― Florence Scovel Shinn
I love that idea - that repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.  I can't always control my thoughts, and sometimes my thoughts are not fun.  But I can try to replace them, and sometimes I just talk louder than my thoughts and drown them out!Here is the first exercise from my book This Way Up: Seven Tools for Unleashing Your Creative Self and Transforming Your Life - from Part Two - The Workbook - Week One, Day Three.This exercise is about replacing negative self-chatter with deliberate, conscious words.  When I'm feeling really scared and small, and fear is all I can feel, sometimes I stomp my feet and yell the words!  . . . *yeah and it's true - sometimes I just curl up in fetal position and hide...  But when I am able to unfurl from fetal, then I stomp my feet and yell!Here is the exercise from the workbook - Week One - Day Three.I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it helps. [embed]https://youtu.be/X3OfO5JSBdI[/embed] Please let me know if it is helpful at all for you in replacing negative chatter.  And as always thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
