15 Thought Filters Used By Peak Performers
The thoughts we entertain, (i.e. mental house guests) make us or break us, like the Unwanted House Guests from the old Saturday Night Live skits. If you let negative thoughts set up shop in your brain-housing group, it’s hard to dig them out and get rid of them. Many times, we don’t even realize our thoughts are negative. Identifying destructive thoughts is the first step to getting rid of limiting beliefs that hinder our Peak Performance. Peak Performers actually take the time and mental energy to check out the identity of their thoughts and dump any that don’t push them towards their goals. Here is the list of 15 that I use to ferret out even the most stealthiest seeds of negativity. If you find yourself dwelling on any of these categories, RED FLAG IT!!
ADVERSITY- a condition of hardship, anything opposing you, unfriendly, detrimental
AFFLICTION – to be distressed with continued suffering, trouble
CALAMITY – any event causing great suffering, disaster
DISPLEASURE – to be annoyed, confused, outraged
DISTRESS/ANXIETY – worry, anxious, fretting (this is the most preferred destructive thought category, favored by BILLIONS everywhere)
GREAT GRIEF – intense sorrow, tribulation, regret
HARM – injury or loss
HEAVINESS – despondent, burdened, depressed
HURT – pain, wound
ILL FAVOR – can’t stand ya! When you think people don’t like you.
MISERY – suffering, especially as a result of poverty or lack
SADNESS – depressed, miserable, pitiful, dejected
SORROW – distress and pain because of loss
TROUBLE – difficulty, unrest, perplexed, agitated
WRONG – injustice, anything not working properly
