Stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and negativity? We ask transformation coach Tara Rafter how we can start practising gratitude in an impactful way to fi
nd joy again.
Lots of people I chat with are afraid they will get journaling wrong and from what I’ve seen, you can’t as long as you’re being honest. I keep it really simple, I find it best before I go to sleep I write down the word “thoughts” and I write down really briefly what thoughts are in my mind.
Affirmations are really powerful because the language contained in them especially an “I am” statement has a powerful emotional and sometimes physiological response in the body, but from what I’ve seen, to truly feel the benefit of them you must run them alongside the action, which compliments or aligns to them. When we say “I am enough” we can’t expect change when we continue to move through the world exactly the same way, day in and day out, with no change to echo the affirmation.
According to a study done in 2020, we have on average 6,000 thoughts a day. Your brain pretty much has one overall job and that’s to keep you alive so it is going to pay the closest attention to the “negative” thoughts in case they hold potential danger. I think knowing that is so helpful; it’s like a security guard in there tracking for danger all the time.
