SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - GETTING OUT OF THE LOOP

Why hold onto self defeating beliefs - especially once you realize how toxic they are?

We've all heard people say negative things about themselves, ignoring any information that points in a different direction.

Haven't you wondered about this?

There has to be a payoff, right?

So, next time you're caught in a self defeating loop ask yourself: 'What is believing this actually doing for me?' 

'Is it protective?  Is it trying to get me to look at something that I am avoiding?'

It truly is a part of human nature to go in the direction of rewards - even when we might not see them!

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

TO GET OUT OF THE LOOP TAKE THESE 4 STEPS:

1)  Find your negative loops:  What do you keep saying about yourself? 

        I'm lazy

        I'm not likable

        I'm mean, selfish, unlovable, not skilled…

2)  Find the 'proof' you use to reinforce the loop.

        I don't have as many friends as others

        I don't make as much money as others

        I get involved with people who are not good for me

3)  Ask yourself when you started believing this about yourself.

        Who might have introduced you to this way of thinking?

4)  Finally ask yourself what might change in your life if you got out of the loop?
