Addressing Feeling Trapped at Work

  • πŸ’‘ If new thoughts about work seem to stop working, it's likely because you've stopped practicing them rather than them losing effectiveness.
  • 🧠 To overcome the belief that you can't handle future challenges, interrogate your brain's arguments for why this might be the case, especially if you've overcome past difficulties.
  • πŸ“Œ Consider starting with a neutral thought like, "It's possible I can overcome challenges in the future," and then push your brain to justify its doubts.

Shifting from Victim Mode to Self-Management

  • 🎯 When you judge others for their unmanaged minds, you are also not managing your own mind, placing yourself in victim mode.
  • 🎭 Recognizing that others' unmanaged minds and your judgmental thoughts about them both stem from not managing your mind can foster compassion for yourself and others.
  • πŸ’¬ The resistance to being compassionate with people in "crisis mode" often reveals your own judgmental thoughts, potentially about yourself.
