CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS

CHOOSE YOUR LIFE

Anxiety, feeling sad,  having relationship and career troubles, or perhaps experiencing life transition challenges, can leave us finding our “go to” coping behaviours aren’t working anymore.

We teach our brain ruminative behaviour, otherwise known as anxiety, habitually catastrophising, comparing ourselves to others, believing we know what others think (often about us), filtering out the good stuff, telling ourselves we should or must, thinking about the past and the sad state of affairs it has lead to today, thinking about the future and how terrible it will be and relentlessly criticise ourselves. 

 

Once our central nervous system is sensitised, the neural pathway is established and rumination becomes our “go to” behaviour.

Anxiety is never just “anxiety”. There is always something going on underneath, which sometimes we may not be fully conscious of.

 

Discovering what this may be enables us to relate with authenticity and develop deeper, more nourishing connections with others. When we feel truly accepted and connected to others, we experience greater self certainty, peace, direction and life satisfaction.
