lose the pessimism. all individual actions; body, speech and thought have an impact on our lives that cannot be avoided. by focusing on the misery or solely striving for happiness humans ultimately avoid the full spectrum of life’s gifts. whether your beliefs include that randomness leads to more randomness, karma, destiny, fate or God’s will….health as a mental concept is realistic and attainable only when it includes happiness as well as suffering as inevitable. so get un-stuck by writing down triggers for negative thought, speech and actions.
When a destructive thought emerges, take a deep breath and ask yourself what physical proof you have that this thought is true? if no proof, then what thought would be more helpful in this situation?
