Thriving To Overcome Negativity

Thriving To Overcome Negativity

A one-off NEGATIVITY last year and another similar moment six months OR a year down the road is quite understandable. BUT WHEN the frequency escalates, that's WHEN even water at room temperature could shoot up till it's simmering. Thriving To Overcome Negativity can seem tough because we tend to view the world through our mental attitude.  And if that attitude seems predominantly NEGATIVE, sadly YES it can impact everything, including our health, even our career, family and even beyond that.  Furthermore, NEGATIVE thinking can have that spiraling effect that attracts NEGATIVE thinking💥💥💥

BUT you might ask, do we have a glimmer of hope so that we can gradually [because definitely, this CAN'T happen overnight] train ourselves over time on HOW to think by adopting and embracing even the most basic tenets of being POSITIVE.  NOW, we CAN'T be better than the recognized lifetime coaches WHO counsel us to have a daily NEGATIVE THOUGHT TIME [a.k.a. NTT].  Apparently, a paradoxical strategy to gain control over our NEGATIVE thinking is to commit to 10 minutes a day ruminating and reviewing them over and over again. They advise that NEGATIVE THOUGHT TIME [a.k.a. NTT] must be done ten [10] minutes and it must happen everyday💦💦💦

Oh YES, much as we refill, reload and refresh things in our life, we are counselled to REPLACE those NEGATIVE thoughts.  We DON'T overcome NEGATIVE thought patterns because that is NOT feasible.  Instead, we replace them as for most of us, those NEGATIVE thought patterns are well-worn neural pathways.  BUT we need to be incisive by detecting WHEN that NEGATIVE pattern starts to shape up [before it gets too late]❎❎❎

And once we detect that potential pattern, you need to take an explicit [and NOT an implicit] action that you're indeed recognizing and acknowledging that that is the pattern you want to change.  BUT more than just the intention itself, talk to yourself, WHAT is it you want to change from that point in time?  And once you did identify it, choose a different behavior, one that serves your goals.  Oh, I heard this from the experts as well.  As some of us tend to be prone to over-thinking, we are encouraged to WRITE INSTEAD OF THINK.  Their studies show that we need to write down each NEGATIVE thought that pops-up.  Somehow, writing versus thinking helps purge the thought out, and when you can see the words on paper OR a screen, it becomes easier to make sense of it and move forward😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  Instead of being in reactive mode, ending up fighting NEGATIVE thoughts, can we intentionally reach out for better feeling thoughts.  One powerful way to do that is to speak [out loud if you can] to WHAT you love, like and appreciate.  Even the smallest niceties will matter LIKE, 'I LOVE THE WAY THE COFFEE TASTES TODAY' or 'I LIKE THE WAY THIS CHAIR FEELS AT MY BACK'.  YES dude, reach out for the relief, you'll find it. With finality, THRIVING TO OVERCOME NEGATIVITY should be at the top of our totem pole, dude❗❗❗
