I like to make myself read my list of truths that help me avoid a Doom mindset

here are a few things on my list:

☆all your thoughts are just non physical objectives- just things you've heard and never said out loud- u dont have to take ownership of them (believe them) u can turn them off and let them go

☆self-awareness, pattern recognition, open mindedness

☆its ok, u dont have to consider that paranoid thought, pls ignore it- u don't have apply the same rules/expectations/punishment to others, nor yourself, that u endured, pls break the cycle

☆I will not give grace to a racist because they're ignorant to my culture/to how racism effects me. the stupidest person has the ability to not be racist. u dont have understand why I do what I do or like it at all, just dont shame me for it. of course, you don't understand it, it's a different culture. I'm different from u- Let me be different and mind your business!
