    Wow this article really resonated with me and I love your perspective. “negative memory + present negativity = everything is terrible always” literally gave me chills, I think everyone could benefit from realizing this and practicing being present with their emotions. I sometimes find myself being consumed by my anxiety and have a different way of sitting with them in order to take care of them for good. I picture the thought as a ball of energy, (however the thought makes me feel depends on what the ball of energy looks like, its strange but interesting.) Then I take that ball of energy and I mentally throw it as far away from me as it can go. I visualize it flying away getting smaller and smaller and smaller until its gone forever. Even when the thought enters my mind again I am so much more calm about it because I made myself “in control of it” so to say.
