Try this disassociation technique to immediately get out of a loop of negative thoughts and patterns. Here is a very easy hack. How do you do it? Take a piece of paper, whatever thought is keeping you blocked, put it down on the paper. Don't read what you have written, just take that paper, tear it off, either burn it or just throw it away. So instantly the message that goes to that mind was that I have addressed the issue and I have also destroyed it. Which means it was not important. And you will see that your mind will release thinking about it, and it will get disassociated with that particular thought which was keeping you in that negative loop. Try it and let me know if it worked. It has worked wonders for me. It has literally changed my life, and it can change yours too.
