Going on walks has been one of the most therapeutic habits for me in the past 7 years. Sure throwing on a podcast is cool, but the real benefit is actually when your mind isn’t stimulated by anything. Just a walk where you’re alone with your surroundings and your thoughts. Thoughts that have been sitting in the background get to come to surface. You get the opportunity to face things you’ve been overthinking, and experience anxieties you’ve been suppressing. The main idea here is that when we overthink and have anxiety, our being is trying to communicate something. It’s inviting us to fix a problem or pay attention to how we feel about something. If you continue to ignore these signals, then these internal attitudes might intensify. You’ll overthink more and have more anxiety. To me, overthinking is an inefficient, automatic problem solving method that our minds resort to. (It’s a spectrum but it’s very common). Even if it’s inefficient though, it’s still a method nonetheless, because there’s no other stronger alternative (since you’re not offering a different problem solving method to your mind). In fact, your method may be suppression or avoidance. (which may make the situation worse). As uncomfortable as it is to face your internal thoughts and anxieties, you’ll likely feel better after doing so. BUT you’re more likely to address these attitudes when you’re not overly stimulated or distracted but media. Something similar happens when you sit in a room quietly with your own thoughts. When my inner world became a safe place to express my opinions, anxieties, frustrations, and problems—I started to grow a closer relationship with myself. I trusted myself more. One of the benefits of therapy is creating a safe space to express. This safe space can happen internally. You just have to train yourself to create it. But this won’t happen if you’re too distracted. Just like it’s hard to get good sleep in a highly noisy environment. - Jem Veda

Our cages are highly mental. Overcoming your own limitations means seeing how much freedom and power you actually have. Your beliefs need to be a balance of accuracy and what serves you. Accurate beliefs help you be more objective and understand how people, the world and the universe works. Self-serving beliefs empower you to make change and better your life. It does you no good to think that you’re a loser even if you have evidence of it. This will only disempower you, leaving you with no internal motivation to change your life. Self-serving beliefs need to be steered toward what you want. So think and feel “I’m a winner.” The evidence of such a thing will come more and more after your belief in it does. Accurate beliefs keep you grounded in the laws, facts, and true experiences of life. Self-serving beliefs empower you even when there’s “nothing for you to feel empowered about.” There’s a serious power in being practical AND “delusional.” We all have some degree of delusion. But too many people use this super power of delusion against themselves. Do you know how many real world creations we take for granted that had a degree of delusion when it was first made? These inventors had both accurate thinking/beliefs (based on their expertise) and self-serving beliefs (“I am totally capable of achieving this invention successfully.”) Positive self-serving beliefs are about self-efficacy. Balance these two types of beliefs and you’ll really be unstoppable. - Jem Veda
