  • sonalikane9has quoted6 months ago
    practicing the dichotomy of control is to develop the habit of constantly asking oneself whether a given situation or circumstance is under their control.

    Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can lie down or sit without distractions. You can use a yoga mat, a cushion, or a chair for support. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, letting go of any tension in your body. Start by focusing your attention on your toes. Pay attention to any sensations you may be feeling in your toes, such as warmth, tingling, or tension. Don't judge or analyze the sensations—simply observe them.

    Slowly move your attention to the rest of your feet, noticing any sensations or feelings. Continue to move your attention up your legs, to your thighs, hips, lower back, abdomen, chest, arms, hands, neck, and finally your head. Spend a few moments on each body part, being aware of any sensations or feelings that arise. If you notice any tension or discomfort, simply acknowledge it and let it go, without trying to change or fix it. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your attention back to the present moment and continue with the body s

    Step 1 of practicing dichotomy

  • Angelica Elaishahas quotedyesterday
    One effective technique for self-distancing is to take a break and gain actual physical or temporal distance from the situation.
  • Angelica Elaishahas quotedyesterday
    Remember, psychological distance is all about creating mental space between yourself and the problem by looking at it objectively rather than emotionally.
  • Angelica Elaishahas quotedyesterday
    Nonjudgmental thinking also enables people to accept their thoughts and feelings without shame or guilt, allowing them to move forward and let go of any negative or limiting beliefs.
  • Angelica Elaishahas quotedyesterday
    Negative judgment: "I'm always so disorganized and messy. I'll never be able to keep my space clean and tidy."

    Step 1: Describe the judgment

    "I often judge myself for being disorganized and messy. I tend to label myself negatively and feel like I'll never be able to keep my space clean and tidy."

    Step 2: How I feel about the judgment

    "Whenever I make this judgment, I feel overwhelmed and frustrated. I also feel like I'm not good enough or capable of achieving what I want. This negative self-talk just makes me feel worse and less motivated to take action."

    Step 3: What life would look like without this judgment

    "If I could let go of this judgment and negative self-talk, I might feel more at ease and motivated to make changes. I could focus on taking small steps toward organizing my space, instead of feeling overwhelmed by the idea of being perfectly clean and tidy. By recognizing my progress and celebrating small victories, I might feel more positive and capable of achieving my goal."

    Nonjudgmental thinking is the act of observing and recognizing one’s thoughts without attaching any labels or opinions to them.
  • Angelica Elaishahas quotedyesterday
    Life is unpredictable, and sometimes things just don't go according to plan. When faced with circumstances that might seem out of one’s control, it's important to remember that not everything is entirely within one’s grasp.
