Up: [[Mind Awareness]] Created: 2022-11-03 Challenge distorted thoughts through reframing. #### Example If I get a serious illness, it will be totally my fault because of my life and food choices. #### Reframe Demetra took better care of her body than anyone I know, and she fought stage 4 uterine cancer. How would my life feel different if I knew or believed with absolute certainty that I have done nothing to my body that will change the date of my death; that I am free to choose however I wish to be in the world? When I imagine that, I get little glimpses of spaciousness, of an almost unbearable freedom and happiness. And I wonder, why wouldn’t I choose to live this way every day, to believe this every day. The more that negative thoughts are transformed into positive thoughts, the less flooding there will be of negative feelings.
