TODAY'S LEARNING
Stop Negative Spirals

The world is a harsh place to be right now. Given all of the uncertainty, fear, and overwhelming energy that have been reported in the news for a very long time, it is understandable why so many of us find ourselves living in our worst nightmares and experiencing terrifying thoughts and emotions. Naturally, it can be quite difficult to get out of this negative rabbit hole after we've fallen into it.

So how then do we break free from these destructive patterns and get back to a state of acceptance and serenity?

First, don’t suppress the negative thought.

It’s important to pause and pay attention to the negative thought but not get trapped into entertaining or engaging with the negative thought. Studies reveal that suppressing unpleasant ideas simply serves to reinforce them. Instead, notice the negative thought and then let it float away. Next, take the negative thought you released and replace it with a happy thought or image.

Don’t forget to breathe

When you start to feel anxious, it's the ideal time to stop and take a deep breath. Shut your eyes and inhale for four counts, then exhale gradually for another four counts. Be gentle to yourself when anxiety and tension start to build up. Take a moment to unwind and breathe. When the anxious mind is directed toward breathing instead of worrying, it becomes extremely peaceful.

If you need one more reminder to slow down, place a sticky note that says, "Remember to breathe!" inside your desk drawer at work, on the refrigerator, or on your mirror.

Don’t believe everything you think

Just because you have a thought, doesn’t mean it’s true. When you catch yourself thinking harsh thoughts about yourself or in a bad frame of mind, stop, consider the thought, and ask yourself why. Does this have any supporting evidence? Are you making snap judgments? Are you looking at the big picture or are you only concentrating on the worst case scenario? Take a step back, reconsider, and consider the wider picture of what is truly taking place.

Try a positive message mantra

When you start to feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts, concentrate on a mantra or positive statement that you find reassuring and powerful. For example, your mantra might be, ‘All will be well. All will be good. Things will work out.’” For a convenient reminder in times of stress, we advise having a copy of your mantra on your desk, in your wallet, and on your mirror.

When you feel at ease and comfortable, repeat the mantra or phrase. Your brain will start linking the comforting, soothing words with feeling upbeat and at ease. Repeating the words while you apply pressure to a particular finger or area of your hand might be beneficial for "anchoring" the soothing energy within you. Repeat the mantra or phrase whenever you feel even the tiniest bit stressed or anxious. If it feels better to touch the anchoring place on your hand or finger, add in this element for greater benefit.

Treat yourself as your own best friend

It's crucial to pause when you're having negative thoughts about yourself and consider if you would say the same thing to a friend. Frequently, we speak to ourselves in ways that we would never consider speaking to a friend. Try treating yourself with the same love and care as you would a friend the next time you are being harsh with yourself.

We also advise looking more closely to discover the source of this self-criticism. Do you have the impression that you are making an effort to impress people, or yourself? Can you trace back to where this all started? Therapy is a great place to start exploring your earlier experiences and how they might be impacting you now.

ZEN STORY
Enlightenment is not an attainment…

Yamaoka Tesshu, a samurai and student of Zen, traveled around Japan studying from various Zen masters. One day, he wandered into the Shokoku Temple and happened upon the monk Dokuon.

In a desire to show his comprehension of Zen, Tesshu stated to the Master, “The mind, the Buddha and all beings are empty. The true nature of all things is emptiness. There is no enlightenment, no delusion; no sages, no commoners; no toil, no reward.”

Master Dokuon remained quiet for some time and then banged him on the head.

Tesshu fumed in anger and asked, “What did you do that for?”

Master Dokuon replied, “If everything is empty, where did the temper come from?”
