Declutter Your Mind

Through various mindfulness practices and practical habits, you can disempower your thoughts and have more “space” in your mind to enjoy inner peace and happiness.

While the negativity bias is real, it isn’t impervious to your efforts for change and self-awareness.

Start by becoming aware of your thoughts. Separate your “self” from your thoughts, and just observe what is going on in your mind.

Rather than allowing “all or nothing” thinking to have a free pass, challenge these negative thoughts whenever they occur.

When you find yourself struggling and ruminating, stop for a moment and simply say, “I accept this situation is happening.”

Acceptance of a situation doesn’t mean you avoid action. It means you don’t blindly fight and claw to escape.

You put yourself in a state of mind that allows you to take correct and useful action.

When your thoughts are cluttered, do something positive that will distract you from negative thoughts.

One of the first mindful actions you could take is to define your values and priorities for the next year.

The key to creating an attainable goal is to look at your current life and set an objective that seems slightly beyond your reach.

Rather than looking to others to make relationship changes, the best place to start is within you.

Empathic (or active) listening is a willingness to step outside of your distracted mind and listen to their words in a non-judgmental way.

We recommend paying close attention to what you say during a conversation, particularly in your love relationship.
