App: 15 Minutes A Day to Overwrite Negative Thoughts
/I've been dragging my feet on meditating lately. I know 110% that it would benefit me. But sometimes humans are stubborn and won't pick up the tools we know will help (same with exercise and nutrition for a lot of folks).
So when Peter told me about this app offering a 30-day free trial of daily positive affirmations I was intrigued. I've been listening to one or two a day for a week and I am starting to notice a difference. I've said for years that my "worst" time of day is from 5a-6a as I transition from home to work. It's just my most stressful hour when I notice my worst, most anxious attitude. So I started listening then. It's very calming and I love that you don't have to focus on it. You're encouraged to just play it in the background and go about your tasks.
It feels a little silly at first, but I recognize that's part of the negative programming in my brain. I appreciate the science and research behind this idea and how it leverages the brain's neuroplasticity to pre-program negative patterns. Two thumbs up! Let's get some positive self-talk going in 2024! If you try it please let me know what you think!
