190. Living Without Fear - Breaking the Negative Thought Spiral | With Esther Buerki

LIVING WITHOUT FEAR

A few years back, I was just like many of you, struggling with my emotional side. It felt like everything triggered me, and I couldn't even distinguish my own emotions from others'. I often found myself overwhelmed. Then, something incredible happened. I met a coach who had learned from the great Tony Robbins and claimed he could control his emotions. At first, I was skeptical, but in our coaching sessions, I discovered it was indeed possible. One of the first techniques he shared with me was simple yet powerful: change your physical position when you feel down. If you're sitting, stand up and move around. It turns out, changing your body's position can shift your emotional state. Another game-changer was creating a list of 50 things I love to do, no matter how small. Initially, I laughed at the idea, but I did it, and it worked. Whenever I felt down, I'd pick something from that list and, like magic, my emotions would shift. Lastly, I learned a valuable lesson from Wayne Dyer. He taught me to observe myself from the outside, like a witness. It's a bit like stepping out of your own body and looking at yourself. I've used this technique to detach from negative thought spirals and worries, and it has made a world of difference. For example, during a bus and train ride to the mountains, I started blaming myself for not getting enough sleep and breaking my morning routine. But I detached from that negative self-talk, observed myself from a distance, and transformed my mood from tired and frustrated to grateful and excited. I want you to remember this - you can use this visual technique whenever changing your body position isn't an option, and it's particularly helpful for empaths like me.
