Wellbeing: Replacing negative thought patterns
Useful tips from the Mental Health Foundation.
"It’s natural to have negative thoughts sometimes. But if you get stuck in a pattern of negative thinking, it can harm your mental health and self-esteem.
Your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected, so how you think also affects how you feel and behave.1 That’s why learning how to think in healthier ways can make a big difference to your overall wellbeing.
Changing thought patterns begins with being open-minded about the things you previously assumed to be true about yourself. Practising curiosity can help us re-imagine how we see ourselves, and the world, and open us up to new opportunities, challenges, and perspectives."
