You know that moment, when all the lights are off and your body is screaming "gurl" you better nap or every organ, muscle and tissue inside of you is going to lose it.
“The less sleep you have,
the longer it takes them to get over a negative emotion.
While some people naturally tend to fixate on things
more than others, poor sleep makes fixation worse.”

The subconscious state of your brain is very strong and almost authoritarian but in spite of its overall strength, it has an achilles heel, which can lead to downfall.
"When the subconscious part of your brain is challenged with brutal reality it has nowhere to go and eventually surrenders."
Dr. Daniel Gregory Amen, a double board certified psychiatrist and brain disorder specialist and director of the Amen Clinics acknowledges this phenomenon and suggest that when your brain gets infested with "ANTs", also known as automatic negative thoughts you need to stop everything that you are doing and challenge your subconscious through a series of questions.
Question #1 Is it true? This is when you power up and gather the strength to fight your ANTs. Are you ready?
Question #2 Can I absolutely know it is true? This is the HARDEST question. Your brain will play tricks on you and try to convince you at ALL cost to give up because it's trying to protect itself, which is at the end, is its’ primary function.
The brain will try to "autocorrect" you but you speak more than one language and what you are saying to yourself is NOT a mistake and is in fact REAL, so you need to take a few extra steps to disable your "automatic autocorrect" and make sure next time it happens, your brain will not see it as a “mistake” and not try to force you to change it.

Question #3 How do I react when I have that thought? I found a worksheet online that can help you find the right words to describe how you are feeling. You can download it for free here. Question number 3 leans toward assessing your physical and psychological symptoms.
This question is basically a damage assessment. Just imagine that you work for an insurance company or FEMA and you need to declare a national disaster and disclose all the damages so you can start rebuilding your life back to normal. What damages did you encountered and how did you feel when you lost control of your ANTs during "the infestation".

Question #4 Who would I be without that thought? or What would I feel if I didn't have that thought. Oh the temptation of freedom. Freedom to live in peace and without pain. Freedom to finally allow yourself to move forward in life and do all those things that your ANTs were blocking you from doing it. Question number 4 is the motivation you need to get control of your ANTs infestation.
Be honest, brutally honest with yourself. You can work these questions on your head or you can write your answers down so when you go back and read it, you can challenge your cognitive distortions and once you are able to get to the point, you are one step away of eradicating your ANTs.
