Reconfiguring bad mental associations on just about anything?

Posted by abraham.williams@gmail.com on in General
I’m always digging into my psychology. Specifically, how I can continue to have new experiences and growth…mentally, physically and materially, and keep out of negative self-doubt cycles. When I say materially, I mean strong wealth for security in advanced age and not mansions, boats or range rovers. There are some situations that I’ve learned what I can from about what I need to change yet they repeat in my mind and waste my time before I catch them.

A trick I have just discovered is to revisit a previous bad experience and reimagine it as a cartoon or some kind of humorous event. For example, if the experience was with a person who put you down or rejected you, imagine the person as a walking turd with all the physical properties of a turd. Or imagine the person with huge ears twice as big as their head. It might sound nuts, but my mental effect of the situation changed when I did this. Maybe it wont’ last, I’m not sure yet.

However, I have tried applying it to current difficult situations and it just makes me laugh inside. Maybe it’s weird, but I like it. I’m going to play with it. Weird is also more fun than constant seriousness which I bet raises my cortisol levels and shortens lifespan.

    There are some easy-to-do dishes offering a lot of health insurance and weight-loss benefits.

    Hey there would you mind stating which blog
    platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
    I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs
    and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic
    but I had to ask!

    This will assure that the body gets each of the minerals and vitamins that
    it needs. By eliminating Gluten from your diet, we give our intestines a
    chance to get over the damage Gluten previously caused.

  4. how to lose 10 pounds a month for a year

    If I visited a nearby restaurant for lunch I would ask for
    a take out box at the start of my meal. It’s not difficult in order to meet
    unwanted weight target following the effective rules.
    That’s why you see some people overeat of processed foods and don’t get fat
    or people who eat hardly any yet still placed on weight.

  5. healthy eating and dieting articles

    Compare that to large amount of space you’re going to look at once you still
    keep using a big plate to your new reduced diet.
    Having good nutrition and doing the proper exercises is naturally essential.
    This is very good to improve the aerobic side in the body and ultimately increases number of air you’ll
    be able to inhale as well as you expend.
