Does it feel like your mind has been taken over by a ticker tape of negative thoughts? Do you just keep thinking the same gloomy things over and over again? That is a definite sign of a MENTAL HANGOVER.
While a physical hangover is caused by ingesting garbage into our bodies and an emotional hangover comes from not allowing yourself to let go of past actions, a mental hangover is caused by not releasing garbage from our minds.
The next time that train of negative thoughts starts up I invite you to ask yourself:
“Is this thought HELPING me or HARMING me?”
If it’s harming you, I also invite you to take these 3 steps:
- Take the 10 seconds
- Take a deep breath
- Take a DO-OVER
Don’t ever forget that you can take a do-over any time!
I’d love to hear how taking these steps has helped you to get rid of your mental hangover. Send me an email ([email protected]) and let me know how you feel after kicking those garbage thoughts to the curb, where they belong.
BE more kind to yourself.
BE more compassionate.
Be more forgiving.
Be more loving.
Remember, you are a Powerhouse.
Wishing you a joyful week.
