this video will show you my top three techniques for overcoming negative
thinking I'm gonna share with you ways you can apply it in your own life making
it very simple so it's also easy to apply welcome back on another video my
name is Erin and I help people expand their consciousness now in this video
I'm going to be sharing with you the practices that I use in my own life in
order to transcend the idea of negative thinking how I'm able to slow down my
thoughts so that they don't consume me now this has to do with some things I've
shared on the channel before but I get asked the question a lot so what I
thought I would do is compile my top three techniques into one video so that
you guys can always come back to it just in case you guys want to refresher on it
now the first thing to understand about this is when it comes to negative
thinking and it comes to overthinking the key to the whole process is non
identification now non identification means that we aren't identified with
what we're thinking and we're more so able to just observe it now I use this
analogy a lot because I think it's really easy to relate to but imagine
that you're sitting at a park on a park bench and you're watching people walk by
there might be people walking by families maybe a dog walks by the idea
is that you're sitting there and you're just observing the people walk by
they're not good they're not bad they just simply are and when we look at our
thoughts in the same way it makes it so much easier to understand in the same
way we wouldn't follow the people and get up and start following identifying
with the people that walk by we can realize that we are not our thoughts we
may think our thoughts but when we learn how to observe them that's where we
start to take our power back is in the observation now the first technique I
have for you is neutralizing our thoughts and being able to relate to our
thoughts as we are thinking them but they are not who we are now in order to
do this all you simply do is first off have the awareness that everything in
life is fundamentally neutral now this is powerful and understanding
because then we realize that if something is good it's because we
associate it with being good we're giving it a positive connotation if
something is negative then we're associating that with being something
that's not good or something that we don't want to experience in our life now
the power of this is knowing that when something happens in our life when a
certain situation happens it has the meaning built into it that it is neutral
but we tag the meaning along so the next time that maybe something happens to you
and priorly you would said that's a negative thing that's happening I can't
believe this is happening you can always bring yourself back to that midpoint and
realize this is a neutral idea I can choose my perspective and having that
awareness means that you won't get the negative effects from it now from a
thinking point of view the key to this is being able to observe those thoughts
and actually allow them to be there now this was a game-changer for me because
when I learned how to observe my thoughts and to let them be there that's
when I started to get really good results now that seems like a paradox
like you normally want to try to control the mind you want to try to control and
not have the negative thoughts kind of like shield us from it but realize that
when we do that it's the ego that's trying to control everything and that
causes resistance and that resistance will end up creating more of itself so
then more of those negative thoughts come in so the key to this is to
actually let it be there now this is the analogy I use in order to understand
this and I'm not talking down to anybody or us in general because this is the
analogy for the ego but imagine we are talking to a toddler like a two-year-old
the idea is that if the two-year-old is arguing with us and we keep arguing back
with it and we keep trying to control it that causes resistance but sometimes the
best thing to do is to just let the toddler have a temper tantrum let it go
do its thing and eventually it's going to get tired it's gonna take a nap now
in the same way we can treat our ego the same way our ego in a way could be the
part of like a two-year-old the idea is we can let the ego observe those
thoughts and eventually as they observe the thoughts
as we are observing the thoughts of our ego eventually they go away and then as
we allow it to be there it'll start to lessen and we won't be thinking them as
much so the key to this is pure observation neutralizing the thoughts we
have they're not good they're not bad they simply are and if you apply this
this can be the biggest game-changer in your life when it comes to meditation at
least it was for me now the second way that we can go about this in order to
overcome negative thinking or just to stop overthinking in general is to do
this exercise and you can do this with me right now
this exercise is simply all we're gonna do is we're gonna bring the awareness
out from being in the head of majority and into the hands and the body now the
idea behind this this is something I learned from the power of now by Eckhart
Tolle what we do is we bring the awareness out of the thinking out of the
intellectual nasaw the seriousness of the mind and we bring it into our body
and the idea is that when we put the awareness into our body we can't be
overthinking at the same time as putting the awareness there so the key to this
and you can do this with me right now what we'll do is we'll take two deep
breaths in through our diaphragm breathe in through our nose and what we'll do is
as we breathe out put all your awareness into your hands
just the sensation you don't really have to feel it but you can if you want just
put your hands like this feel into your body and just put this sensation there
put your awareness there so right now let's take a deep breath in and a deep
breath out so
and now as you breathe out put the awareness on your hands put the
awareness on your left leg and foot your right leg inputs put the awareness in
your chest in your heart space and as you do that you're already taking the
awareness out of the head out of the overthinking let's do one more same
thing bring your awareness into your left hand your right hand your left foot
your right foot into your chest into your heart and as you fuel into it you
are able to take the awareness out of the head out of the overthinking the
intellectual mists and into the body and that's where you really start to become
present to the moment becoming present to the moment is the solution to
overthinking it is the solution to negative thinking because when you
become present to the moment you allow the present moment to be and then
everything begins to go away that is unwanted this has been some of the most
powerful stuff that has changed my life now the third one and the final one I
want to share with you has to do with something that's kind of like meditation
but it's more of about breaking patterns it's about understanding the power of
our physiology and how our physiology affects how we feel
now with this understand that the way that we move the way that we represent
ourselves has an effect on how we feel now when we are immersed into the
negative thinking and we find that it's consuming us the idea is a lot of times
that is simply a pattern that we've practiced we may have practiced this
pattern so much it may have been become a part of who we are but the key to this
is knowing that what we can really learn to do is to break the patterns that we
have now the easiest way I found to break a pattern this is something I
learned so I can mixture right here of Tony Robbins and dr. Joe Dispenza from
his book how to break the habit of being yourself what we can do is we can use
our physiology we can move ourselves in a certain way and we can say a phrase a
phrase that this represents to us that we're breaking a pattern now in dr. Joe
Dispenza book he talks about saying the word
changed to say change anytime we want to break the pattern and change our
thoughts to something else so that we stop breaking we start breaking the
habit of those negative thinking and those negative thought loops now we can
say change then something that I learned from Tony Robbins is bringing the
physiology into it why I keep going like this bring your
body language into it bring your posture into it and realize that as you do that
you're also changing it at a deeper level because from a physiology
physiologic Physiol feel physiological physiological physiological point of
view you're able to really make a more powerful change so what you do is
anytime you find yourself going on a tangent of that negative thinking you
first off catch yourself and that's the first part of the equation because when
you become aware of what you're thinking you've already started to take your
power back because normally we're in the autopilot mind and we're not even aware
that that is what we're thinking so first I'll be grateful because now that
you're aware that that is what you're thinking you can actually change it you
cannot change what you are not aware of and you cannot change what you do not
own so own it no it's okay that you're thinking those negative thoughts but
what we're gonna do is we're gonna decide to change so what we're gonna do
is when you find yourself and catch yourself thinking those negative
thoughts say the words change say any word that really represents that idea to
you and use your hands like this do some type of thing with your body that makes
you kind of wake up from that autopilot thinking so that you are able to break
the pattern this is something that I apply in so many different areas of my
life when it comes to niche negative patterns I have whether am I chewing on
my fingernails or whether I am doing something just with my thoughts and I'm
thinking a certain way and a momentum is starting I do that and I find it's very
powerful so these are the top three techniques that I've used they've
radically changed my life a lot of the people that I coach I share this with
and they get very good results or it just completely changes their life like
they learn how to observe the thoughts and from that point it changes the way
they see the world and the way that they relate to the world because they changed
the way they relate to their thoughts so remember the three techniques are first
off simply neutralize anything you're thinking realize that everything is
fundamentally neutral and that as you learn to observe your thoughts as if
you're sitting at a park bench you will start to neutralize them they won't have
so much power over you that secondly you can do the daily practice just for a
minute or two of bringing the awareness out from the head and
into the body put the sensation on the hands on the feet on the heart and do
that you'll find that you start to become much more present to the moment
thirdly break the patterns of negative thinking by using their physiology in a
certain way and deciding that as you do that you can revert that to the thinking
that you actually prefer or to the neutrality that doesn't have power over
you so would that be upset I hope you guys enjoy this video feel free to like
