Our thought patterns are often formed at a very young age, before age 7 in fact. It influences so much of what we perceive to be true as we grow older. Our thoughts, determine our emotions, which then result in our actions (or reactions). You see a lot of that being revealed in each person, in a marriage. And sometimes, we may not realise our negative thought patterns can affect our marriage for the worst, bit by bit.
In this Facebook Live event recording, Grace speaks to Chitrah, a Behavioural Neuropsychologist and a Mindshift Coach whose speciality is in creating mind-shifts and breakthroughs so people can experience a sustainable transformation in life and work. Chitrah talks about how addictive behaviours might lead us towards ruined relationships, and how to recognise and work on these areas by using a ‘circuit breaker’. This is where we train ourselves to have new thoughts towards certain incidents, which can then create room for a different kind of action.
If you’re interested, Psychology Today has a simple quiz that can help you pinpoint your own most self-limiting mindsets and behavioural habits. It lists out 30 Types of Self-Sabotage in different scenarios such as how you approach change, relationships, work, money, what your hidden drains on time and energy look like, and more. It also includes a few pointers on what you can do moving forward, at the end of the article.
We hope this FB Live session has been helpful as a start. If you’d like to get in touch with Chitrah to chat more about transforming behavioural habits in your marrige, you can drop her a message at LinkedIn here.
