Shopping, eating, and drinking are examples of avoiding discomfort, sadness, and pain. When you’re participating in self-criticism, move the band to your left wrist. Use affirmations to train your mind to become more positive. Begin with five minutes of meditation and five minutes of journaling each morning.
