SELF HYPNOSIS

a couple months ago i hurt myself and was in a negative head space and then someone irl recommended listening to these random youtube videos that basically repeat positive affirmations over and over. like “everything is working out for me, i am lucky, etc…” so rather than saying “i‘m in pain” i replaced it with “i will heal.” sometimes it feels like delusional optimism and sometimes it feels silly because it’s almost like having the inner dialogue of someone with a massive ego. but the idea is to try and drown out negative self speak and replace the mindset. the repetition is so constant that it basically drowns out the bad thoughts so when the audio ends you can’t help but feel recalibrated and carry yourself with more confidence and ease, subduing the doubts and anxiety

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR

helps with calibration. Start with 2-5 minutes of blankness—in the beginning, I wouldn’t do it for too long if you easily dissociate—when certain emotions, thoughts, actions come up you restart “the timer.” They’ll try to creep back in.. You may notice your features, remember incomplete tasks, etc. keep clearing… until it's you and your reflection. After finishing, everything cleared rushes in and that's when you create something to honor the energy allowing it to exist outside of you. I learned this from behavioral training and years of trial-and-error coping mechanisms… all the research I looked into kept saying look inwards. I added the mirror part similar to mirror exposure therapy, like looking into a lake, because it’s easy to go in when you can see the outside inside.

Self compassion: an antidote to shame

This vid popped up on the sidebar of an NBA dunks highlight video and changed my life. Seriously The premise of the lecture is that we can learn to provide ourselves with the compassion we want from other people to alleviate shame. There is a great exercise at the end that teaches you how to identify the physiological signs of shame which I have already found super helpful in stopping myself from spiralling into shame before it happens. I have felt so weird going through my regular life feeling like a different person after watching this and not knowing how to express that to people. I've made progress in deconstructing shame in the past few years but it never clicked until I saw this. I hope it helps someone else the way it helped me
