This should be headline news!!!!!!!

Thoughts aren’t real. Thoughts aren’t facts. Here’s how to kick out the negative ones…

You know that voice in your head? The one that chips in just when you’re about to do something brave or bold or even just slightly out of your comfort zone?

The one that goes, “You’ll mess this up.”

“They’re just being polite.”

“Don’t even bother, it’s not going to work.”

Yeah, that voice.

Now imagine if it belonged to someone else. Like an actual person who sat next to you at work and just said those things out loud, every day, constantly.

You’d report them to HR before lunch.

But because it lives in your own head, you tend to believe it, right? It sounds like you, so it must know what it’s talking about?

Spoiler alert… it doesn’t!

Most of the time, it’s just that overloaded part of your brain that is remembering everyone’s dentist appointments and mentally replying to three emails.

And it’s annoyingly persuasive, because it uses your own voice to talk you out of the things you want most.

But here’s the bit that makes all the difference…

You don’t have to believe everything you think!

Honestly. You really don’t.

Don’t get me wrong, most of your thoughts are very useful, and a few of them will even be kind.

But some are… absolute nonsense in a silly hat.

You see, your brain’s job is survival, not sparkle.

It means well, bless it, but the truth is, your brain’s main job isn’t to make you happy - it’s to keep you safe. Which means it’s got a habit of assuming the worst, then acting like it’s done you a favour.

And this is where the trouble begins, because if we’re not careful, we start taking every thought seriously. Cue a world epidemic of anxiety.

We forget that just because a thought feels real, doesn’t mean it’s true. Just because it’s loud, doesn’t mean it’s useful.

So, what’s the trick?

Hang on to the good thoughts. Let them hang around in your head. Welcome the feelings they bring.

And the negative thoughts? They’re like unwelcome visitors – if you don’t feed them they soon leave.
