Lesson Overview
1.7 – Spotting Negative Thought Patterns About Change: Negative thinking often hides in automatic self-talk like “I can’t handle this.” Spotting these loops helps break their control. Thoughts influence feelings, which then shape behavior. Identifying negativity early lets you rewrite the story before panic grows. Mindfulness and journaling reveal repeated doubts. Replacing fear-based statements with empowering truths builds confidence. Change doesn’t shrink you—it tests you. Spotting harmful thoughts allows you to challenge them with logic and compassion. Every positive reframe weakens resistance and strengthens resilience for the next transition.
