Something Serious

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month.

According to the National Science Foundation, an average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts?per day. Of those, 80%?are negative?and 95%?are?repetitive thoughts.

We all struggle from self-defeating internal commentary about our abilities - this is nothing new. The real conversation you need to be looking at is what you are doing with these conversations.

Owning your potential (or greatness as I like to call it) is one of the most challenging acts anyone can face, especially when you have that little annoying and nagging voice in the back of your head telling you half-truths and full lies.

A great resource worth discovering is the book?Your Mind Is What Your Brain Does For A Living?by Steven Fogel. He discussed a powerful practice called C.O.A.L., which stands for?Curious,?Open,?Accepting, and?Loving towards oneself.

Some other actions?you can take which can help:

???????????????Journal your feelings

???????????????Talk about it

???????????????Practice mindfulness?

???????????????Distract yourself

???????????????Speak to licensed professional

We are all fighting something on the inside and the most important battle you may encounter is the one going on inside of you now. The good news is that this is a fight that you can win. It takes time to change your mindset from negative to positive thinking, especially if you’ve been living like this for some time.

Start now and watch how great you can be.
