While watching the local news, I heard some words that reminded me of the bad thing that recently happened to me. For a good few minutes, my mind was racing, thinking about it, and I started to breathe shallowly. I want to stop this…
While searching the web for the answer, I found some techniques to stop thinking about something or someone. Most of the articles tell us to engage in a different activity to stop thinking about it. But this method won’t work if I am in meetings where I must remain in the current activity. So, I came up with my own remedy. I am going to erase the thought with an image – visualize a certain image powerful enough to override the thought. Right now my favorite is an angry honey badger, revealing all the teeth to show its contempt. After seeing a honey badger raise from a deadly cobra attack and walk away as if nothing happened, the honey badger is my symbol of resilience. My honey badger image will drive away from the bad thoughts for sure.
