The Easiest Method in the Book: “Self! Stop It!”

Why do we need thought-stopping? Any thought we think repeatedly makes a sort of neurobiological rut in our brains. Once a neuron pathway is set, it takes some time to change that pathway, so stopping and then interrupting thoughts must be done repeatedly to eliminate the worry tendency over time. Worriers have all heard, “Stop worrying! Relax!” If a person could stop worrying, he would! But this statement is a necessary first step to replacing negative thoughts. When you have out-of-control anxious thoughts, you say to yourself, “Self! Stop it!” Truly, it is that simple. It is just not easy to do. This is where the next step—thought replacement—comes into play.
