RE: STOP! Overthinking! It's Ruining Your Life

Negative loop is a common condition, something happens at work, school or home and it will take half a day to fade .
Job interviews are also one that gets a lot of people in a twist. I was once told just imagine they are taking a dump as you sit in front of the interviewer and try not to laugh.

I love that you call it a negative loop! Thats exactly what it is.
OMG taking a dump? Thats one I haven't heard before LOL.

Negative loop is a term that Dr Maxwell Maltz penned in his book Psycho Cybernetics. It's a classic self help book, he talks about self image 'dehypnotising yourself from false beliefs', the power of rational thinking etc.

I find myself saying 'negative loop' whenever I think it might have a foothold. It's a good key to remind you that it is a falsehood that must not take control. Your covering some important evergreen topics Kaylin, keep em coming :)
