It’s very easy to lose perspective, especially if you're stressed and things are not going as per plan or expectations.
And so a molehill can become a big and terrifying mountain in your mind.
I’d like to quickly and simply share couple of steps to handle these situations so they don’t get out of hand.
Iam trying them myself
Here’s what I do
Say stop.
In your mind, shout “STOP!” or “NOPE, we are not going down that path again!” as soon as thoughts of this kind start to spin in your head.
Think Positive
After you have disrupted the thoughts by shouting stop sit down and just be still and think Positively .There must be a positive.
Refocus.
Question your mountain building thoughts by talking to someone close to you and getting a more grounded perspective on the situation by just venting or by getting his or her input.
Hope this helps..
It's helping me in this time of uncertainty.
