20 Simple Ways To Reset Your Mind For An Empowered Life After a Toxic Relationship (Plus Q&A)

Tip #1 - Release painful memories - Many of us are still hanging on to old and painful memories. You can overcome this by getting rid of reminders of bad times.

Tip #2 - Have a going-away party - Throwing yourself a “going away party” is a great way to say goodbye to the “old you.”

Tip #3 - Change your environment - Pattern thinking and bad habits are tied to our environments. While you might not be able to move away, simply redecorating can even have a big impact!

Tip #4 - Identify your goals - Know what you want from life and you’ll be able to find the most damaging limiting beliefs.

Tip #5 - Use the five-fold why - Don’t know how to find what you want in life? Try the “fivefold why.” Ask what you want, and then ask “why” five times. This helps you to get to the bottom of what you really want!

Tip #6 - Try mindfulness to identify limiting beliefs - Mindfulness is a technique that involves watching the contents of your own thoughts without judgment or feeling. This can help you learn what your limiting beliefs are, such that you can change them!

Tip #7 - Use thought challenging - If you have a negative belief, try asking yourself how realistic it really is. Prove you don’t need to think that way!

Tip #8 - Use hypothesis testing - Hypothesis testing means going out and actually proving that the thought is not accurate!

Tip #9 - Create new associations - Create more positive memories, habits, and beliefs to replace the old ones.

Tip #10 - Forgive yourself - Letting go of painful memories also means learning to forgive yourself with self-compassion.

Tip #11 - Stay away from negative people - Some people are toxic and bring negativity into your life – learn to avoid them.

Tip #12 - Use post-its with positive affirmations -This is a great way to remind yourself to think more positively as you go about your routine and home.

Tip #13 - Try fear setting - This is an exercise from Tim Ferris that involves writing down your fears and then demonstrating to yourself why they are invalid.

Tip #14 - Write down things you are grateful for - This shifts your focus and makes you more grateful (and thus happy) as your “default” emotion!

Tip #15 - Ask what advice you’d give to someone else - If you’re not sure what to do, ask what advice you would give someone in the same situation!

Tip #16 - Dress for the life you want - Not just the job you want! The law of attraction can do the rest.

Tip #17 - Smile more - This has powerful impacts on your own mood, as well as that of others!

Tip #18 - Adopt confident body language - The same goes for body language which can change the way others see you and even stimulate the release of more testosterone and other powerful hormones.

Tip #19 - Practice meditation - Meditation gives you the focused calm to rise above your troubles.

Tip #20 - Recognize the power of thoughts and beliefs

Finally, just know the importance of your thoughts and beliefs. These shape your behavior and the energy you put out, which has a way of shaping your entire life!
