When Do You Start With The NEGATIVITIES?
How often do you find yourself getting bogged down by NEGATIVE thoughts that seem to literally TAKE OVER your mind, no matter HOW optimistic your circumstances seem? MAYBE you're constantly worrying about the "WHAT IFs" OR start feeling anxious about the possibility of something bad happening, even WHEN there is NO real reason for you to feel that way. So, When Do You Start With The NEGATIVITIES? And if you're constantly defaulting to NEGATIVE conclusions, there is that probability that you may be suffering from NEGATIVE thinking patterns in your thought process. Now, can we consider what experts advise that from their studies, NEGATIVE thinking is a survival techniqueπ΅π΄π·
Thing is, there are always two sides to a story. And the first one is so damn generic and popular that we sometimes forget about the second one. POSITIVE and NEGATIVE are two faces of a coin. And each one is equally important. You just need to use your brain cells and allow them to work in your favor. BUT if you are confused now, it's NOT your fault because the overthinking brain thinks a lot of 'crap'πππTime and again, WHAT we always focus on WHAT we want to become. WHAT we have to achieve. The focus is always on the wants, the needs, the desires. And it should be. And if your desire to achieve something is strong enough, you will get whatever you work for. BUT some people DON'T know WHAT they want with their life, Quite some only have a vague and faint idea and if you ask them to be specific enough, bluntly, some are as 'clear as mud'πππ
WHAT gets glossed over by many of us is that the lack of clarity creates an obvious delay in our SUCCESS [if we are to succeed in the first place]. It's because clarity and routine are so freaking important. Without it, you would just end up like wandering here and there. So, the bottom line here is that if you DON'T know WHAT you want to be, make a list of WHAT you DON'T want to be. MAKES SENSE? In the simplest terms, if you DON'T know what you want, then, you got to figure out what you DON'T want in the first place. BUT be cautioned with what experts call COGNITIVE distortions❌❌❌
Topping the list of COGNITIVE distortions is the ALL-or-NOTHING THINKING. Seeing things as black OR white, with NO shades of grey. So, when things are NOT perfect, you would see them as FAILURE. Sometimes, we tend to over-generalize. When something happens, you would blurt out 'THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME'. So, if nothing POSITIVE comes out, yes, you got to drill down the NEGATIVITIES✅✅✅
