How to stay positive when your brain is trying to destroy you.

The Ginger Womble 10 tips to positive thinking

1. Believe you are good enough- I know it sounds simple but I can honestly say I forever think no matter what I do is good enough. But who am I trying to be good enough for? Me? Or other people. I ONLY NEED TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!!!.

2. Know that today is just a bad head day it won’t last forever- I know it’s difficult when you’re in this kind of mood but it honestly can’t last forever you just feel like it could

3. Do something that makes you happy- a favourite food, a funny video, a bath bomb whatever it maybe it will give a short rest bite to your overthinking brain

4. Avoid social media- yes, I’ve said it, its so easy to vent on socials about how your feeling but honestly it will just make you feel worse. I know if I’m feeling pants about the way I look, scrolling through photoshopped images of girls on Instagram is the last thing I need to see.

5. Have meaningful conversations about your feelings with someone you trust. - like they say a problem shared is a problem halved (sometimes just hearing your thoughts out loud can change how you feel about them)

6. Its ok to cry-I always feel better after a good sob fest. I believe holding it back is what causes more issues than having a cheeky cry in the car to a bit of Whitney!

7. Remember how far you have come- whether it be career, relationships or personal life just look back at how much you have achieved.

8. Be kind to yourself for a change- I’m the first to put myself down but I always try to find one thing about myself that I like- whether it’s the shoes I’m wearing, how my hair looks etc its me seeing the positives in me

9. Stay busy with work/fitness/hobbies- the art of distraction is a very powerful one- find success in something your passionate about and funnel your negative thoughts into personal drive!

10. Don’t Shut down!!!!!- I know easily said than done right? Don’t close yourself off as a “self-preservation exercise” because I know better than most it doesn’t work. Be open, be honest and be true to your feelings. Share your thoughts!!!
