My boyfriend thinks that thinking negative is so much easier than thinking positively. What could I do to help him get out of the negativity rut?

since you're not married to him, if at first you don't succeed, ditch his sorry butt.

Ya know what, he's right! Negative thinking is much easier than positive thinking...but it makes for one tough journey through this life.
Negative thoughts and feelings are all around us. The media slaps us in the face with them at every chance they get. It's about a wonder the whole world isn't in some pessimistic rut!
However, positive thinking in a world of negative emotion takes effort. The energy we put out into the world is the energy that will attract us.
If we can think positive in the face of all that tries to destroy us, or if we can laugh in the place we used to cry, life will take on a much stronger meaning.
I recommend the book The Power of Positive Thinking. It's a great tool to start turning back the clock on negative thought patterns.
Happiness and peace to you!

Is he having a problem with his negativity rut or are you? I agree that thinking negatively is basically just being lazy and I agree that it's a turn-off in a person, but if he likes walking around with a dark cloud over his head, how are you going to change that?

It's hard to change the way someone thinks. Just don't let his thinking bring YOU down. Make sure you stay positive and just be an example of good thoughts.

Talk to him about positive things.Maybe he'll start thinking more positively if you set a good influence on him.If that doesn't work , then just tell him to talk to someone about it if doersn't feel talking about it with gf.Well, if it still doesn't wrk like that , then take him to a theripist.
