Just observe your thoughts…welcome them, so that you can release them rather than replay them on a loop of skewed perception or a story you’ve been telling yourself without authentic facts or evidence.
Remind yourself: this is only something you are thinking—influenced by experience, bias, learned behaviors, or environment. It is perspective, but not necessarily reality.
When we refrain from assigning meaning to every single thought, we create space to recognize its “performance.” In that moment, we owe it to ourselves to bow out in order to use discernment to rewrite the script.
Choose the opposite thought for a moment…what does that look like? What does it feel like in your body? You may discover a doorway to peace, where you recognize that you are not your thoughts—you are the observer with the power to shift them.
Ask yourself, “What else could this thought mean?”
Mantra: “I use deliberate thinking and discernment to understand my thoughts and feelings.”
