EP 033 - Divesting a Thought of Its Power The Workday Mindset Podcast
-
- 自己啓発
When we think about a potential future scenario that makes us uncomfortable, our mind wants to “confront” the thought. It wants us to meet the thought on the thought’s terms and to accept the future scenario as true - even if it has no basis in fact - so that we can come up with a solution, just in case that future scenario actually happens.
When we confront thoughts like this, what we end up doing is breathing life into them and giving them power over us.
So instead of “confronting” a thought, in this episode we talk about a better way to address these thoughts - a way that helps us loosen the grip that a challenging thought has over us.
