What is the best way to relax?
I'm always really tensed. I always feel like I'm being judged or someone's making fun of me. I want to learn how to clear my mind of all the negative thoughts. What is the best way to do this? Can you please recommend iPhone app for meditation or getting rid of stress. Or post a link to a video or website.
Thank you for reaching out for help. It sounds like you have been under a lot of stress lately. Stress and negative thoughts can be frustrating to manage, but rest assured that it is possible to control them. The thoughts that you think dictate the feelings that you feel. If you think negative, scary, or panicky thoughts, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel anxiety and irrational thoughts. If you think positive thoughts, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel happy and calm. To control stress and anxiety, you must change your thought patterns.
For the next week, carry around a small notebook and write down every negative or scary thought that you have. This will help you to see how many of your thoughts are negative. The average person thinks a negative thought every two minutes! Then, after writing down the negative or scary thought, immediately write down or say out loud a positive thought. Come up with a list of positive thoughts that you can tell yourself: "I'm OK." "Today is a good day because I'm choosing that it will be." "I'm strong." "I'm beautiful/handsome." "This too will pass, and I will get through this."
