Whenever you feel sad or mad or nervous
00:00:03
or out of control, write down what
00:00:06
you're thinking.
00:00:08
And then ask yourself, is it true? How
00:00:11
do I feel when I have this thought? How
00:00:14
do I act when I have this thought? And
00:00:16
what's the outcome of the thought? Then
00:00:20
my favorite part of it is take the
00:00:22
original thought and then turn it to the
00:00:24
opposite. And then just ask yourself
00:00:26
whether or not that's true.
00:00:29
And by directing my thoughts, by
00:00:32
managing. So rather than being a victim,
00:00:35
so many of my patients are victims of
00:00:38
their thoughts until they do the work,
00:00:40
right? This is one of the things where
00:00:42
do what the f I say. Write down a
00:00:44
hundred of your worst thoughts. Take
00:00:46
them through that process and by the
00:00:50
time you get to 30, they'll stop
00:00:51
bothering you.
