Positive Thinking: Actively STOP Negative Thoughts!
Filed Under Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Positive Thinking, Stress Remedies
Negative thoughts are things that most people really want to have, but it is possible to have them happen when you are not staying mindfully aware. 
Whether it’s about —
- yourself
- the things you’re doing,
- your job or
- other people
it can be difficult to get rid of negative thoughts once they enter your mind.
In our next series of blog posts, I will include a number of techniques that you can use to stop negative thoughts:
- Practice Actively Stopping Negative Thoughts
If you feel that you’re about to start thinking negatively, stop the thoughts before they have a chance to really kick in and take over your mind. If you’ve already started thinking negatively, actively change the thoughts to positive ones.
That’s right. As the first whisper of a negative thought starts to enter your mind, quickly — yet with sharp, loving firmness — tell yourself, “STOP IT!” This serves to jar your mind into a more-productive mode. Then, capitalize on this by changing the thought to one that is positive and supportive of you.
You might be telling yourself that this is, “Easier said that done”.  The truth is that the more you practice this thought-stoppage technique, the less you’ll find yourself thinking negatively. So here’s the key: Practice, Practice, Practice!
Would you please leave a comment on how you find this thought-stoppage activity best works for you?
