It can not only help to change your mindset, but it can also help you become more compassionate toward yourself and others. It can also help to validate your emotions during those moments when you\u2019re thinking \u201cam I going crazy?\u201d. Overall, we think staying positive is the biggest benefit of reframing your thoughts. Here are some other tips for staying positive when the going gets tough.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t pile on the pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We all have bad days. Putting pressure on yourself to feel or think a certain way can often end up backfiring. Go easy, and don\u2019t feel guilty for practising self care and taking a day off when things feel too overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Celebrate your achievements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Focusing on the good is a sweet way to bring positivity into your life. Practicing gratitude and allowing yourself to celebrate when something good happens is a form of self love. For example, why not frame those big milestones and achievements in life through creating custom wall art? Hanging a mapiful poster on your wall lets you look back on your achievements and have pride in your journey every day.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice positive self-talk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Of course, avoiding toxic positivity is a must, but practicing some positive affirmations and reassuring phrases is proven to keep calm and carry on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>A final word on cognitive reframing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-f82168b ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block ugb--has-custom-content-width\"><style>.ugb-f82168b-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{border-radius:0px !important;background-color:#FEFEFE !important}.ugb-f82168b-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper:before{background-color:#FEFEFE !important}.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h1,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h2,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h3,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h4,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h5,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > h6{color:#222222}.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > p,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > ol li,.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper > ul li{color:#222222}.ugb-f82168b.ugb-container > .ugb-inner-block{max-width:900px !important}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper.ugb-container__content-wrapper{width:100% !important}.ugb-f82168b.ugb-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important}}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-f82168b > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > *{padding-top:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-f82168b-wrapper ugb--shadow-0\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-f82168b-content-wrapper\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center ls-1 has-small-font-size\"><strong>TO CONCLUDE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s worth saying that you must reach out for help if your thoughts become too much to bear. But the idea behind cognitive reframing is that it can act as a toolkit, which enables you to see your world through a camera lense and lets you distance yourself from overwhelming thoughts. It requires some patience and time to learn to change negative thought patterns, but this method of thought reframing can really change your perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"655\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7.jpg\" alt=\"vintage map poster of london, united kingdom\" class=\"wp-image-1340227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.mapiful.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-7-32x32.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.ls-1 { letter spacing:2px; text-transform: uppercase; }\u2028<\/style>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Struggling with racing thoughts, or just can\u2019t seem to take a break from your own mind?
