Tip #1 Remind Yourself That It’s Just A Thought

 

When you experience a negative thought it’s important that you keep in mind that this thought:

• Is not your True Self
• It’s not necessarily a fact
• And it’s definitely not helpful

 

Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world. – Wayne Dyer

Use this first tip to process your world with a more accurate perspective that thoughts are just thoughts

 

Tip #2 

 

 Choose 2 positive facts to lean into instead. 

 

Just as you have negative thoughts in your mind, you also have positive thoughts about any given topic. We just have to use awareness and focus to tune into them. 

 

Dr. Rick Hanson says, The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. The result is tilted against lasting contentment and fulfillment.

 

When you notice a negative thought, take a moment to come up with two positive facts that refute this thought.

 

This will help you bring in new positive emotions to your experience and help you balance your thinking. 

 

If you think of your emotional experience as a pie pan, and the negative thought has caused your pie pan to be filled with a slice of sadness, imagine that these two positive thoughts will fill your pan with a slice of joy, and a slice of excitement, and a slice of peace. So it isn’t about getting rid of the sad pie slice but is about bringing in other emotions. 

 

Tip #3 Take a Playful Response 

 

Once you notice a negative thought, the hard part is over. Now you have the power to hold it lightly and not take it so seriously. This will take the power out of the thought and remind you that you are in control.

 

Here are a couple Acceptance and Commitment Therapy hacks to do this:

• Repeat the thought in a silly voice
• Imagine the thought as words bouncing around in a white room

 

Tip #4 Leaves On A Stream

This tip is particularly helpful for intrusive thoughts that you can’t seem to get out of your head. 

 

Imagine putting the thought on a leaf and letting it float down a river. 

 

There is a great Acceptance and Commitment Therapy youtube video that can guide you in this exercise which I will link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjKltKKSur8

 

Tip #5 Use Metaphors 

 

My last tip is to use metaphors to keep this whole process in perspective.

 

Here are some Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Metaphors that are helpful to use to deal with negative thoughts:

 

• Imagine you are in the water with a beach ball.  And imagine trying to push the ball under water but it keeps popping up. IInstead of wasting your energy trying to push the ball under water what would happen if you just accepted there and let it float around while you did other things that bring you joy. n this metaphor, the ball is like a negative thought that you keep trying to push away to no avail. You may do things like drink, or isolate, or stay in bed all day to avoid these thoughts but what would happen if you stopped avoiding them and just accepted them.
• The second metaphor is called passengers on the bus. Imagine you are a bus driver and a passenger named shame gets on the bus, then a passenger named worry, then a passenger named anger. As you you drive the bus, these passengers are just chattering away. Instead of letting their chatter control you or trying to kick them off the bus, you stick to your route and decide to focus on enjoying the journey even if these passengers are in the background. This is a pretty obvious metaphor that you are in the driver’s seat when it comes to hearing the chatter of your thoughts and what you will choose to do in the face of them.
• The last metaphor is called an uninvited party guest. Imagine you throwing a fabulous party and your super annoying and cranky neighbor comes to crash the party. Try as you might, you can’t get him to leave so you decide to just accept that he is there and stop missing your own party trying to kick him out. You instead turn your attention to all the other lovely guests that you did invite. In this metaphor you are the host, the uninvited guest is your negative thoughts, and you have the power to choose which guests you focus on.
