Whether it’s worrying too much, emotional eating, or biting your nails we all have habits we want to break. Our habits, both good and bad, become ingrained in our brains through repetition. So how can we rewire our way of thinking? The first step in changing our minds is recognition.
Recognition is made up of three components: identifying the problem, acknowledging its validity and realization of self. To put it simply, recognition requires observing yourself and becoming more self-aware.
Many of us feel like we are controlled by our emotional responses. It’s human nature to get swept up in our feelings, but by focusing our attention inward we can observe our problematic thoughts and learn what triggers them.
To begin, take a few slow, deep breaths and bring all of your attention to this present moment. On your next breath, allow yourself to answer this question: Who have you been? Remember, there are no right or wrong answers to this question. Just allow your thoughts to wander and write down what comes to mind.
