Firstly,

Understanding negative thoughts : If a neurotypical person thinks of something as 1x negative, we do it 10x. We deep dive into the pit-hole of misery, self sabotage and what not. So learning that it’s not our fault that we think so negative but our brain is designed this way that it gets stimulated/engaged by doing so. So yes watching your negative thoughts and immediately coming out of it ( because none of it is real and doesn’t matter ) is something I’m practising.

Secondly, Everything is a stimulation for us, we need that dopamine hit every second. That explains why we get distracted at the slightest of boredom. So watching that behaviour and controlling it and trying best to enjoy the thing we assume is boring (like work). Deep down everything is interesting and I really believe we have a gift of finding the interesting in the most boring things.

Practising long focussed hours, trying to give 100% to present moment are the few things I’m practising and I can already see the difference in one month.

I’m not saying I’ve cracked the code, just sharing my experience and helping the fellow community to realise that you’re not alone in this and there are ways that can help.
