Self-healing copywriting short sentences

The easiest way to start self-healing is never long-form psychological counseling, nor is it chicken soup for the soul that you force yourself to look away from, but short sentences of 3 to 15 words that can be spoken instinctively according to your current emotions - no need to force positivity, no hard conciliation, just adapt to your current state, it will be useful.

I was sorting through the case records of emotional counseling a while ago, and I also saw the files of the girl who worked on the Internet last year. She was so anxious that she lost a lot of hair every day. She had hundreds of inspirational copywriting messages like "Stop internal friction" and "You are awesome" saved in the photo album of her mobile phone. The more I looked at it, the more anxious I became, feeling that I couldn't even do "stop thinking too much". In fact, I really don’t blame her. Many people’s misunderstanding of self-healing phrases is that they think they must be “positive energy” and have a motivating effect. But after you have just been scolded by your boss and said “I am the best” in the mirror, you want to roll your eyes, right? Hey, there’s really no need to have a hardcore positive persona.

If you are stuck in repeated rumination at the moment, and your mind is full of "did I say the wrong thing just now" and "does he have a problem with me?", then the "thinking interruption" short sentences commonly used in the cognitive behavioral school are most effective. You don’t need to use any fancy words, as long as they can pull you out of the whirlpool of random thoughts. I have seen some people silently recite four words, “That’s it.” Others directly cursed in their hearts, “None of my business.” As long as it can interrupt your thoughts of going around in circles, it is a good sentence. There used to be a sales visitor who would repeatedly review what he had not done well every time after meeting with a customer. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. Later, every time the thought of reviewing came up, he would silently say "stop it", which was much more useful than the half-hour psychological popularization he had done before.

But if you are stuck in your emotions right now and don't want to "stop" at all, and just want to cry for a while, don't force it. Short sentences with a mindfulness orientation are more suitable for you. The core is just one: don’t judge your emotions. Instead of forcing yourself to "stop being sad," just say, "I'm just sad right now, and that's okay," or "I'll give myself permission to cry for another ten minutes." Last month, my friend fell out of love and locked herself at home for three days. She was anxious about anyone who advised her to "come out". Later, she wrote "It's normal to be sad" on the refrigerator magnet. She read it every time she got water. After crying for half an hour, she recovered. She also ordered a salmon that she usually couldn't bear to eat.

There are also people who neither want to interrupt their thoughts nor accept their emotions, but feel that their days are muddy and they have no energy to do anything, and they don’t even have the motivation to get up. Then you might as well try a short sentence with an existential orientation. You don’t need to talk about the value of life and the future direction, but just anchor the most specific little things at the moment. For example, "Drink a cup of warm water first", "The wind is very comfortable today", "The sweet-scented osmanthus blooming downstairs" are all good enough healing sentences. When I was suffering from depression a few years ago, the first thing I did every day when I opened my eyes was to stare at the ceiling without moving. Later, I posted five words on my bedside table, "Eat something hot first." With these five words, I survived the half-month period when I least wanted to get out of bed. It feels amazing now that I think about it.

Of course, some people say that these are useless self-comforts and are essentially the spirit of Ah Q. Indeed, psychological research has confirmed that if your self-esteem level is extremely low, forcing yourself to instill short sentences with positive hints will actually aggravate your self-denial due to your inability to do so. So there is never any standard answer, and no one stipulates that healing phrases must be gentle and positive. I have seen people use "go to hell" as a mantra, and recite it every time they encounter bad things. It is more effective than all gentle comforts. If you feel comfortable using it, you are right.

On the last page of the small notepad I carry with me now, I wrote three sentences that I often use: "It's okay," "Eat first," and "We'll talk next time." There's no big reason, but every time I turn to it, no matter how upset I am at the moment, my shoulders can relax. After all, self-healing does not require complicated methods. The best sentences are those that can catch your current emotions.
