Many times we feel tired not only physically but mentally too. Therefore, a mental detoxification is necessary, to get rid of what makes us sad, upset, stressed and lead us to negative thoughts, behaviours, anxiety, remorse and guilt.
Below you will find what could help you and what you should avoid.
What you need to avoid
• Thinking the first negative version of each new start
• Blaming yourself for everything (mostly negative) occurs
• Taking personally a situation/ someone's words/behaviour
• Usurping the problems of others [set boundaries and separate the problems of your own from others]
• Getting angry because others (partner, siblings, parents) do not behave as you want or expect you to behave
• Heving remorse and guilt for not having responded to what the others expected from/for you
• Diminuishing the value of what you have accomplished so far
• Expressing negatively. Avoid "no", "don't" and "must." (The frequent use of "must" creates coercion and pressure).
What can help? Try to
• Schedule yourself to think positively. In fact, use positive expressions even for the simplest things
• Accept yourself
• Express your thoughts and especially your feelings (although in principle it is difficult to express in words, try to write)
• Not always judge yourself strictly
• Have as many expectations as to motivate you without holding you captive
• Feel gratitude for what you have accomplished or experienced: Write on a paper three things that make you feel good (feel gratitude) to read it when negative thinking hits the door.
"Watch your thoughts, because they become words. Watch your words, because your words become actions. Watch your actions, because they become habits. Watch your habits, because they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny" (Indira Gandhi).
