Mel Robbins at melrobbins.com has a 5 second rule for changing your negative thought patterns and moving forward. Mel also talks about logging your negative thoughts and having you recognize how that thought gave you a bad feeling. Were you feeling controlled by someone’s words or actions & how did you react? Was the thought distorted? Then change your thought with a more helpful thought instead. If your thought is, “I’m always criticized,” instead think, “I’m not going to let this thought slow me down today.”
Action you can take to survive abuse/bullies
