Yes! Learning to be less neurotic starts with the belief that you can change. Cognitive behavioral therapy is commonly used to help people retrain their thought patterns to be less negative. If therapy is not an option, there are things you can do at home to lessen your neurotic tendencies.  If you tend toward pessimism and negativity, start a gratitude journal and list at least five things you are grateful for every day. Learn mindfulness techniques to keep you grounded in the present, which reduces anxiety and stress. Seek out ways to reduce or relieve stress, such as coloring or listening to music.
