NYyanks819 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hey guys on day 17 of NC and just wondering if any of you have ever done the rubber band trick? Basically it is when you get a thought of your ex or something reminds you of her you snap a rubber band on your wrist. Seems like a great idea to retrain your brain to associate negative feelings with them instead of positive 1
deathandtaxes Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Who doesn't love a bit of negative reinforcement?? It can be very powerful. You could also research other cognitive behavior techniques to assist you. But I think arising of the urge to break NC and then resisting it is all part of the healing and getting over the ex process. 2

Author NYyanks819 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 I like it so far lol Basically if I think about her in a positive way of being cute, feeling bad for her, or thoughts of us being together whatever is positive about her I snap it and say NO in my head lol
Author NYyanks819 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 I think also why most people don't do it is because it feels good to think of all those positive thoughts of you and your ex together, but I just tell myself that is unhealthy and unrealistic and there are 1000s of better women out there waiting. You have to basically keep telling your mind (subconscious) that it is over and done I don't want her etc. I think how we talk is important!
