A Simple Trick to Stop Negative Thinking (and Control Anxiety)

Do ever find yourself stuck in negative thoughts, overwhelmed with self-critical voices or amping your nervous system with overthinking? In this video I'm going to share a popular acronym that can show you how to stop the negative thoughts and control the anxiety that is there. Not only that, if you employ this simple trick, you'll also find you'll be building greater emotional and mental health.

I'll bring you through 5 simple steps, the acronym makes them easy to remember. And by the way, the acronym was originally created to help us have clearer communication, so you'll get to use it for better relationships too. I'll create another lesson on that later.

And...you'll meet the newest addition to my family in this video!

WHO IS THE UNCOVER THE POWER WITHIN COACHING PROGRAM FOR?

There are a few specific (but reasonable) requirements that need to be met before we proceed.

✅ Do you want to change your life?
This program isn't for those who aren't committed to creating vibrant and fulfilling lives. I know it sounds crazy, but some people out there have actually decided they are OK being miserable. This typically happens because the brain has made a decision that certainty of suffering is safer than change. This program isn’t for them...yet.

✅ Are you willing to accept guidance and try new things?
To get the kind of life you’ve never had, you’re going to have to do some things you’ve never done. And while everything we do in Uncover The Power Within starts small and builds on itself. To see growth you will need to be willing to take small steps outside of your comfort zone.(Even if it is at your own pace)

✅ Do you promise to share your light with others?
Those who participate in this program will go on to influence those around them, whether they try to or not. You must be willing to be a force for good in your world and those around you. Those who learn to Uncover The Power Within will be a force for light and peace that the people they love and this world so desperately needs.

If this sounds like YOU then you are the kind of person who will love this journey of progress and growth.

I have been a victim of anxiety for a long time but it is beatable.
My learnings - I was biased towards negativity. One bad thought is like a seed that can grow in the day. You can forget it then, bam, it is in your whole being. Positive thoughts have the same power. Dont think they dont! Even if you can't think of anything, throw out some seed bombs - happy, health, joy, hope, future. Even if you may not feel it, they are planting and growing in your soul like the negative ones. Death of negativity, by a thousand cuts. Don't give up people. We can retrain our brains

[gwennweinblatt]

Are these kind thoughts? inspiring, focus on kindness, fierce kindness and patience, self-compassion, choice, energy we want, hope, joy, love Yes!

Thank you, this is another tool that is useful. I am 69 YO & have told myself these negative words all my life. I do have moments where I can reel myself back to positive thoughts but, negativity is the default position.

2:41 THINK Before speaking ask yourself is it
True
Helpful
Inspiring
Necessary
Kind
The original is inspired by Buddhist philosophy but does not include the H for helpful nor the I for inspire. Often referred to as the "three gateways" - True Necessary and Kind - through which one should pass before speaking. Apparently indications for "right or proper" speech in the Buddhist tradition actually include four or five portals. However this True/Necessary/Kind one is often quoted and easily resonates. Adding the "H" and the "I" enables the acronym. I appreciated the idea of applying this to myself ..not only in communciation with others! Thanks

[roziyakhashimova]

Thank you so much. I have a hard time with unwanted thoughts. I am so tired.those thought making me feel krazy

[johnbrady]

When on my own I can pass very long periods of wallowing/romanticising over depressing thoughts.
I'm 56 now and perhaps it has become an impulse thinking.
The problem is that I seem to enjoy these miserable epic dreams/thoughts.
Within them I just want them to continue and continue - and I don't want a positive thought to come in and spoil the party.
These thoughts make for a horrible soulless way of living

[irenebreslaw-grapel]

[susanflanagan]

I don't know how accurate this is, but I have a note on my office door - "If you proposed to speak, always ask yourself; Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?" -- The Buddha

[nanannyse]

Thank you for this. Definitely will put this to practice.

[Blessedbabee]

Thanks for sharing your Professional experience with Us.

[shirleehoffman]

Thank you for this! The THINK acronym is really helpful for stopping the negative thoughts, even about simple things (while on a walk to the beach: look at all that garbage people leave!) that still become downers.

[janeryan]

I love this acronym! I use it daily T.H.I.N.K. Thank you!

[lunadog]

Thank you Dr. Elisha, that WAS helpful.

[judithwhitaker]

It’s RUMI! And he wrote it about posting on the internet! Hahaha! Lots of great RUMI mindfulness poems and quotes.

[alibinns]

Really great explanation - have used THINK before myself and with clients, but never thought about using it with respect to our own internal dialogue and of course this conversation we have with ourselves is so important. Thank you for the idea! :)

[parkyfn]
