DO you find your self thinking negative?

Question

WHAt can i do to think more positive? Do you have any ideas? I was thinking of replacing people around me that are very negative.

Answer 1

if you start to feel negative, think about why you feel that way. if you figure out it is something you can change then do so. you also could try forcing yourself to see the 'silver lining' in everything that starts to make you feel negative. sometimes the people around you exude negativity and it rubs off on you, so if you realize someone does that(makes you feel drained or tired after talking to you) then stay ayaw from that person if possible

Answer 2

My mom is a very negative person. Thats where I get it from and I know she got it from her dad.

If you think of a negative thought... Like I want to kill myself or your such a loser. Just say Shut the Fu*k up in your head. Over time you brain nerves will move and you won't be as negative as before. You will have relapse of this and sometimes your brain will want to go back to the old habits. Just remember that your brain produces a chemical stimulant when your in love. The same thing happens when you hate yourself. You cells are addicted to this stimulant. That your brain produces. Just like a person hooked on drugs. That is why you can't quit. Or a person that likes to eat.

Answer 3

Answer 4

it is as easy as changing the way you say things... if you try to eliminate the words can't, don't, shouldn't, wouldn't, won't.... any NOT..in cases when you are talking about yourself...then you are set.... The problem is that our brain works more efficiently with information based on images... so, if I tell you NOT to imagine a... pyramid of naked people, your brain somehow manages to picture a bunch of naked people.... Our intuitive brain doesn't understand that part of our language... NO or NOT is only captured by our conscious mind.. for example... if I am saying to you that I am NOT a liar... what my unconscious is hearing would be I AM A LIAR.... so you see.... when somebody says hello..how are you today... and you say ... NOT so bad.... guess what message you brain is getting??? .... so ,, to be more positive just try to use positive synonyms

Answer 5

i find myself thinking negative..not on purpose it just happens. but when it does i just change the subject like singing a song to myself to get negative thoughts off my mind. and yes your idea about replacing people aroung you that are negative is a great idea too...remember birds of a feather flock together. good luck

Answer 6

You are thinking in the right direction. If you are around people who think negative they will bring you down. Its healthier to be around positive attitudes.

Answer 7

i find myself thinking negative quite often. When I start to get excited about something, My mind works over time to think of reasons why its stupid to be happy and i work myself right back into a slump again. Getting rid of negative people will definitely help. If you've noticed, whenever someone pays you a compliment, people tend to just blow it off and say oh theyre just being nice....but whenever someone insults us , we believe it. Negative people bring negative energy. Theyre down, so they want you to be down with them, and will work over time to make sure youre not happier than them.

Answer 8

that is a good idea, its like if you don't want to drink stay out of the bar, I want to be positive and happy, but things happen in life that make me negitive, how can you feel good when your alone, working your butt off and am overwhelmed with bills?

Answer 9

I am usually negative, though I don't show it too much. Helping out people and hanging out usually makes me happy, so... try it?

Answer 10

Thinking negatively is like taking poision...It will kill you. Dump the negative people around you...NOW!!!!
