In reply to repeating a thought/idea/ or mantra, posted by nickguy on August 4, 2007, at 18:41:17
Hi Nickguy,
I have an anxiety/eating disorder mantra "Bingeing will not make my anxiety go away." For depression it's something I heard on Oprah: "I am available to more good than I have ever experienced, realized or imagined before." It's long, but so is the negative thought train that runs through my head. Anything to help cut the negative thoughts in my book is a positive things. My T thinks it's wonderful that I am trying to slow down the negative thought train with positive thoughts. So she's definitely pro-mantra.
