You know how on Snapchat there are filters that can change your voice? You record yourself, and then listen back, and your voice is changed to sound funny?
Next time your thoughts are telling you something negative, try to say the thought out loud using a voice filter. Or just record yourself on your phone saying the thought in a funny voice.
Sometimes it can feel like we don't have a choice about what we think.
It can feel like our thoughts "just happen." And, in a way they do. They're often automatic.
But not all thoughts are true. And, you are not your thoughts.
Putting some space between you and your thoughts can be helpful. Then, you can start to see that there might be other ways to look at a situation.
Hearing your thoughts in a cartoonish bunny voice can help you remember that not all thoughts are facts. Why not try it now?
