The Rocco Effect - Thought Exercise

 With our thoughts we make the world. - Buddha


The Rocco Effect - Thought Exercise

Our thoughts determine our reality.  In order to improve our reality, it makes sense to start with our thoughts.   This simple exercise tricks you into believing that you are surrounded by friends/loved ones.  Being surrounded by loved ones is bound to boost your mood.  

We also act differently depending on our mood.  Your actions are going to gather better results when your feeling great.  Wishing the best for others and acting in a way that shows this puts the odds more in your favor that you do grow real friendships and get better outcomes.

The Rocco Effect - Fuck Off!

Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence. - Bruce Lee How often do you have negative thoughts? I'm guessing more often than you'd like. We wouldn't let others talk to us that way, so why do we allow ourselves? Next time you notice one of these thought reply with 'Fuck off!' and replace it with the opposite though Eg. I'm stupid - Fuck off! - I'm a genius. Both are untrue, but one leads to you feeling rubbish and one leads to you feeling good. Why would you choose to feel rubbish when it's just as easy to feel great?  Comic Task   1. Notice your thoughts   2. Tell bad thoughts to 'Fuck off!'   3. Replace thought with the opposite   4. Start feeling great again   Journal questions   1. What thoughts have you told to 'Fuck off!'?  2. What have you replaced them with?  3. How do these new thoughts make you feel?
