Here is something to remind yourself, a quote that I loved and a question to ask yourself for this week…
Something to remind yourself…
I.
Being detached from your thoughts is life-changing. Why? Because your thoughts are not facts—they’re just mental chatter shaped by your past experiences, fears, and beliefs. Psychology shows we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, most of them repetitive and often negative. Imagine letting every one of those thoughts control you. Exhausting, right?
Detachment isn’t about controlling your thoughts, it’s about stopping them from controlling you. As someone who works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I often guide clients to step back and observe their thoughts without attaching meaning or reacting impulsively. It’s about recognizing, “Oh, there’s that thought again,” instead of thinking, “This means something about me,” or, “I need to act on this.” Just let it go.
Learn to challenge automatic negative thoughts and see them for what they are, just passing clouds in the sky of your mind. When you detach, you create space: space to decide which thoughts deserve your energy, to respond intentionally instead of reacting, and to reframe unhelpful narratives into ones that serve you.
II.
Normalize talking highly about yourself.
