The life we live in is like riding a bicycle. It's like pedaling on a bicycle and getting tired. You feel tired, you feel weak, but you always have to keep going. Even when you say you've given up, you know you have to keep going. What if life doesn't go the way we want? What if there are always bumps on the road?
There may be some problems we may encounter in life. As a result of these problems, we may be exposed to negative thoughts and negative emotions. All of these may cause self-esteem and self-confidence problems. You often get caught up in the negative current created by negative thoughts, and if all you do there is delve further into the subject, the possible consequences of this are risky. In addition, due to thought cramps (negative, unnecessary thoughts), you become stuck in both more thoughts and more severe anxiety. And all this causes you to have self-confidence and self-esteem problems.
So what should I do?
First of all, we need to pay attention to; Let's try to see the situation, environment or event as it is, not with the meanings we attribute to it.
Let's find and explore our thoughts.
Let's learn about our cognitive distortions that have taken place in our negative thoughts.
Let's take a look at our beliefs thanks to the thoughts we have determined. Our deep core beliefs about ourselves will also be challenging us in this process.
Let's apply the thought stopping technique. (Do not suggest yourself out loud or silently.) I recommend that the suggestion be short and clear. For example; You may say, "I'll stop thinking about it here."
Let's apply the thought refutation technique. A kind of evidence-seeking exercise.
While doing all these experiments, let's take the risk of feeling disappointment from time to time or that things will not always go the way we want.
Let's put the right focus into action.
Let's get rid of the thoughts that negatively affect us by generating alternative thoughts.
DON'T GIVE UP. PEDAL AND REACH ANYWHERE YOU WANT!
