Stop Negative Thoughts With This Simple Trick
94Wondering how to stop the automatic thinking that gets you stuck? Need to get into a better state? Here's a story about how I was coached on overcoming my overthinking by my breakdancing teacher. This lesson, although simple, was a very key moment of personal development and my ability to control my thought patterns. At the end, I explain why this helps with negative thoughts and how it works with anxiety and depression as well. Please don't just use this as an inspirational #shorts video - implement the understanding of it into your life.
When I used to break dance, I was trying to stick a 1990 or something like that.
I couldn't do it. It was driving me nuts.
And I was bringing that anger into my performance and my teacher looked at me and he said,
"You need to change this. You need to take a break. Think about it differently. Give yourself some time to process all this stuff so that you're not grounding in the negative habits and the negative thoughts, again, and again, and then come back to it with that fresh perspective."
That's definitely been one important lesson throughout my life for a lot of different things.
It's essentially, the Meta pattern within Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
1. Associate into a bad state.
2. Dissociate: Put it over there. Go do something else, Shake It Off,
3. Get into to a better state: Change your breathing, listen to some music that you want and then
4. Come back to that negative state and collapse it.
Crushing the negative state with positive
to help you break loose of those neural pathways that are just constantly firing together.
And you're adding in more options and more options leads to progress and potential and growth.
