Which thought feels better?
Read this exercise:

This is something you can practise every time a negative thought appears:

Let's find one of yours and I will give you some examples of how to play with different thoughts.

Your dominant thought "his issues prevented us from having the kind of relationship we both really want. He hasn't phoned me"

Now, the job here is to find thoughts that *feel* better to you to offer you relief

•He doesn't communicate with me(worse)
•I want him to understand me (same)
•I should ignore him (worse)
•I don’t know what to do about this (worse)
•I need him to be more cooperative (worse)
•I want him to care about my feelings (same)
•He doesn't care about me(worse)
•I know he has a lot on his mind (better)
•Maybe he’s just having a bad day (better)
•There are so many positive things about him that I do like (better)
•I know he means well (better)
•Other couples have got over these problems and are now very happy (better)
•I know he loves me (better)
•And I love him! (better)
•I know it's going to work out!(better)

Now, focus ONLY on the thoughts that make you feel better.

Write out only the better feeling thoughts and focus on those for several minutes.

Do you feel the relief in that?

(This one is useful on a moment to moment basis. It helps to write it down. I often use this one on my teenage sons!)
