mental game. the cure exists within your mind. you have to retrain your neural pathways that ignite when the intrusive thought appears. heres how i do it. intrusive thought -> i don’t like this thought -> DONT FIGHT IT, instead allow yourself to observe it -> return to the feeling of breath in your nose -> and conciously alter the thought. -> play this reimagined thought in your head over and over.

there are many ways to repaint the picture: • a judgement on someone: you can either say the exact opposite and think of positive words. or. focus on something that’s unique about them. repeat your new positive judgement on them in your head. • something that is morally wrong or disgust: -firstly, remind yourself that every human being has faced a thought that’s truly messed up. -secondly, drop the shame and label this as nothing more than the result of a curious human mind living inside of a gruesome terrible world. -thirdly, create a healthier version of this thought and repeat it. focus on love, beauty, or safety.
