How to Challenge and Change Negative Thinking
w/ Celeste The Therapist
The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.
In this inaugural episode of "What's On Your Mind Wednesdays," I, Celeste, a therapist from Boston, delve into the common struggle of dealing with negative thoughts. I discuss the importance of understanding where these thoughts originate, whether from past experiences, societal pressures, or unprocessed events, and how they can become ingrained as facts in our minds.
I emphasize the power of pausing to identify and challenge these thoughts, the significance of recognizing our feelings and where they manifest in our bodies, and the necessity of seeking evidence that supports or refutes these negative beliefs. I also touch on the impact of stress on our physical health and the importance of self-love and kindness, drawing insights from Bell Hooks' book "All About Love."
Throughout the episode, I offer practical advice on how to shift our thinking and empower ourselves. I suggest writing down our thoughts to diminish their power, questioning the evidence behind them, and intentionally creating new, positive habits. I reassure listeners that change is possible at any stage of life and encourage them to believe in their ability to transform their mindset.
