I think one of the best ways to start this process is to hear the positive thoughts of other people, who have reached a point in their life and their mindset where it’s possible to reflect and express how to begin this ourselves. So, how can we change our own damaging repetitive thought patterns? We will all face challenges in life and need to handle obstacles while coming on top, and it’s most important that we not let these things affect us tremendously psychologically. Patience is a virtue, I have heard, but it's way easier said than done! Still, it’s extremely important that we at least start to work on the way we approach our more negative thoughts, so we can better understand and change them. We as humans often are not born equipped to process these things, and we need to develop the skills to wait for things to improve. While dealing with unresolved feelings and trying to overcome life struggles, it is quite easy (and very natural) to become even more depressed or sad in the process, especially when not knowing which exact and definitive steps to take in order to change how we feel. That’s why it’s so important to recognize the negativity of these thoughts and to put them in perspective! It might sound a bit intense saying that out loud, but unfortunately this is the reality of many of us. Perhaps some of us were taught very well how to deal with those feelings, but many others maybe just learned to smile and pretend that everything is great. Yet for most of us, it can be very hard and complicated to come to terms with those feelings. These feelings are all very normal, and they’re things that almost every single human on the planet goes through at some point. Sometimes in life there’s a situation where we worked really hard for something, yet it seems like no matter what we just don't get the break we need. It’s only human to feel disappointed if we didn't get a job we dreamed about for a long time, or if a relationship we thought was for the long term dissolves unexpectedly. It is easy to get wrapped around a not so healthy mindset when we have a setback in life or things don't go exactly how we pictured them. With the widespread use of social media, more often than not we are prone to believing that everyone else's life is perfect (unlike ours) and that the whole world has life figured out (except us).
