Even though this might not be obvious to you right now and it may make you feel skeptical or uncomfortable – this is true. And not only is it true, but it is possible to monitor your mind and change your perception.
Like a spiritual healer once told me, your mind is like a computer and when you have depression it’s like your mind got infected with a virus and you can no longer believe or trust in all the thoughts that it spits out at you. You need to learn to recognize between the good thoughts and those infected by the virus.
Like my spiritual healer, Annelene Decaux, recommended, there are several things you can do to help yourself move from “things that serve you” to “things that do not serve you” and I have listed her recommendations below:
- Make a list with two columns: one of “things that serve me” and one of “things that do not serve me.” Things include behaviors, habits, people, conversations, patterns, thoughts, etc. Start writing items down in both columns and do this regularly. Do this many times per day if you’re severely depressed, every day if you’re moderately depressed, every few days if you’re feeling sad, and once per week if things are going good.
- Write down the phrase “Don’t believe everything you think” on several pieces of paper and post them in places that you see regularly (i.e. your bathroom mirror, your car dashboard, your computer, by your bed, etc.)
- Recognize the patterns or ‘clusters’ of thoughts that don’t serve you (e.g. childhood memories, pessimism about the world/future, thoughts of losing control, fear of injury or dying)
- Gradually, you will start to recognize patterns and be able to identify thoughts that do not serve you. When a though that does not serve you arises, use it as a wake-up call and realize that it’s just the virus in your mind pooping out bad thoughts. Then consciously redirect yourself towards thoughts that serve you.
