Choose your attitude every day until eventually it chooses you right back. - Jon Acuff
A soundtrack without
action is just a fortune cookie. – John Acuff, Soundtracks
As a review from the last blog post, the author
discussed the three questions one should ask when a potential negative
soundtrack runs through the mind.
When these negative soundtracks emerge in our minds, the
likelihood is stress or sleep deprivation. So, our first action should be to stop,
breathe and walk away if possible. By changing surroundings, a fresh perspective
allows for the creation of a new soundtrack.
Next, the reader needs to develop a new, positive,
and encouraging soundtrack to replace the negative soundtrack. This new soundtrack
will need to be repeated over and over again until it becomes as automatic as
the negative soundtrack was.
Lastly, it is beneficial to attach a symbol to the
new soundtrack according to Acuff. When those stressful times arise and one has
to remember the positive soundtracks, the symbol will remind the reader to
continually repeat the new soundtrack in one’s mind.
According to Acuff in the electronic version of Soundtracks:
The Surprising Solution to Overthinking (4:36:35), the symbol should be:
1. Simple
2. Personal
3. Visible
ACTION: What broken soundtracks do you need to retire and
create new ones for? Create new soundtracks and select a symbol to help
remember these new soundtracks.
