Intrusive Thoughts & Overthinking: Separate Yourself from Your Thoughts

💡 Use this FREE 10 MIN GUIDED MINDFULNESS EXERCISE to immediately separate yourself from your thoughts: courses.juliakristina.com/Fre...
_______________
If you ever get stuck in overthinking a situation or struggling with intrusive thoughts this video is going to help you create space between you and your thoughts using the skill of cognitive diffusion. Using this skill is going to allow you to see beyond your thoughts instead of getting stuck in whichever one happens to pop into your brain.
Intrusive thoughts can be confusing, disturbing or painful and they can make you think there's something deeply wrong with you or that you are losing your mind - but neither of those things are true. Intrusive thoughts are something many, if not most people experience and they can be related to OCD, but they can also just come out of nowhere.
Overthinking is something that you might be dealing on its own, or it can also be associated with intrusive thoughts - especially if you find yourself stressing, obsessing or overthinking your intrusive thoughts.
In this video I'm going to teach you how to not get so caught up in either your intrusive thoughts or your tendency to overthink things by learning to create space between yourself and your thoughts using a skill called Cognitive Diffusion.

I read in the Bible this morning, "Take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ Jesus" Amen!

But how do you stop overthinking when you know your thoughts are true?....

[@rogeliocamarenajr.714]

I think most times is not about a cognitive coping skill. Most times is a dysregulated nervous system (your body) sends those thoughts to your mind. Therefore a somatic skills need to be put in place. Respectfully, My point of view.

I really love this video!! My biggest struggle lately has been if I notice a pretty girl and notice my husband looking at her, it automatically makes me super insecure and my mind goes to town with so many awful thoughts. I wish you can make a video specifically for married couples💕. Thank you for all you do!!

I love the silly voices idea. I immediately went to helium balloons in my head. Like, writing negative thoughts down and reading them off in helium speak. Just like Bogarts in Harry Potter, seeing them in a silly light takes away their power. Brilliant!

I have been falsely accused of doing something by people that don’t know me! This has had such a negative impact on me. I have been un-able to stop the intrusive thought from playing on a loop over and over. Even feeling guilty for something I didn’t do! How ridiculous is that!? “It’s just a thought, Is this thought helpful?” Absolutely not! Thank you!

[@c004857]

I am this! My thoughts run crazy then I believe them until I become a nervous, worried wreck.

What if it’s a scary thought that just pops into your head? My daughter is pregnant and and I was at work and the thought “what if she dies giving birth” popped into my head and I was like “what the heck!” I don’t want to think this.

I’m Gertrude from Ghana. I’m new here . I need to manage my anger or I may lose all my relationships 😢

[@jason_a_smith_gb]

I just think, “This thought is not for the greater good, go away!” and it does.

Hi Julia! Senior Shifter Chris here!

[@daniellejones6339]

Love this! ❤️ I feel like I latch on to my first negative intrusive thoughts. I catastropize.

[@heaven7360]

I need to listen to videos such as this to keep reminding me of what's going on. I'm grateful for your clear and confident explanation!
