Whether we recognize it or not we are constantly talking to ourselves. Our thoughts give away times when we feel inferior, inadequate and when we feel confident and competent.
As you brace to face work, or family, or a tough conversation what message do you speak to yourself?
Being aware of our thoughts and intentionally managing them is really important for keeping healthy mental health. Like so many others confronted with life and lifestyle impacts and changes from COVID19 I am not immune.
As a counsellor it often occurs that a theme or topic raised by a client in some way correlates with my own life. Being a professional ensures that I am able to contain this and stay focused and attuned to the needs of the client. Most of the time this occurs easily and without fuss.
However there are days when I need to be fully aware of my own capacity and yesterday was one of those days. So, in order to remain focused, in spite of what was happening in other areas of life I wrote myself a little note that I stuck next to my computer screen whilst I conducted online counselling.
What are some of your go to mindset resets?
