Two weeks ago I read that a negative thought can linger in our minds for up to 24 hours, while a positive one lasts only about 8 - and so aiming for a 3:1 minimum ratio helps rewire. Sort of the grounds of meditation, but numerically. Since then, a friend and I have been sharing our three positives of the day almost every night, whether big or small. Simple, but meaningful πŸ’œ What are your three positives today? #asknostr

Today I woke up πŸ₯³ I've gotten to do a peaceful morning routine while my puppy is still sleepy πŸ₯³ and I'm about to make some coffee πŸ₯³ Little positive things still count. But I have faith the day will bring me even more πŸ₯°
Love this! I try to take the time to notice beautiful moments. My phone is full of pictures of flowers, or a tree with the backdrop of a pretty cloud, a cat sleeping on the sidewalk, etc. But persistent negative thoughts are often the result of negative subconscious beliefs and require some deep, intentional, re-wiring.

neat observation. it is good to develop agency in terms of the thoughts that inhabit your mind. they can be good tenants that maintain or even improve the place, or dirty squatters who lead to its degradation

That's lovely! Being able to appreciate the little things is actually a skill. Yes totally agreed, this little practice wouldn't be much when struggling with deeply rooted negative conditioning.

@mac6 yes!! Great metaphor. Some will be potential tenants just passing, gotta let them pass, and manage those that rent or squat. Love it love it! Thanks for that. @ostrich mcawesome πŸ«‚ are they temporary bad tenants on their way out, or are they squatters? πŸ«‚ We're here to chat if it helps!

1. Our missing trash can magically reappeared on the street, and was empty. 2. I have good reception to an FM station that plays tunes mostly from the early sixties. 3. Our landlord brought us home made cookies. As an aside, one method I used (amongst several others) for getting out of ~30 years of depression, was to list a minimum of 10 things I'm grateful for every day. I did my best to not repeat an item from the day before, in order to stretch the neuronic pathways to more areas of life/perception/reality.
1) Wonderful sunrise 2) Fantastic breakfast 3) Quality time with loved one's And to top it all off, I got quite a lot of stuff done & spent sats in 3 different places.
1. My cat spent time with me 2. Found a new place to live 3. Will have "me-time" without kids dogs or anyone for 45 minutes later today. β™₯️

Awesome πŸ”₯ can't beat a good sunrise to start the day right, and it only got better!
Nice! I try to do a list of grateful things in my head for a few mins when I first wake up. Definitely has helped get rid of stressful and negative thoughts
