A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video (Reframe Your Thoughts | Rachael Gilbert) discussing cognitive reframing. The speaker describes teaching women to examine and reframe their thoughts, noting that vocalizing thoughts helps reveal their inaccuracy, and emphasizes that renewing the mind is a continual, daily practice rather than a one-time event.
Chapters
In the book, I actually have a chapter and then a whole unit where I teach women how to really look at their thoughts and break it down and then reframe, look at how those thoughts are affecting their emotions and their emotions are affecting their behaviors. But the thing about thoughts is if we don't say them out loud, sometimes we don't fully realize what we're meditating on all day until it actually gets a voice. And even sometimes, I don't know about you, but those times I have said those things out loud, I'm like, that's ridiculous. Like, just even hearing it come out. But even if I don't, having somebody who you know and love and trust help you reframe that thought and go, is there any truth to that? I don't think there is, but it is. It's a constant renewing of the mind. I think that's the other thing we get hung up on. We think, oh, I should be able to renew my mind once, and yay, I'm done. Yeah. It's not how renewing the mind goes. It's a daily thing.
