Our minds are very powerful; they can be used for great good, but also great harm. As mentioned in the last blog post, when we are in control of our minds, we can make rational, logical decisions, but when we are not in control of our minds, our subconscious takes over, this is when negative overthinking creeps in.
Counteracting negative overthinking is a battle. “Your mind will resist changing its habitual way of proceeding, of deviating towards excessive thinking, you will be battling with it until you take control, until you win, until you achieve a healing transformation, until you have changed your perspective and developed more favorable habits”.
In SFH we learn how to do this, how to create “more favorable habits.” We do this through explaining how your brain works and why it can get stuck thinking negatively. We empower you with the knowledge you need so you can once again be in control.
When you are in control, it will “mean that you live better, more fully, act when you want to act, and stop procrastinating or refusing to do things you want to do but do not because of doubts and fear.”
Your overthinking can be tamed, and turned into something that adds to your life rather than sap it of enjoyment. You can win.
