Language and Reality
Fighting against something only strengthens it; focusing on positive ideals yields better results. Language shapes our consciousness, and using precise words can prevent misunderstandings and self-deception. The ego often tricks us into making excuses or avoiding accountability, highlighting the importance of integrity in our communication.In this clip

I'm interested in learning about the process by which people can change their default automatic thoughts as discussed in the episode The Secret to Getting Things Done & The Brain Fog Fix - SYSK Choice and the clip Overcoming Negative Thinking. From what I understand, the process of change involves paying attention to your thoughts, noticing when they aren't aligned with the future you want, and choosing to challenge and replace those thoughts. For example, if you have the default thought "I'm not smart enough" and want to become a more confident person, you would acknowledge the thought, challenge it by saying "No, that's a lie," and replace it with "Actually, I'm very smart, and I choose to believe I'm smart." Is that enough over time to weaken the connections of the original thought and establish the new thought as the default? How does that happen? Is it through long-term repetition, or by adding another thought immediately after the one you wish to erase or replace?
