☀️ Day 4: The Thought Reframing Challenge
Today, let’s try a small but powerful exercise that can help shift the way we think about challenges. We all have those automatic negative thoughts that sneak in — today, we’re going to gently change the lens and give them a new, kinder perspective. Activity: 1. Notice the Negative Thought Take a moment and write down one thought that keeps repeating in your mind today. Be honest. Example: “I’ll never finish this project.” 2. Add a “BUT” Statement Now, write the same sentence but add “BUT” and follow it with something positive, true, or actionable. Example: “I’ll never finish this project, BUT I can complete the first small step right now.” 3. Speak It Out Loud Say your new sentence out loud three times. Feel how it changes the energy of the thought. Reflection: How did it feel to reframe your thought? Did it bring a sense of relief, hope, or clarity? Even if it felt strange at first, that’s completely normal — it means your mind is learning a new pattern. 💡 Remember: You are not your negative thought. You are the one who can observe it, and you are the one who can change it.
