Thinking style is actually something that has been built up over time, definitely through past experiences, and sometimes present ones. We all have a point at which some events are almost certain to redefine our attitude, emotions and thought.
he focus his attention on his low mood, and has negative repetitive thoughts about its causes and consequences.
One of the things I have learnt about mexicans is that they dont focus on things/events that might call for low mood, instead they focus on enjoying the present. I am different in this aspect. Still trying to adapt that.
Not only do you need to reflect about what distresses you; but, you must.
I think this is something that needs to be cultivated as we cannot overcome them just in a moment.
Thank you for this wonderful post. I can basically see myself in the mirror of this post.
Hey @turpsy :)
It is nice to see your comment. I am glad you could relate to the post, and I hope it has brought you some insight. You are right! Reflecting about our own thoughts and behaviour is something that indeed comes with practice. I suppose that is why the Mexicans (and Brazilians) are good at it, it seems something that is passed on from generation to generation 😊
All the best to you and to your family 🌷
I like that kind of lineage transfer. I hope to develop that and pass it on as I grow much wiser. Thanks for the wishes.
