The 3 Steps To Taking Your Power Back

If your mind is constantly spinning with negative thoughts and you just can’t seem to shake it off, the 3 steps I’m sharing in this video will help you get your power back.

First up, stop making yourself wrong. There’s nothing wrong with you, and you are stronger than you think. Worrying, ruminating, and even anxiety, are just patterns. And any pattern can be broken and replaced with something better. In this video, I explain how.

Yes we are so much stronger than our fears allow us to think we are. Fear cripples us while faith and hope free us.

"It's like a hot flash.' LOVE IT. What a perfect analogy, Mel!! Our brains have convinced us that physical symptoms like hot flashes are separate from us but our thoughts ARE us, even though those thoughts are also just created by part of our physiology (our brains!). It's a game changer to be able to step back & see thoughts and brain chatter for what it is. We don't have to be controlled by it.

Poor lady, I feel so bad for her. I used to have anxiety when I was at University, but it never got to what she is experiencing (crying, getting hospitalized etc.) I feel with her. In my case journaling, attending a therapy (just kind of a check up, nothing intensive) and some natural medication (herb tea, herb meds), sports helped big time. This pandemic is also bringing some raw emotions for me too because my small company I have been building for the last two years has been struggling big time. Basically, I lost about 80% of my clients because everyone is worried what's gonna happen on the market. I have savings so I have been fine, but what concerns me is what's gonna happen if things don't get better by September. It's very difficult to stay optimistic these days😣

Wow Mel, that said it all when you mentioned being little and dealing with pushing the feelings down. That really hit home for me. Done it all my life and I think a big part of that is really not feeling the trust and true sincerity in most people so I just keep it all to myself so then I don’t need to deal with any disappointments. I’ve never had a problem really being alone where most people can’t handle it.

I can so relate to what she is feeling and dealing with. I just wanted to give her a hug. Guilt, fear and shame seem to be my constant companions no matter how hard I try to change it. How do you undo years of negative thoughts and words??? This was perfect timing for me Mel... thank you!!!

I love your channel Mel!You are a take no nonsense, tell it like it is and make a lot of sense in the shortest amount of time! I know many will benefit and walk away feeling so much lighter and filled with hope!

[tmc]

I wish I could hug this lady you're helping.

[mercedesrodriguez]

Thank you. Ruminating is my killer. I have chronic pain and on the days I have to rest, on a bad day, my mind starts blaming me and judging me like it just met me

[tmc]

I'm so happy I tuned in! My penpal friend Wes who has been incarcerated for 28 years told me about you. That it feels like you are talking right to him. I have to agree. You had me sobbing. Thank you💙💙💙💙

Thanks Mel and sweet, strong lady. 5 min vid and taught a lot.
Sweet lady: You have taken your power back! Get out in nature, stay away from news tv.
Only watch funny shows, or learning a new skill, paint, or cooking. Animals will help too if you can get one.

Power to all of you 💪 listening and watching this video ❤️. Thanks Mel 😊

You really do give amazing advice. I ruminate excessively and I have done it for years. Once I start to ruminate my mind goes down all kinds of rabbit holes and I can't even remember how I got there. Like I said, I have been doing it for years but it got so much worse after a very difficult relationship. I suppressed all of my feelings and thoughts and even needs just to try to keep peace. I wish I could get out of my own head too because it keeps me depressed. Thank you so much for doing these videos and sharing such great advice! ❤

I had to go back to work. It is now curbside pick up only and my anxiety level hit the roof at my 60 years of age. It is very hard for me to stop thinking about possibly getting infected. Thanks for listening and posting!

I just completed your 5 second rule book and l got more than I'd expected thank you I love you

[AnneandSteve]

Love that 5 second tip, such a quick and easy way to distance yourself from the thoughts and regain control.

[muzerhythm]

Thank You Rivki for being brave and sharing your story! 🎇😁🎇The shame about seeking treatment to take care of our mental health (along with ALL other stigma about mental health) is why I'm passionate about doing mental health awareness. To do talks to share my experience dealing with depression and anxiety, how I found coping skills, and how we can all support each other.

Ive been "stuck" and jobless for 7 years and this was the major cause for my depression besides all the hurt from the past of course.I had depression and suicidal thoughts and I overcame that and I feel much better! better than ever but the problem is that I still dont know how to find a job..unable to find my place in the world.Unable to move forward and I run from these feelings of not feeling capable of thriving and even talking about the subject makes me anxious cuz I feel like I confront the part of me that feels like "no I cant do it I cant be independent" "I cant create the financial life I want to have".When I was like 17 I felt I had no dream I was like you have said "paralized".When I started to realease my feelings through depression I felt like "omg Im alive" and it's been a journey of self discovery since then but this feeling of being stuck still hunts me since Im still here.I cant explain what I feel it's like I just feel so powerless and it's so strong and it hurts that my father the one that hurt me on the past is the one that most critisize for being who I am now.He just cannot understand 😥
