De-looping

1. Detect the negative thought
2. Detach from the negative thought . Get in the present moment
3. Detour: change your thoughts
4. De-story. What story are you telling yourself.

When I'm not distracted from outside noise, my brain starts "looping". Regretting things I've done to others, angry about things others have done to me; goes on and on and on. You've given me hope

[wendyspencer]

Wow. This is incredibly helpful. Guilty of way too much looping, all the while knowing full well I need to stop, but never perfectly clear as to exactly how

[leefonda]

What a beautiful video. Above all it's beautiful because you decided to do it. I'm thinking the primary purpose was to help humanity. That is the most pure purpose we can have. That is seeding good karma.

You are such a beautiful hearted human… I appreciate this video.

I have a loop that I get stuck on often, I need to keep cleaning it up.

I'm working on mine now. We all go through it. Sometimes we feel as if we're going through it alone. But we're not. God bless you keep moving forward in a positive light. Amen

You definitely came to me in Divine Timing. When your video popped up, it had 441 likes. I get 144 in some form every single day. Sometimes, I get it several times per day. I always pay attention when I see it because I know it's my sign from GOD 💫
Thank you for sharing your wisdom ... it's so True!! I've been trying to explain this to my daughter for a while now. Im sending her your video!! Many Blessings 🌹

I'm working with psychologist now, so it's getting better. We tried getting to present moment but switched to something else as this was more effective. Thanks.

Just FLEET IT. Afterall, its just a fleeting thought. Conflict occurs when you try to make something more than or different than what it is. It's just a fleeting thought so JUST "THINK" FLEET, and move on to the

[gabriellewilder]

Such good advice! If we all went for a walk or just got outside in nature every time we felt overtaken by negative thoughts, the world would be a much happier place.

I just love you! Thank you for all of your videos and posting moments like this

[johnzgrabik]

Thanks for the wise words, Barbara! I could have sworn I saw that majestic tree taking notes :-)

Theres only "reason/hard logic/facts/undisputables" & "emotions/feelings".

First rid of the looping negative emotions/feelings

2:15 - Detect: That you're having a negative thought loop

2:25 - Detatch: Get out of your own mind/head & return to the present mindless moment

3:20 - Detour: Focus on something else. Quite literally, put another thought into your mind & that is automatic when you do something else.

4:53 - De-story: Change the prevailing negative story you are telling yourself. Change it to "Ill live to tell the story"/"One day Ill tell the story"

Once you're level enough & without emotion - There only is left reason/hard logic/facts/undisputables

All problems are understanding problems. Hard logic/facts that you dont yet clearly/fully understand.

Once emotion is dead & the sensation within is a cold flatline, use your faculty for reason to understand your way to true clarity. Deep inside the problem itself, the solution will be found.
