Embracing Acceptance
Humans possess untapped potential, yet often waste energy resisting what cannot be changed. Recognizing and challenging mental resistance is crucial; our thoughts can skew perception, leading us to focus on negativity. Just as a search engine yields results based on queries, our minds will reflect the beliefs we feed them, highlighting the importance of cultivating a positive mindset.In this clip

I'm interested in learning about the process by which people can change their default automatic thoughts. 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." How can I break a negative thought process?
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?
