What if you could change your thinking right in the middle of a thought you do not want to be thinking? It is one thing to move toward gratitude when you wake up and press play on a meditation. It is another when you are fired up and off to the races in your mind. This short talk is about catching yourself there. I share a simple practice I call the Consciousness Reset: Recognize the pattern, Stop going down that road, and Think something different. Instead of "I always make the same mistake," you choose "I am a work in progress." This is not denial. Some negative emotions are red flags. But the self-doubt, the fear of the unknown, the discomfort with being uncomfortable, those we can learn to reframe. Progress over perfection, one caught thought at a time.

What if you could change your thinking right in the middle of thinking something you don't want to be thinking? It's one thing to be able to change our thoughts when we wake up in the morning and we listen to a meditation and we move towards gratitude and appreciation or letting go and trusting the universe. But it's a whole other thing when we're in the middle of some negative thought that really has us fired up emotionally. So how do we change our thinking then? When it really counts. Well, First of all, Why does it really count? Why does it matter so much what we think? It matters because how we think determines how we feel. So if we want to feel better, We have to think the kinds of thoughts that will help us feel better. But what we think also matters because how we think and feel matters. Determines what we experience in our lives. Call it manifestation, The law of attraction, New thought. There is a direct correlation between what we choose to think and feel and what shows up in our experience. So how do we change our thinking when we're in the middle of thinking some negative thought? We do it by catching ourselves in that negative thought. Use what I call the consciousness reset. Three letters, R-S-T. R stands for recognize the pattern. Can you recognize what you're doing, That you're off to the races, Going down some negative road in your mind? S, Stop. Just stop going down that negative road. I know it's easier said than done, But the more you work through this, The easier it becomes. And T, Then T is think something different. So choose to think a different thought. For example, Instead of saying, I always make the same mistake. See if you can say. . . I'm a work in progress. And just leave it at that. I'll wrap up by just saying one more thing. This isn't about being in denial. Negative emotions are like red flags trying to get our attention. And sometimes we need to pay attention. But I'm talking about those negative emotions we know aren't serving us, Things like feelings of self-doubt or fear of the unknown or feeling uncomfortable with being uncomfortable. Choose to stop going down those roads and intentionally reframe how you view things by choosing to think something different. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video today. I'm Elia Grace, And until next time, Trust in your practice and in your own inner guidance and allow the universe to work its magic.
