Sounds stupid but just think positive. Start daydreaming about the things you DO want and imagine yourself acheiving all of it. When you feel negative thoughts coming on, just block them with an outlandish daydream of what you really want. Slowly you will start thinking postively..take it one thought at a time

Always see the positive side of everything.You have a new business to handle which is one of the best ways to revert your negative thoughts.Other than that, try cognitive behavioral therapy with your GP to start with the session.It helps a lot.
Associate with those who have positive outlook in lief.. Negative people or pessimists can really influence our subconscious self to be negativistic.

Aha you think you have negative thinking but you show positive actions. You are starting a business. Negative thinking would not have made you start it at all. You have made it this far. It would not hurt to give things a try. Failures may be inevitable at some stage. People do make failures but they learn from it. It build and prepare them so they will never repeat it again
Talk to someone close that you trust. If things are beyond your abilities share responsibilities until you can take it yourself.
You can also put things down in paper may be that will help with your organizing things.

the most fun of planning a business is the planning it is exciting and filled with thoughts of success now it is the doing stage were u realize u are actually going in business you are suffering from anxiety about the outcome of your business that probably is the cause of your negative thinking and what ifs try to stay positive and have back up plans for the what ifs it also helps to talk to people who are already in business if you have done everything u could then think positive and hope for the best give yourself a pat on the back that u are trying to do something with your life instead of complaining about it i am sure the man who started wal mart had some afterthoughts too good luck

Try that cosmotology/cosmos stuff...Noel Edmonds swears by it and attributes his TV comeback to it! I haven't tried it myself yet but am considering it. I was very sceptical at first but after hearing a friend talk about it I really fancy giving it a go. Whats the worst that can happen? Just approach it-or whatever you try-with an open mind. If you convince yourself something probably won't work then odds are it won't!

Think about positive things such as being able to open a business. That is an accomplishment in its self. try to focus on positive things and talk to someone about this anyone in your support system.

Firstly congratulations on starting your business.
i know it is a lot of hard work because i am currently finishing off my business plan and it takes a lot of effort and forward thinking.
The first step to feeling better is to realise that everyone gets to a stage when starting up a business, that they get down because at the beginning the start up of a company is a dream. You get so buried in the detail that when it's coming to the end of the planning stage, you've lost some of the enthusiasm for the business because it's on your mind twenty for seven. the key is to acknowledge that the fun part is about to begin and that it will all be worth it.
After all if there wasn't a risk involved there wouldn't be the sense of satisfaction when your finally begin trading and making a success of it.
Good Luck!

Try to surround your self around positive people and stear clear of negative people negativity is contegous and if people tell you that you shouldnt or cant do something you tend to believe it so dont just say to yourself what do they know its a bit like sublinimal messaging you have told people your starting your own buisness and they are either jelous or know it alls and are telling you its risky blah blah negative thinking is a habbit that you have learned you just need to learn how to think positive look in the mirror and just tell yourself (internelly) that you can do anything you are sucsessful i am positive for about 5 mins unless you ar mentally or physicly challenge every one in the world is capable of anything its just a matter of mind thats all..
