Two weeks ago I read that a negative thought can linger in our minds for up to 24 hours, while a positive one lasts only about 8 - and so aiming for a 3:1 minimum ratio helps rewire. Sort of the grounds of meditation, but numerically. Since then, a friend and I have been sharing our three positives of the day almost every night, whether big or small. Simple, but meaningful 💜 What are your three positives today? #asknostr

Today I woke up 🥳 I've gotten to do a peaceful morning routine while my puppy is still sleepy 🥳 and I'm about to make some coffee 🥳 Little positive things still count. But I have faith the day will bring me even more 🥰

Love this! I try to take the time to notice beautiful moments. My phone is full of pictures of flowers, or a tree with the backdrop of a pretty cloud, a cat sleeping on the sidewalk, etc. But persistent negative thoughts are often the result of negative subconscious beliefs and require some deep, intentional, re-wiring.
neat observation. it is good to develop agency in terms of the thoughts that inhabit your mind. they can be good tenants that maintain or even improve the place, or dirty squatters who lead to its degradation
