When your thoughts deceive you

 “The more I relax, the better I feel.”

That's all.

This sentence would normally make you smile or provoke no reaction at all, just like if I told you that peas are small, round and green.

But if it triggers resistance, criticism or a form of rebellion in you, it could be a sign that you're under the influence.

The influence of what? 

Perhaps negative emotions...

When we are overwhelmed by negative emotions (sadness, stress, confusion...) our perception becomes distorted.

Our ability to see things with wisdom, perspective, and clarity shrinks.

It means that...

When we feel bad, we cannot trust what we think.

I suggest you engrave this sentence on your fridge door with a knife:

"When I feel bad,
I can't trust what I think."

(Or, if you prefer, just write it on a post-it.)

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?

The answer is in the phrase itself: Relax...

1 - Relax your shoulders, sit up straight and take deep belly breaths.

2 - Write down or say aloud what's bothering you (record yourself).

3 - Give yourself the support you need. What would you like to hear? What would you like someone to tell you? Say it to yourself.

And if this feels difficult, seek support.
No one is meant to navigate everything alone. Not even the most eminent surgeon can operate on himself!

REMEMBER:

- There is always a solution.

- You have all the resources you need to face whatever comes your way, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.

- Nothing exists but the present moment.

- You are not alone.

- Love what matters the most.

Try it. And watch what changes in you.
