Brain retrain

My CBT guide tells me that our imagination is very powerful. She's said how if we think about our favourite meal we begin to salivate. She's encouraging me to try and trick my brain into new ways of thinking. I m trying, but 43 years of repeated neural activity can be hard to challenge. The idea is tho that when I'm feeling really low, by imagining and visualising a different way of seeing myself, my body will begin to feel it as if it were real, and then it becomes real. A bit like the laughing I've written about before when I did that fabulous laughter yoga session. Fake it til you make it.
It's good stuff this cbt.
