Let's Dump NEGATIVITY Down There
Let's Dump NEGATIVITY Down There. Seriously, enough of NEGATIVITY. Let's leave it behind. Let it eat our dust. Flip over. Let's welcome POSITIVITY instead. This is reality. We view the world through our MENTAL ATTITUDE. If that ATTITUDE is predominantly NEGATIVE, it can likely impact everything, including health, family, career and even more [sadly]. Furthermore, NEGATIVE thinking can have a spiraling effect that attracts more NEGATIVE thinking. BUT hey, this is no rocket science. Let's listen to what experts share๐ด๐ท๐ตPrimero, experts [ironically] recommend that you will allocate a fixed TEN MINUTES daily to ruminate and review everything NEGATIVE. Jot down your NEGATIVE thought [because that's NOT unavoidable] and tell yourself you'll look into it during your 10-minute NEGATIVE time. And as per their studies, over time, you will gain CONTROL and eventually, that NEGATIVE thought will stop because it is left with NO elbow room, NO wiggle space left for it to spread out and further weaken the foundations of your life๐๐๐Segundo, and this is quite a tough one. REPLACE those NEGATIVE thoughts. To quote the experts, "WE DON'T OVERCOME NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS. WE REPLACE THEM". In practical terms, experts suggest these steps to REPLACE:- NOTICE when that NEGA-PATTERN starts
- ACKNOWLEDGE to change that NEGA-PATTERN
- ARTICULATE what you want to be different
- Lastly, CHOOSE a behavior, one that serves your goals and consistent with your POSITIVITY
Tercero, BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND. Experts claim that, frankly, we are mean to our ourselves and nearly 90% of SELF-TALK is NEGATIVE. So, how do we flip this over?
- RELEASE IT - Let it out to help process and not dwell. Then allocate three minutes, that PITY PARTY should be over.
- TRACK IT - Alert yourself when NEGATIVITY creeps in so you can 'nip things in the bud'
- REFRAME IT - When you feel you are MEAN, remember the nice words your beshie would tell you, then tell that to yourself LOUD enuf
