Tip Sheet



First of all, don't fight it. What you resist persists. Instead, replace the negative thought with a positive one. Replacing thoughts put you in charge of your mental stream, rather than being a passive recipient of whatever shows up.

You can also try crowding it out with multiple positive thoughts instead of just one - confuse the negative! But one technique I like is the "what if" one. "But what if I fail?" - change such thoughts to "SO what if I fail!" - So what?

Yes, resisting it will make it worse! But also adopt an attitude of gratitude. No matter how bad things may seem we all have something to be thankful about. Being grateful for what you have will make it difficult to remain in the negative state of mind.
