Short weekly tips and tricks to understand ourselves better, and hopefully stop being so damn mean to ourselves the whole damn time.

How to Pause and Reset When You’re Spiralling - Spam Filter For Your Brain - Episode 168On this episode of Spam Filter for Your Brain, HeardinLondon (that's me, but I speak in a weird third person for the algorithm) talks about: The practice of noticing and gently redirecting thoughts.Key Takeaways:You Don’t Have to Believe Every ThoughtNot every thought our brain throws our way is true or helpful. We’re taught to believe our thoughts by default, but it’s okay—and even healthy—to question them.Catch Yourself Before You SpiralIf you notice yourself heading down a familiar spiral, this episode offers compassionate ways to pause, notice, and gently redirect your thinking, instead of letting those patterns take over.Neutral, Kind, and Realistic ReframesRather than forcing yourself into positivity, HeardinLondon shares simple, more neutral thoughts you can use, like “Of course I feel this way,” and “I can do one thing at a time.” These help take the sting out of overwhelm.Talk Back to Your ThoughtsYou can interrupt unhelpful thoughts with a little humor or curiosity—“Hey thought, not today,” or “That’s just a thought I’m having.” The key is finding what works for you and breaking the reflexive cycle.Four Questions to Gently Interrupt Unhelpful PatternsFull transcript: www.heardinlondon.com/post/how-to-pause-and-reset-when-youre-spirallingApply for a Free 5% Better Focus Coaching Callhttps://forms.gle/Ajmcv5yw1Gh4dQNF8All My Free Resources:www.selfcareschool.co.uk/pages/selfcareschool-free-resourcesEmotional Resilience Toolkit: https://www.selfcareschool.co.uk/courses/emotional-resilience-toolkitHow to Make Time for Yourself Replay: https://www.selfcareschool.co.uk/courses/how-to-make-time-for-yourselfPodcast Q&A - What would you like me to talk about?https://forms.gle/w6MxqV5Di4YwGCRL6If you'd like to know more, and like to see more incredible humans, please do hop on to social media, HeardinLondon, Instagram and on Facebook.And if you would like to learn more about how you can embed this stuff into your life and would like to join something incredible coaching calls and the group work please do have a look at www.selfcareschool.co.uk If you have any questions about anything I mentioned this week, please do drop me an e-mail.
