Reframe what you see in front of you

Are you someone who struggles with Negative thinking? Blah blah blah, you see this all the time with all this recycled self help circle jerk. This is real practical advice you can take RIGHT NOW.

I’m going to use examples and then explain.

Negative thinking: You walk into work, tired from the gym, knowing you have a long shift ahead, you know it’s gonna suck cock but you gotta get through it. You see your coworkers talking, your first thought is how annoying and sheepish they are. You’d rather be home doing something else. The customers look at you like you are a robot. Do I look cool?Man I gotta take a shit but I don’t want to get behind. You think to yourself how all this walking is gonna hinder your gains. You’re going through the motions thinking about your shift. More negative thoughts follow as you.. PAUSE

LIFE CAN BE BETTER IN YOUR HEAD

This is the cycle most of us go through, Your brain controlling you instead of you controlling it.

If youre someone who thinks in a negative derp state then you have to rewire your brain to see things differently by REFRAMING it in a way that is more realistic in an optimistic light. Let’s go through the above with how you would act within the FRAME of POSITIVE REFRAMING.

Positive Thinking: You walk into work, tired from the gym, knowing you have a long shift ahead, you know it’s gonna be a long shift but you think it’s fun pushing yourself and how it will translate into other areas of your life, you see your coworkers talking and you’re glad to see that people can work together and not kill each other and the fact that society actually works. The customer looks a little down, I bet he’d appreciate if I help him out. You feel yourself having to shit because you are eating 5000 calories a day and you’re bulking, at first you are worried because you don’t like shitting in public but then you think of how grateful you are that your body still works and you can eat a lot of food just with money. You think about how all this walking is gonna hinder your gains but you REFRAME IT by saying how a little cardio would help the ole heart. You feel yourself going through the motions so you say to yourself you’re gonna set mini goals for yourself while working and self amuse yourself with funny jokes.

Eventually you feel so good because you have been pumping your state with Positive emotions as you have turned every stupid thought with a more grounded thought. Then you have momentum, and you want to talk to people and coworkers because you don’t have the mental parachutes holding you back.
