Thoughts Are Not Facts

You are not your thoughts, and once we recognize our thoughts are not facts, they lose a lot of their power over how we feel.

The situation itself doesn’t determine how you feel, the way that you feel depends on the thoughts that you have in response to the situation.
Very wise words / life hacks.

Your videos are very helpful. I was wondering whats happening in my life and you gave an exact insight into the happenings. I wish all my friends who are trapped in such emotional state get benefit from this.

This reminds me of Napoleon Hills guide on Positive Mental Attitude. Great seminar and book..

[@michele588]

good way to think about things

[@DaniKorach]

I really enjoy your videos. I am currently training to be CBT therapist and these videos are very clear and concise. Many thanks 🙏🏽

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks, great to hear!

[@happymystic]

This is very good. Thanks!

[@matthewlewis3901]

Very well described cycle which I can get stuck in when under stress, thanks for this and for your other videos. Very helpful.

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks, glad it was helpful.

[@edwinbautista4764]

Wow. This is really helpful, keep them going❤️

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I just found your videos. For one, the cadence is the best of any psych-help channel I’ve listened to. Your are clear, & present the material so that it builds upon itself. You offer practical ways to approach problems, and give gentle yet reasoned encouragement. I am an artist and have been hampered severely by my fear/ loathing of self promotion. I most certainly could be making a good deal more money on my work as it is excellent. I contact a few art galleries every year but even when the response is interested, I don’t follow up.
I would like to be known and probably should be but my aversion to getting out there is winning out.
You’re giving me a concrete way to face my reticence. Thanks!

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks so much that's so nice to hear

[@5-minuteBreakthroughs]

I realize this post is from 8 months ago and I hope you're out there promoting your work. If you still have hesitations it might be good to ask yourself What's the worst thing that can happen? What's the best thing that can happen? And what's the most likely thing that could happen? You'll see that no matter what outcome, you'll be able to handle it.

[@healthysickguy4]

This is really great.. I appreciate all of the work you've done.

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks so much!

[@Ot-xh7gi]

Well literally I thought always like "what if it happen??" like this.. Maybe it's my thoughts... ✨

[@arpankumarpal5478]

God bless you 🙏

[@ShruthiLakshminarayana]

I never knew that thoughts affect our feelings so much,
Your Examples are so real, I always face such things in my life and didn’t know how why and what to do about those feelings!
Great eye opening to me.. Thank you
I’m also struggling with decision making, do you have any videos for that?
I’m very thankful for sharing your wisdom 🙏🏻

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@SelfHelpToons]

Sorry, the bottom of your comment was cut off when I read it before. I don't have a video on decision making but I've though about doing one so I'll add it to my list.

[@ShruthiLakshminarayana]

Thank you so much❣️

[@ZindagiHaseenHai]

Very nicely explained

Thank you! 🙂

[@AwestaKhalid]

Nice

[@Discover_with_urshhh111]

Best❤

[@kokalina72]

Thank you for this. One technical note though: can you fix the problem with the volume of the voice over? It's very low and makes it very difficult to keep up.

[@SelfHelpToons]

Sorry, there's no way to edit the audio of a RUclips video once it's uploaded.

[@Dannyboi__]

Does that mean that every thought that I know is true and realistic is wrong because thoughts are not facts because I spend a lot on advancing my thoughts and that helped me grow my mindset and I critical think a lot to help assess things in my mind and grow on interpitiation of something toward another thought to grow my mindset and I’m afraid that your saying that as if my life is a lie
