Thoughts determine your reality. Many people simply get trapped in a corner with their habit of thinking negatively, they literally fade before eyes. Other people get better with their thoughts. It cannot be said that they are smarter, they just know how to think well for themselves.
They say, there are 60 thousand thoughts coming to a human’s mind per day. 80% of them are positive or negative, 20% are neutral. Thoughts that prevail determine your stress level.
In order to get rid of negative thinking, you need to transform templates of your thinking. You’ll have to follow these steps:
- Consciousness. You need to be cautious about emotions you feel and statuses you get in.
- Reframing. An overwhelming majority of negative thoughts have totally nothing in common with the reality. Any situation has its light sides. Finding them is reframing.
- Replacement. You can be depressed, but if to focus on positive thoughts, they’ll get inside your sub consciousness and you’ll get a better mood later.
- Persistence. This is not the sudden and easy solution. You need to put lots of efforts to learn changing bad thoughts to good ones. Hang bright stickers all over the house, this is how you can remind yourself about that on purpose.
Here are positive thoughts you can use to replace negative ones. Use them as they are, or do some changes and modifications if you need.
