Be mindful of your thoughts. Not all of them are intuitive prompting, or beneficial. Besides this, though, there is the danger/advantage of habitual thought patterns. While most of us have been heavily programmed with negative thought loops that dig stubborn pathways in our
subconscious, the same can be consciously done with positive feedback loops. You can consciously work in overcoming negative thought patterns by becoming conscious of them and learning ways to combat them, most simply by turning them into their opposite, positive statement. In
addition, you should become mindful of WHEN these negative patterns pop up and what triggers them, and then find ways to symbolically counteract them in a physical manner while recognizing the metaphoric and quantum connection tied to what you're doing. For example, if you notice
that you often begin a negative loop while looking into your bathroom mirror, or your bedroom, put up post-it notes with positive affirmations about yourself in these locations. When you become accustomed to thinking about certain things in certain spaces, it reinforces the
trigger, like a shock collar training a dog, so that every time you're in a certain space, certain familiar thoughts and/or feelings can become associated with that space. Thus, if you start setting healthy habitual thought patterns in the spaces/situations that trigger you the
most, you can more actively begin to heal your self image and negative self-talk. This can also be applied to "chores" and things of which you have a negative view. Instead of focusing on the dread-inducing visualization of the negative aspects of the event in question, try to
focus on the feeling of satisfaction you get from having finished something challenging and/or unpleasant, and try to hang onto this feeling. With repetition and persistence, you can wind up associating these unpleasantries instead with feelings of reward and satisfaction, which
can greatly improve the overall experience, and subsequent encounters with said situation will be far less unpleasant. Build those positive pathways up, and the negative ones will soon fade away with disuse.
