200827 - Soapbox Thursday - HALT (Manage your Thoughts)

Lately, I’ve been getting anxious at random times of day for random things. When this happens, I’ve been taught to HALT (or stop) and fix my filters. So instead of impulsively making decisions based on how you feel or wallowing in your despair, figure out if you are HUNGRY, ANGRY, LONELY, or TIRED first because those are filters that make seeing an issue clearly WAY more difficult.

So an example would be if your spouse does something and you instantly snap at them. Check yo’self before you wreck yo’self and see if it’s actually just that you’re really tired from a long work day and frustrated with your boss at work SOOOOO that’s why you’re throwing shade their way…not because what they did was any big offense.

Next time your feeling icky about a situation HALT and adjust from there. Address those concerns first so you can more clearly see the situation for what it actually is.
