Such great advice to notice and be thankful for the small things. I said to my eldest son once, life isn’t all fireworks - sometimes the best part of your day will be when you’re driving and someone lets you into their lane, and you give them a wave of thanks. Noticing those small moments is what living is about. In that moment you’re like, thank you 🤩 to that driver and take a moment be thankful for the little things in life 😊
Thank you so much for this. I have cptsd and bpd I am 54 and struggle terribly. This really helps.
Glad it was helpful!
so hefpful and thank you for positive energy so much hhhhh
Well, seeing as how I feel like shit, it's Summer, temps over 100° & I CAN'T walk too far, the answer's a LOUD & RESOUNDING NO!!! Nice try tho! 👍
It's really a helpful video, thank you so much ❤
Glad it was helpful!
But like how can I just gaslight myself and pretend like sleep deprivation doesn’t increase likelihood of disease when it’s does?? 😂😢
Helpful video. Thanks
I was so depressed yesterday ... did nothing all day... felt like crap. This morning... I got up... procrastinated a bit and finally settled on forcing myself to do a 18 mile round bicycle trip to my neighbouring village. It was pretty dull although the weather was nice. And it was extremely hard work, physically. Wasnt nice at the time... but.... but. Im at home now, chilling... and I dont feel half as depressed as i did yesterday. All in all... result.
thank you
As scary as it is, it makes me feel better I'm not the only one who goes through this. We will make it through guys. ❤
Damn you white bear, popping up everywhere I went.
Thanks
🫶
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
THANK YOU THANKS A TON
Thank you. This message should be put on billboards...ALL OVER THE WORLD.
this is something that I can really use to work on. I struggle to identify how I feel which keeps me from accepting my emotions. the kettle heats up and I blow my lid!
Very helpful
Try to be a little bit active
Thank you for this wonderful video. I never realized that I have been thinking in such a manner and that it is actually a distortion in thinking until my therapist pointed out recently. To everyone viewing this video, I hope all of us work towards dealing with this type of thinking and making progress (and just as a reminder, it is okay to not completely stop this pattern of thinking immediately and slowly make good enough progress :))
Thanks,so very clear !
Thanks so much for helping. I’m all alone right now and this was a great comfort ❤
I've done all that, typing this afternoon going for a run. I still feel lousy.
So I have a question? What is better really for anxiety and depression is it meditation where you just observe your thoughts or is it CBT techniques like challenging your thoughts and questioning the thoughts? Sometimes I think meditation is good to calm you down this feeling better but doesn’t really change core beliefs but in the other side of the coin CBT I feel like just adds extra thoughts to the excessive amount of thoughts an anxious or depressed person is having like rumination for example
You're right. Some people do find CBT techniques to challenge negative thoughts lead to rumination or more worrying and find it more helpful to just observe these thoughts mindfully. Other people are very resistant to the idea of just letting thoughts go without doing anything about them, or feel like it's impossible to do. Personally I use them both together, taking a few moments to reframe any negatively biased thoughts, and then just letting them go. Regarding changing core beliefs, this can be really difficult if we're feeling strong emotions at the time. It's generally more effective to examine core beliefs when we're not currently feeling anxious or depressed for example.
@@SelfHelpToons ok thanks for replying. I’m currently going through a weird mindset these couple of years. I started ruminating during a relationship that wasn’t working out. Over time I left the relationship and the ruminating subsided and I thought it had disappeared. I still experienced anxiety from time to time but no longer was ruminating. A couple of years later I was reading a book about happiness from the Dalai Lama and in the book it talked about how happiness comes from within and not outside of us. This made me really confused because to me happiness was hanging out with friends and family, doing things I enjoyed etc… and now this person is telling me that my happiness shouldn’t depend on the external things. I got so confused about this idea that I began ruminating and it the idea that happiness doesn’t come from outside made me feel really disconnected with the world. The ruminating lasted for months, just constantly having obsessive thoughts about happiness. I then started to look up some more information about happiness and everywhere I looked it said the same as the book that happiness comes from within and shouldn’t depend on the things outside of me. Like they say in spirituality or Buddhism that we should detach ourselves from material things. This idea of detachment makes me feel very disconnected with life. Even still today. My rumination has gotten to the point now where if I don’t know something I’ll ruminate about it for days,weeks or months. I’d ruminate about a show I watched, a new city I’m in, I’d ruminate if god is real or about the fact that in spirituality they say that we are all the same being and that the “universe/cosmic energy/higher power” is the exact same in every person therefore even tho we think differently and look differently. At our core we are exactly the same. Which sounds like it’s nice but the way I see it is that means I am my mum, I am my friend, I am my future partner, I am my kids, etc… because according to spirituality we are different souls we are just one soul that’s has divided itself. It’s like what I thought reality was is now completely flipped upside down and I can’t make sense of reality anymore. I feel like I’m experiencing DRDP and that I could potentially have existential OCD which would make sense. I am seeing a therapist at the moment as well for all this and we talked about core beliefs and where maybe my anxiety started from. Which is why I commented earlier because I’m stuck between what’s going to be the most beneficial for me as today you hear to just observe your thoughts and feelings ( you are not your thoughts and your are not your emotions ) where as the more scientific side say to challenge your thoughts and to feel your emotions and that your emotions are signs that something isn’t right or true to oneself.
Thank you for sharing these videos❤. Thanks for caring.
When people show pity or cares about me, I consider it as a prove that I'm not doing enough. Now I started thinking that I'm not worthy of any kind of interaction.
if you don't have friends, dogs, girlfriend or family......just go for a lonely walk.......knowing you'll always be by yourself
Wow first time was 35 second hold and the second hold was 66. 😮 I love these videos!!!!!!
THANKS DEAR, LOVE FROM PAKISTAN.
Omg !!!!! Brilliant! This is what we must teach children and adults! Practical value for those who don’t understand why they feel well.
thank you
I lost my job and my home but i could get to sleep because i had different thoughts than insomnia
I REALLY needed this, T.Y.🙌 ...predisposition and Stress.. I couldn't tolerate.!! Sept-Nov: Became empty nester, Lost my life savings, Lost my Dream career job i loved, and🥀My Grandma, Uncle and his son Died..! I've been mentally sick with Stress, Anxiety, Insomnia and Depression. Lost 32 lbs, and my eyesight went bad. I just stay in the apt, and suffer 24/7... for 8 months now. Having S.I. everyday... i need to somehow hang on.
Isn’t this like gaslighting yourself? Where do you draw the line between “this is a thought I can let go” and “this is reality and is affecting me”?
I wish my parents taught me this but I am learning for myself ❤
awesome. thank you :)
It's really helping me! Thank you!
It gives an explanation of how thoughts, feelings, sensations and actions interact...but what about how to reverse this?
