Thank you, Julia Kristina! I very much struggle with intrusive thoughts, overthinking, ruminating about the past, and projecting into the future. I need to work the tools that you presented today. Thanks for the ’10-Minute Guided Mindfulness Audio’!
I. No what you saying. Bin to hospital 2. Times. Thought it was my heart but not its angzerty. Now I just switch off the mind. Nothing else a con do. Good luck my friend. From Lancashire England UK pendle witches country 🇬🇧🙏🧙♀️
Such good information here. My gf has to remind me to stop over thinking everything. To take what she says/writes for what it is. No other meaning behind it. She says I overanalyze too much. I can’t seem to help it. I’m currently in therapy and working on it. Over a year now and it is helping. It’s almost like a thought process reset. I think of it as a ‘hard reset’ on an iPhone. The visual I get from that helps me to remember; my thoughts are not always what’s really happening or what’s really being said.
I haven’t watched this all yet but I’m 1000% going to. Obsessive/intrusive thoughts are some of my biggest OCD struggles. It’s debilitating more often than not so I always appreciate these types of videos. People don’t realize that a lot of the struggles with OCD are internal so to speak, and not SEEN.
I'm too scared to cry when I get these intrusive scary thoughts. When they get less then I feel like crying. Happens normally in public places. On the train back from my parents and been off medication for a while now but I can't go back to square 1 again. I just can't!
Hello follower s and Julia s community spreading care support and advice to anyone who needs it hope everyone finds this video as good and helpful as I do 💖
I have a totally different view on intrusive thoughts. I had looping ocd intrusive thoughts ptsd triggers. we can fully recover from them. it just takes repetition and clarity. it goes against traditional methods because it's counterintuitive. when we get into an anxious state of fight or flight because of life situations that keep us in a high stress level. it gets hardwired to our new baseline so it's normal for the brain to send out alarms ⏰️ of physical symptoms and intrusive thoughts/ocd/anxiety it's perceiving danger that isn't there. it find everything to be a threat. our limbic system is our security system and it's job is to keep us alive. that's the priority it doesn't care if your suffering as long as your alive. it sends out alarms and asks questions later. it's a mal adaptive stress response. it acts like there is a tiger 🐅 near by when there isn't. when we react in fear and and run around fighting our thoughts or body sensations the brain thinks your In danger and backs you up for support by sending alarms of fear and thoughts to get you to urgently fight or Flee. what I did was Allow the thoughts to be. let then run wild and burn 🔥 it's energy out. invite them in. ask for more. picture the thought as a cloud passing through your chest and throat and let it be. sit in the fear and let it do its thing. it will dissolve and lift. the key when allowing the thoughts to float through you is to not ruminate the thought. this is key. do not try to figure it out or try to fix it because you will never win. it's like pouring gas on a fire. just allow the thought(fear emotion) to be acknowledged. when you resist them or try to distract they become bigger and louder. what we resist persists. it's like saying don't think about purple tigers. the content of the thought..is IRRELEVANT. you will notice that after you processed the emotion behind the thought that you will forget what the thought was about. the thought is supposed to bring you into the emotion. the emotion needs to be acknowledged. when emotions like fear aren't acknowledged then they become bigger and you get triggers. emotions send thoughts to bring you in. that's its job.the thoughts are supposed to be scary to get your attention. that's the point. if they weren't scary then they wouldn't be able to get your attention to the fear emotion. trying to count backwards or forcing your self to be in the present moment is resistance and doesn't work. it's a coping mechanism that makes things worse. anxiety can find you in the past..in the future and definitely in the present moment. it doesn't matter. we shouldn't be limited to the present moment to avoid or resist thoughts. that feeds them. what we do is 1. allow the thought.. 2. don't ruminate or try to figure it out. don't white knuckle or rush the thought away because that tells the brain you are resisiting and in danger. 3. engage in life. do something you enjoy. engaging is different then distracting because you allow the thought to do its thing and you allow it to come along. taking the fight away from intrusive thoughts calms your limbic system with repetition and time. you also build new neural pathways and eventually the invasive thoughts will be in the background like all the other 70 thousand thoughts. at first you will need to practice this method and process each thought but eventually they get less sticky. you will be able to scroll on from your thoughts just like we do when we see something we don't like on fb feeds. we just scroll on. it's also a form of exposure. eventually the thoughts become numb. they go from a 10 to a 6..to a 5...3..numb. this works with triggers also. I used to loop on 1 single thought for weeks at a time. now I'm free and have my brain back. I use the present moment to engage in life not to distract but to savor the moments and elevate my mood to hardwire Happyness. being mindful is allowing your thoughts and not judging them or fixing them. observing them and allowing them to be and redirecting to life. I hope this helps ...it's not a new approach..clair weekes wrote about this over a century ago. you won't find it much on you tube. it's a simple approach but it works. 👍❤️
also if you want this process to go quickly...after you did the last step and engaded for 20 min in something you liked...go back to the thought. hunt it! ask for more. and repeat the steps. then engage again. do this through the day and one by one the thoughts (alarms)get numb. it might seem difficult to run towards your thoughts but whats the other option? fighting them is worse and keeps you stuck. the other way is hard but you recover. it's actually not as bad.
OMG !! Thank you sooo much !! Im noticing that all of your videos are so helpful and informative for anyone who have been through traumatic experiences and want to turn it around and actually enjoy life and thrive!! I LOVE that you actually took the time to figure all of this information about our brains out !!! Im blown away !!! 🤯🤯😱😍❤️💯
This post is yet another reminder that what goes on in your head, someone else's head, and what goes on in the general world is three different things.
I guess I say all of this because out of the 7 videos I’ve seen, I cut them off short because by the time the help comes, it takes so long to get there. Thanks
This was So informative and I got a lot out of it especially overthinking about everything, assuming that things are going to happen when I have no idea about them. Living in the present moment is key
Hi Julia. My name is Melissa. This video could not have come at better time. I just had a huge disagreement with mom that essentially revolves around how much her and I struggle with this exact topic. It's caused a lot of tension between her and I recently but my hope is that with us finally getting things out in the open, we can heal and move forward in a positive direction. Thanks for all your great videos!!
I love you, Julia. Please don't send out your husband to beat up those who express love to you!. The proper abbreviation of FEAR is - Fake, Evidence, Appearing, Real!
Thank you for your video, it resonated so deeply with what I have been going through. I recently started looking up counseling videos as it is so hard to access mental health resources urgently without hospitalization or sometimes you make all the effort to be seen and end up not liking the provider because you have never met them. I have found so many professional counseling videos on TH-cam. It’s nice to sample or get a taste of the providers dedication and passion for the subject. You seem so genuine I instantly subscribed. Your words were very powerful, truly helpful. Thank you sincerely. ❤️
Hi Julia! Shifter here! Great video. I love these reminders. Things that we have learned in the Shift Society. Also one helpful tip that I have learned from you that I would like to share is to ask ourselves, "Is this thought healthy, helpful, producitive or serving?" And I admit, you know me, I have a doomsday fear mindset so that resonating with me. We can't control what we can't control in the world, so why spend time worrying about it. NOTES: • Our brain thinks about the past or what could happened in the future. • We are thinking about things that other people may be thinking. • Low sense of self usually struggle what others think. • After leaving social event and you think about "What if I said the wrong thing or they took that the wrong way…" etc • Drawn to drama, fear and doom. (Scrolling social media and news) • We can only anticipate the past the future other than in our thoughts.
How to Stop them:
1. Recognize the only way we can experience the past or the future is in our thoughts. Say, "I noticed that I am having the thought that…" and "This is not a truth or fact… but even if it is, it isn't helpful to allow my brain to keep going over and over it. " …etc… 2. Call out the intrusive thoughts as an intrusive thought, "I am NOT my thoughts, I am the THINKER of my thoughts. I am the being thinking of my thoughts." "This is the thought that's coming in…it is an intrusive thought" 3. Dispute the thought. "Is this thought 100% true, 100% of the time?" Take a step back and ask ourselves, is this true? 4. Do a Sucky First Draft - a brain dump journal. Just write down every thought - don't worry about grammar or even disputing them just dump them out. 5. Then take that piece of paper of all the unhelpful thoughts about life or yourself and then rip it up or throw it in the fire (safely lol) a symbol of disposing these thoughts. You don't have to keep thinking these unhelpful thoughts. Thanks Coach! To those who are reading this, remember always what a worthy and valued person you are. ❤
Chrisdigitalartest .hello me I have been reading everything you wrote I'm watching Julia s video now and listening this video topic is very helpful advice and comforting I struggle with this I have intrusive thoughts I think about and worry about Meany different things good to read your advice aswell 🙂
@@chrisdigitalartist that's good glad you are doing ok no really iv been really struggling with my mental health sleep issues stress negative thoughts and suicidal thoughts bad depressive episodes hopefully getting a phone call tomorrow from mental health about when I'm starting therapy thank you for asking take care chris
I wake up in the middle of the night not knowing why but right before I wake up, I have some thought of something that I didn't like about how the day before went. Once I'm awake, I forget about it, but my brain must be trying to work it out.
I'm stuck with unemployment for a few months now and my generalized anxiety and depression always make sure I feel either way every day. Taking meds help but I over think it to the point that I'm unproductive some days, completely.
My name is Heidi and I’ve really been struggling with crippling anxiety and panic however it’s gotten significantly worse over the last few months. I would love to connect with you for help because this really is crippling and feels like it will never end
Thank you so much for your videos. Their very helpful. I struggle with intrusive thoughts expecially after the mass shootings going on in the world. I know their just thoughts but they keep replaying making me worry.
There's a buddhist monk on youtube named Ajahn Brahm that says to write these negative things on toilet paper, preferably in brown and then flush it down the toilet. It's a great option for everyone that does not have a fireplace to burn the paper. It also has extra symbolism for getting rid of the sh*%.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you and your content offer. New points always jump out and hit me in the 👃 nose when I review your works Julia. I will be a life long ( my life) fan and follower of you and your work. All the best to you and your family.
No matter what trick we use, it is NOT NOT NOT effective to keep saying thoughts are without any evidence or baseless!!! When are ppl ever going to understand this. Thoughts arise because SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO US. It’s NOT just something we conjure up in our heads!!! I was a completely healthy and happy individual but now I cannot even smile, have crippling anxiety ( I throw up sometimes) For years!!! All thanks to the relentless narrative of how thoughts are baseless and don’t believe them. This narrative is even adopted by people who are supposed to heal! Acknowledge yourself more, do not dismiss without really finding out what’s the reason you are having a thought. Some thoughts are baseless, I agree. Bit so many are NOT. The overthinking happens because we fail to validate our own pain and keep feeding ourselves with the narrative “It’s all in our heads!”
God I want so badly to stop this and stop feeling this way. It's so hard and it has ruined so many relationships. Especially the relationship with myself which is pretty much non existent but I'm trying to learn. Feel so broken alot and not worthy .
I know this video is 2 years old, but if you get this , what does one do with the thought I'm lonely ( when alone or with others) ? I feel lonely, my thoughts are I'm lonely I'll always be lonely because 1) I feel no one understands and 2) l can't be with the one I love. Please advise when the though hunts you 24/7 and it's a true statement. Loving your videos. Thank you.
I've always known the difference between false accusations and the true intrusive thoughts I've been struggling with for years I have schizophrenia and depression I'm taking meds for I don't believe the negative thought but I want to change them and become mentally more who I know I really am
Hi, thanks for the videos! It’d be even more helpful if you’d provide fewer examples and more of the practical how to stop it. I’ve seen lots of videos of yours and am a new subscriber as of a few days ago. So, maybe if you can keep this in mind, that’d be great! I don’t have much time for long videos, but the short videos that give tips to change and stop the intrusive thoughts, or whatever the topic is, would be super. I appreciate it!
What about grief. Did this work with grief? My daughter and grandkids are moving 400 miles away and I’m used to seeing them often. I’m single and they are a huge part of my life. Every time I think of them I go right into emotional pain and tears. They are leaving next week and I have never experienced this type of grief before. I’m thankful it’s just a move but it’s not something I am coping well with. Will this work because it’s a family situation. I have another daughter here and grandkids but they are not home much and not as involved in my life. I have centered my world around my family as they bring so much joy.
Does peri menopause trigger intrusive thoughts of the past? I never had this problem before until I started having hot flashes a few weeks ago🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Can you talk about when famous people commit suicide and how that may affect us. For example, the recent death of Naomi Judd or someone like Robin Williams. It scares me when they do this because if they can't survive, how will I.
Because everyone is different. Just because, tragically, they could not get past their issues, does not mean that you cannot. Please don't compare yourself to them, or anyone else.
What was that? Light it on fire and throw it on the carpet? Or, did you say take it to your neighbor's house with a can of gasoline? Am I getting this right? I can't wait to practice this! I should feel so very much better!!!!
Wow your so so amazingly great and brilliant and number one person you are so so amazingly great and thee best of the rest xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 🥰😍👩❤️👨💑👩❤️👩😘👨❤️👨❤️💕xxxxxxxxxx I solute to your greatness xxxxxxxxx
Maybe your presentation didn't suck, maybe there jealous cause it was so awesome that it made them look bad cause they been there way longer than you but they got complacent and their presentations are genuinely bad!
I struggle with overthinking many things. It's a real challenge. It's good to know that others also deal with it and that it's not unique to just me.
I wish there was a switch to turn it off
You have an energy that makes people feel like you are family 🙏
Thank you for caring and sharing
true
Julia really does. She’s like this awesome sister I would like to have ❤️

Having gratitude and practicing to keep my thoughts in the day truly helps me.
check out my comment it might be helpful 😀
Even I go through the same thing.. so irritating
My hugest struggle is I wake up wondering if anxiety will kick in today and then it starts... I never had anxiety this bad till recently...
Me too. I think it’s very common

You can't stop intrusive thoughts Julia you have that wrong but you can refocus and be mindfull which helps .

It’s debilitating more often than not so I always appreciate these types of videos.

💯
This is so true. When the ruminating and obsessing kicks in, I feel like I should look like Megamind by the end of the day
@@heidichamberlain9548 YES. 😅 Omg. I feel that.
Excellent thoughts. So spot on. What others think. So hard to let go.
You hit the nail on the head! I think this way tooooo much! 😮
I have these almost everyday most of the day and its so hard. I feel like crying sometimes or most of the time.
i can relate it is hard have you tried mindfullness meditation?
I'm too scared to cry when I get these intrusive scary thoughts. When they get less then I feel like crying. Happens normally in public places. On the train back from my parents and been off medication for a while now but I can't go back to square 1 again. I just can't!

I have a totally different view on intrusive thoughts.

My psychiatrist said that i am hyper vigilant. Please make video on it.
Very insightful . These are the basis of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT helped save my life 30 yrs ago and I use some part of it everyday
A lot of liking drama means we can get involved and forget what's going on with us personally
Yes exactly i struggle it all the time being an empath is super hard
I think that is what drew me to Facebook... All of the drama there ...no more of it for me!!
Thanks Julia,
Great video topic for me,

No matter what trick we use, it is NOT NOT NOT effective to keep saying thoughts are without any evidence or baseless!!! When are ppl ever going to understand this. Thoughts arise because SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO US. It’s NOT just something we conjure up in our heads!!! I was a completely healthy and happy individual but now I cannot even smile, have crippling anxiety ( I throw up sometimes) For years!!! All thanks to the relentless narrative of how thoughts are baseless and don’t believe them. This narrative is even adopted by people who are supposed to heal! Acknowledge yourself more, do not dismiss without really finding out what’s the reason you are having a thought. Some thoughts are baseless, I agree. Bit so many are NOT. The overthinking happens because we fail to validate our own pain and keep feeding ourselves with the narrative “It’s all in our heads!”
Thank you
It was all great. I needed this right now. Thank you!
You're welcome..

God I want so badly to stop this and stop feeling this way. It's so hard and it has ruined so many relationships. Especially the relationship with myself which is pretty much non existent but I'm trying to learn. Feel so broken alot and not worthy .

I know this video is 2 years old, but if you get this , what does one do with the thought I'm lonely ( when alone or with others) ? I feel lonely, my thoughts are I'm lonely I'll always be lonely because 1) I feel no one understands and 2) l can't be with the one I love. Please advise when the though hunts you 24/7 and it's a true statement.
Loving your videos.
Thank you.

Facebook was judging every single thing I did!!
I've always known the difference between false accusations and the true intrusive thoughts I've been struggling with for years I have schizophrenia and depression I'm taking meds for I don't believe the negative thought but I want to change them and become mentally more who I know I really am

Hi, thanks for the videos! It’d be even more helpful if you’d provide fewer examples and more of the practical how to stop it. I’ve seen lots of videos of yours and am a new subscriber as of a few days ago. So, maybe if you can keep this in mind, that’d be great! I don’t have much time for long videos, but the short videos that give tips to change and stop the intrusive thoughts, or whatever the topic is, would be super. I appreciate it!

I often fight with some of people in my thoughts. This is why I ask from time to time "Am U insane or something?"
How do I get on your shift society please .Thanks Julie
What about grief. Did this work with grief? My daughter and grandkids are moving 400 miles away and I’m used to seeing them often. I’m single and they are a huge part of my life. Every time I think of them I go right into emotional pain and tears. They are leaving next week and I have never experienced this type of grief before. I’m thankful it’s just a move but it’s not something I am coping well with. Will this work because it’s a family situation. I have another daughter here and grandkids but they are not home much and not as involved in my life. I have centered my world around my family as they bring so much joy.
I didn't know you live in my city of birth I was 2 yrs old when my parents left Vancouver for the United States
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks you very much.

I’m such an over thinker

My emotions are in a wooden crate inside me. They can't get out but they keep yelling at me. And crying. Lots of painful crying going on.
I tried brain dumping a couple of days ago in my journal.. it didn't make me feel better. Am I doing something wrong?
Where is the waitlist I never see it
Can you talk about when famous people commit suicide and how that may affect us. For example, the recent death of Naomi Judd or someone like Robin Williams. It scares me when they do this because if they can't survive, how will I.
Because everyone is different. Just because, tragically, they could not get past their issues, does not mean that you cannot. Please don't compare yourself to them, or anyone else.
What you do with feelings and dreams that come true?
What was that? Light it on fire and throw it on the carpet? Or, did you say take it to your neighbor's house with a can of gasoline? Am I getting this right? I can't wait to practice this! I should feel so very much better!!!!

Maybe your presentation didn't suck, maybe there jealous cause it was so awesome that it made them look bad cause they been there way longer than you but they got complacent and their presentations are genuinely bad!
The mention of fear mongering felt a little red pilled to me.
