I can't seem to get these negative thoughts out of my head. If the day starts out with one setback, the day is shot. More seem to follow. I am tired of this way of living. My kids are feeding the stuff right back to me & I can't handle it. It's so overwhelming. Today I just said to myself as bad things kept happening, "No wonder I'm negative. How can I be positive, when only negative things happen?" I need some pointers on how to get myself to change.
hello bemorepositive!! the one thing that has helped me is that I will do the opposite of what I am thinking I should do. Just think about it.. We can't really trust what we are thinking because we think negative about everything. My anxiety is social, so when I need or have to go somewhere, mall, out to eat, etc. My mind starts telling me "don't go thats where you had your first anxiety attack and it will happen again" So I do anyway now. I find that I get through it ... some days are harder that others, but with the tools we have I think it is getting easier. Hope this helps.
We aren't born this way! Do you remember when you were a small child and everything was an adventure? A new door to open? A new swing to soar through the air on? You really can get this clean mind back. Just stay with this program. The results are cumulative, and you MUST do all the CD's and ALL the homework to get the full benefit. It does take time. But it took a long time to become a negative thinker, too. Best wishes.
