Become comfortable with having a negative thought pop into your mind, and grow in your ability to simply let that thought pass by without dwelling on or expanding the negativity. Thoughts such as “I’ve tried that before,” “Who do I think I am to be able to do that?” or “I’ll be put down when I share this.”
What I do when a negative thought stops my flow is think to myself: “Isn’t that interesting?” (Interesting that this negative thought popped up.) And then I let it go. My next thought is not wondering why I had the negative thought, or putting myself down in any way for having it. My next thought is back on the awe-creating possibilities I was in the midst of exploring.
Interruption is there and gone as quickly as you can say to yourself “Isn’t that interesting?” With practice over time, you’ll find that you go easier on yourself after an interruption each time. You deserve to have positive thoughts about you, and all that you find inspiring.
Let your unconscious mind help you move away negative thoughts. In addition to awe and interruption, practice recovery.
