Thought Downloads
As we work together, I really encourage you to start doing daily Thought Downloads.
This can be done anytime, and is especially encouraged when you are feeling strong emotion such as when you’re anxious or overwhelmed, or when things are hard.
A thought download simply means writing down on paper all the thoughts spinning in your head, without judging, editing, or censoring them.
It doesn’t need to take more than five to 10 minutes. There is no right or wrong way to do it.
You can even use the note section on your phone.
The most important thing is to get the thoughts that are swirling around in your head out onto paper. This separates you from your thinking, and allows you to notice what is going on in your mind.
Find a quiet place and let it flow. Do not judge or censor your thoughts.
When you are finished, go through your list and circle everything that is a FACT (meaning that everyone would agree it is true).
Notice that all the sentences that remain are optional thoughts (even though sometimes they may feel like facts).
Choose one or two thoughts to use in your self-coaching model (See the Lesson on the MODEL) for more information).
