The first step in overcoming your negative thinking is acknowledging that it exists. Ignoring these thoughts does you no better than dwelling on them, so both behaviors should be avoided. Instead of trying to push these thoughts away, take a moment to think about them and to examine how you are feeling in your body. Developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence is the first step towards becoming more positive. For instance, perhaps you are thinking "I will never be able to do this job". Acknowledge the thought, and then move on to addressing it. You can also try asking yourself some questions to understand your negative thoughts better. For example, you can ask, "What emotions am I feeling along with these negative thoughts?" "When did I start having these thoughts?" "What was I doing, or who was I interacting with when these thoughts occurred?" and "When was the earliest time in my life when I first started experiencing these feelings and thoughts? What happened during that time? Who was in my life then?" Sometimes, our negative thoughts are rooted in something bad we have done or something we dropped the ball on. Remember that you are human and that no human is perfect. Acknowledge your feelings but then forgive yourself for what caused them. Though it is normal to re-experience guilt, it is also okay to let it go. For instance, perhaps you have been off of your diet for a few days even though you pledged that you would keep it up. Though you should work to keep promises to yourself, remember that you will make mistakes from time to time and that is okay. Gaining a better understanding of your negative thoughts may be helpful. Ask yourself questions about the negative thoughts you are experiencing to gain better understanding of the issue. You can ask yourself questions like, "Why am I having this thought? Is it benefiting me right now?" "If this thought is created from an interaction or experience, do I have all the facts to validate why I am having these thoughts?" "Is this something I can change within me, and how can I make this change for the better?" "Am I dwelling on these thoughts?" "Am I having racing nagging negative thoughts to the point where it is disrupting my daily life?" and "Am I able to utilize healthy coping skills to address these negative thoughts? If so, what are these coping skills, and have I utilized them effectively? Or, is this a pressing issue that maybe needs assistance from a professional therapist or counselor?" You may not be where you want to be at the moment and that's okay. Take some time to reflect on the progress that you have made as it relates to your negative thinking. You will often times find that you don't give yourself enough credit for the strides that you have made. For instance, if you are thinking of yourself as being a terrible student, reflect on the time that your professor gave you high marks on a paper or how you have recently spent more time studying. You might find it helpful to process your emotions by writing them out, so get out your journal and develop a 'thought record.' Write down the thought that you had, how you're feeling, why you may feel that way, and solutions to eliminate this kind of thinking in the future. Identify when the negative thought arose. Identify the source of your negative thought. For instance you might write something like: I had a thought that I am not good enough and that made me feel sad. I feel this way because I got a bad grade a few weeks ago. However, I have been studying more lately and feel more confident." Though you should not avoid your negative thoughts, you should also consider what good can possibly come from them. You will often find that negative thinking rarely yields any positive results. The more you work out your negative thinking, the more rarely you will experience these kinds of thoughts. For instance, if during a project you think "I cannot do this" consider how that will impact your work. It will likely put a wrench in the process, so try instead to be positive and productive. Try to redirect your thoughts to two or three positive thoughts whenever you have a negative thought. For example, if you are feeling upset at yourself for failing a math test, then you might reflect on the A+ you got on your history test, or how quickly you ran the mile in gym class the other day. Or, you could just think about something about yourself that you like, such as your kind nature or your personal style.
