Is this thought helpful?
“The thought that’s in your mind right now, is it helpful?”……”Is this thought helpful?”
Are you aware of the importance of your thinking? Each thought we have matters.
Some of our thoughts are helpful.
Some thoughts raise our self esteem, increase our sense of power and control and build our confidence around others. They can calm us down, help us see the bright side, motivate us to take action, reinforce our self worth.
Some thoughts are unhelpful.
They lower our confidence, make us feel powerless, make us overreact in social situations. They can wind us up, make us feel overwhelmed, negative and worried. They can cause us to feel anxious, depressed and demotivate us from trying.
We’re all capable of having helpful and unhelpful thinking. And we get into ‘thinking habits’ or patterns. The effect of our thoughts is predictable: The more helpful our thoughts and thinking in general, the better, more motivated, and more thriving we feel.
It’s easy to spot the big negative thoughts we have, especially if we are in the habit of managing our thinking helpfully. You can shout ‘Oi get lost!’. It’s harder to spot the negatives though if all our thinking is a bit grey and sludgy.
