Your thoughts emerge from out of nowhere
Your subconscious mind
No thought is bad on its own. It's only if you identify with it
Your mind tells stories, it wants your attention.
They are just thoughts, they are not facts.
Let's disrupt & change our stories

Let's disrupt & change our stories
1. Diffusion (part 1)
Pick an upsetting thought you have
ex. “I am not talented”
Now add the phrase “I am having the thought that…”
You will notice the power of that thought lessen
You have detached yourself from the thought

1. Diffusion (part 2)
Pick a negative thought & silently sing it to the tune of “Happy Birthday”
What happened?
Hopefully, you can see it for what it is: nothing more than a string of words
No avoiding. No denying. Only disrupting.

If you have a story that comes up often? Name it
Ex. “I am a loser”
Here is my “I am a loser story” and if you can joke about it say “Thanks subconscious mind”
Now you see your thoughts just as words NOT facts

2. Meditate to separate from your thoughts.
💠You are NOT your stories.
💠Others put them there.
💠They constantly arise.
💠You can “catch” them.
💠Separate from them.
💠Be curious about them
💠Maybe ask why?
Then watch them dissolve like a cloud on a windy summer day.

4. These tools will not work every time
If all this fails, say in your head:
"As bad as this feels it will 100% pass; when it does I must focus on the good times"
Survive the bad days & Savor the good days
