care. It cleans out the mental gunk that weighs you down.

❓ What's one thought you can gently clean up today?

That lighter, more empowered feeling?

👉🏻 That comes from consciously choosing a new thought path.
❗It's the difference between "This is too hard" (feeling: defeated) and "This is a challenge I can break down into steps" (feeling: determined).

⚡ You have more authorship over your inner world than you think.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) isn't about slapping a happy face 😃😄😁 on everything.

It's about trading a distorted, heavy thought ("I ALWAYS fail") for a more ⚖️ balanced, accurate one ("I failed at this one thing, and I can learn from it").

This shift in weight is how we find solid ground.

What thought could use a little more balance?

🗺️ Once you catch a negative thought, what do you DO with it?

Last night in , we learned how to use a "Thought Map" to challenge accuracy and find a more balanced perspective.
