3 Simple Steps To Stop Thinking Negative Thoughts by H100: 6:25pm On Oct 22, 2019
You can't stop negative thoughts by just wishing they would go away, pushing against them, or feeling bad about having negative thoughts. Any focus on negative thoughts gives energy to them and increases them! Your mind has to be set on positive thoughts and good thoughts because then you're giving energy to that.

There're basically 3 steps on how to stop thinking negative thoughts and change someone's negative behaviors

1 - Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions.
2 - List negative things in your life and begin to change them.
3 - Forgive yourself and others.


It is clear that personality traits are formed by our past experiences.

Energy flows where attention goes. The more you focus on the negative things that have happened in your life, the more you relinquish your power to those things. Learn how you can start to become aware of negative thought patterns and begin to focus your attention on things that are important to you.

"When you change your energy, you change your life." Fear isn’t what is keeping you down, your mind is. When we’re trapped in fear and don’t take action, it can sound something like this:

What if people make fun of me?
What if I’m rejected?
What if I lose respect?
What if I’m not good enough?


What if ____________? (followed by any negative statement)

What if I put myself out there and fall flat on my face, everyone thinks my idea is stupid and turns against me, I become so depressed that I lose my job, my family decides I’m too pathetic to live with and leaves me, I lose my home and end up living on the street, ALONE! It sounds silly, right? However, you might be surprised just how far our minds will go to keep our love, safety, and belonging intact. I’m being facetious here only to prove a point, not to make light of your fears. Fear is often just poor management of the mind.

Write out your worst-case scenario.

Next, explore your thoughts in a different way.

What if I don’t lose anything but gain the things I really want?
What if the process teaches me I’m stronger and more capable than I thought?
What if I inspire people to take their own action steps towards their dreams?
What if it turns out great?

Now that your mind is a bit calmer, and feels safer, take some action!

According to professional speaker and author, Tony Robbins, it’s the getting ready to change that takes time. In the end there’s a single instant when the change occurs.

I don't wish to be seen as a pessimist, but, I think the world has come to that point where we have to face reality, poverty is real, and the thing is, it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon, it's nobody's fault that our mind keep wondering how we got to the point we are now, that we can't even afford the necessities of life.

Nobody was born with negative thoughts

It's the harsh realities of life.

Long story.
Make money, I repeat make money and half if not all your thoughts will be positive.
Better still exit this shithole and go live in a sane country, this shithole is enough to induce negative thoughts in you for life.
