Toxic Habits


#189

How emotionally intelligent people reframe toxic mental habits:
  1. Avoid being caught in the addictive downward spiral of unproductive thinking
  2. Instead of desiring to be validated by those around you, become aware of the unrealistic thinking and check to see if you're happy with what you're doing
  3. Allow yourself to be okay with failing and making mistakes. Remind yourself that no one is perfect and that not making mistakes does not deem someone worthy
  4. Instead of punishing yourself for doing a stupid thing, learn to forgive yourself and do better next time
  5. Make your mind understand that sometimes things go wrong and it's okay
  6. Change the 'I've always been this way' attitude to a 'People can and do change if they work at it and I can try to do the same' mindset
  7. Instead of depending on others to make you happy, decide what's best for you
  8. Rather than avoiding facing problems in the hope that they'll go away, face the problem, accept your role in it, and look for solutions to better the situation
