Your mind is the most powerful tool. When it works for you, it helps you accomplish anything. But when your thoughts are hijacked by emotions, they become a prison that keeps you stuck in the past or worries about the future. That’s why I created this blog post to help you regain control of your thoughts and stop being controlled by them. Emotions are powerful things, but they don’t have to rule you! You can take back control of your mind by learning to recognize when you are being hijacked by your emotions and then choosing not to allow it.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are not thinking logically about how to handle it but instead are being led by your emotions? You might be able to remember back to when something was said or done that made you angry, sad,  frustrated, and then all of the sudden out of nowhere, without even thinking about it beforehand, you start saying things that make no sense. This is called “being hijacked” by your emotions. What is happening here is that your amygdala – which acts as an emotional command center for our brain – has taken over control of the brain’s decision-making process because it senses danger (such as someone threatening us). When this happens we need to stop ourselves from acting on impulse so we can think rationally again and act accordingly

The thoughts we think and the language we use in our lives shape our personality and the way we live. While we may not always be in control of what we think, we can start by changing how we talk to ourselves

Have you had a really hard day? Have a lot of disappointments recently? Are things just not going your way? It’s easy to start feeling down and discouraged, even if it’s been a while since anything bad happened. But here’s the truth about those feelings: They aren’t true. Negative thoughts are what make you feel that way, but they’re not real.

Do you find yourself constantly criticizing your life, your body or yourself? If so, you are not alone! In fact, many people actually do this without even realizing it. For example, they might think to themselves “I am so messed up” when describing where they are in their own lives. But what if these negative thoughts were replaced by positive ones? Gaining control of your mind is the most important step in personal growth and self-mastery. When you feel yourself falling into a dark place, it’s so hard to push back and bring yourself back to the light.

We all have an inner voice that constantly judges us, our feelings, and more. This voice can be so strong that you can’t hear anything else. And if it’s not your own voice, it’s the voices of others. But there is a way to quiet this inner critic–mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is really simple to do and some people find they are able to find more peace within themselves with just a few minutes of practice each day!   

One of the most powerful self-improvement exercises is to write down everything you wish for in life. You can use this list as a goal or to remind yourself what you want out of life. It doesn’t matter if your goals are big or small, it’s important to have goals and work towards them one day at a time.

Many of us can attest to the fact that it’s not easy to change habits and make healthier decisions. It takes willpower and discipline to make changes, and we inevitably slip up sometimes. But what if you knew it was possible to change your habits without having to rely on willpower at all?

Changing habits is not easy. We go through periods of focus and consistency, of relapse, of trying again. But with time, you can learn to change your habits for a happier life.

It’s only natural that when life throws us curveballs, it can be hard to stay on track. These are some tips for staying motivated in the face of challenges.

The key to success in life is taking care of your mental health. The first step to doing this is to take care of the habits that don’t serve you.

How often have you done something impulsively, just because your emotions are telling you to? The world screams for us to take action on every single thing that crosses our path – people are conditioned to always remain busy both physically and mentally.

What Is a Hijacked Mind?

A hijacked mind is usually one that has emotions that are not aligned with logic. Emotions are often strong, making it hard to focus or make decisions with clarity considering the available information. It sometimes becomes difficult to decide what is really important when there are many distractions coming from aspects of life.

Causes of a Hijacked Mind

One of the factors that can lead to a hijacked mind is spending too much time on social media. This activity throws your internet use into an overwhelmingly negative environment which will eventually limit your attention span and lower your cognitive function. It will also affect your mental health by putting you at risk for depression and anxiety-related illnesses.

The Effect Of A Hijacked Mind

The more you are preoccupied with your thoughts, the less likely you will be to make rational decisions. A hijacked mind traps the most precious freedoms. This is because it is difficult to think or even relax when you constantly feel like something is clouding your judgment. Learn how to break free by recognizing when your minds are hijacked and make a plan for realigning yourself instead.
