3 Steps to Control Your Mind
Your thoughts have a habit of getting in the way of being productive, of opening up to new experiences, and of connecting with people, to name a few.
It has the power to make you feel strong emotions, to make you remember certain things that you would rather forget.
It has the ability to provoke your actions based on your feelings and your mind’s pantry of mental images.
All humans are capable of being in control of their minds. Yes, there are times when thoughts just surface or pop out seemingly from nowhere, but we have the power to stop them from escalating or from letting them get the better of us.
Our minds are pretty powerful and they can be your greatest ally or your greatest enemy.
Here are 3 things that could help you tame yours.
Identify Your Thoughts
You need to learn how to identify where these thoughts are coming from. Our feelings are rooted in our thoughts.
So in order to process our emotions and to think rationally about our actions because of them, we need to be able to identify what we were thinking when we felt those emotions.
For example, when you get jealous, there’s usually a deeper cause of your jealousy other than you don’t like this person. It could be attributed to an experience you’ve had wherein the object of your jealousy was able to steal your partner.
Or it could be attributed to a fear of being inadequate that’s why you feel threatened.
So you need to identify the thought that came to you when you felt a particular emotion so that you know how to process it.
Play it out
Once you have identified the thought that came with your emotion, play it out in your head. If it was a painful experience, do a recap, and then write it down like on a dream journal, but a memory journal.
The reason why you should write it down is to scale down the proportion of memory. Things seem worse in our heads than they actually are. By default, our minds tend to magnify horrible experiences and make us expect the worst, which rarely comes.
By writing down the mental reel that plays in our heads, we are distancing ourselves from that memory. We are removing its power to overwhelm us. By removing them from our mental library, we sort of free ourselves from it.
Correct it
When you finally realize just how small it actually figures in your life, you’ll be able to ask yourself “what was I so worried about?”
You’ll be able to identify what about your worry or your thoughts are inaccurate. You’ll be able to see that there are parts about your memory that aren’t real, that aren’t true.
Once you see that, you will then be able to formulate a truth in your mind that gives you comfort, that you can trust.
This will give you the confidence to face negative thoughts in the future without being fazed by it.
No one is telling you that it’s as easy as 1-2-3, but these three steps will surely make it easier than if you just let your thoughts and emotions control you all the time.
