Trying to "get my life together" so my weeks were scattered with good habits and good intentioned but swamped with bad and destructive choices/habits. I was so in my head - I could not get out of my negative thoughts and feelings for the life of me. Trish has taught me it's not about the actions that go into "getting my life together" but the thought work behind the actions. One of my favorite lines taken from the show: "Your mind is your most valuable real estate and you decide what you build on it."  I didn't realize I actually had control of what comes in and what goes out until I started listening to Trish. When I actually started training my brain I realized she was right: it is ALL in your head, and thank God for that because I have the power! I am not a victim! God has without a doubt used her in the process of my mental healing (Also we are enneagram wing sisters, I'm a 4w4 and she's a 3w4 so that's cool). Thank you so much, Trish!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br>  <br> HOW TO GET OUT OF THE "CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK" THOUGHT LOOP<br>  <br> <br> <br> Techniques:Specify the exact thought loop and the exit ramp.Give people permission to think differently than you do.Assume the best.You can pick any thought, take power back.Go for a net positive result, instead of net negative.Since we don't know what people are thinking,
