Often, we struggle with the same kinds of negative thoughts patterns. They keep popping up whenever something difficult or unpleasant happens to us, or when our emotions suddenly take a nose dive.
But, if we aren't careful, they can start ruling our lives, and we can start to believe that these thoughts are true. And that's when the real trouble begins.
Below are some questions you can ask yourself, in an attempt to be more balanced and objective in your thinking:
1. What is the evidence that says this thought is true?
2. What is the evidence that contradicts this thought?
3. Where does this thought come from?
4. Who has said this about me in the past?
5. What was their motivation at the time?
6. Should I allow that person to shape my thoughts and life?
7. What is the thought trying to tell me/ make me believe?
8. Why am I allowing limiting thoughts to bring me down?
9. How can I challenge this thought?
10. Am I ready to let this thought or belief go?
11. Am I ready to heal?
12. How can I let this thought or belief go?
"Whichever narrative you feed, that's the one that will grow."
