Problem: Article: Affirmations can be useful in turning your negative thoughts into positives. To effectively counter those thoughts, though, you need to first identify them. Start by writing out a list of the negative thoughts you want to work on dismissing using positive affirmations. For example, if you constantly tell yourself that you are ugly and worthless, two negative thoughts worth writing down would be, "I think I don't contribute to the world around me," and "I am not happy with my appearance." Write down as many negative thoughts as you feel comfortable bringing up. Right now, you are just brainstorming things you may want to address. Once you've finished your list of negative thoughts, think about which ones impact you most in your daily life. To get the most out of your affirmations, you'll want to focus on one or two pieces of negative self-talk at a time. Use your list to help you decide which negative thoughts you want to get rid of the most. It can be tempting to try to conquer all your negative thoughts. Ultimately, though, you will have more success if you start with just one or two and work your way up. Try writing down whatever negative thoughts you have every day. After a week or 2, look at this journal to see what types of concerns or criticisms you keep having. These repeat thoughts should probably be a priority to fix. After you've picked out the piece of negative self-talk on which you want to focus, write a counter-argument for it. Provide yourself with evidence that counters your negative thought, and affirm how this evidence makes you feel about yourself. This will provide the basis for your affirmation. For example, if you are trying to counter the thought that you are not very smart, you could write, "I know how to design a program from the ground up and this makes me feel capable and intelligent." Don't lie to yourself in your counter-arguments. If you're not great at math, for example, don't tell yourself that you are. The most effective counter-arguments will be the ones rooted in truth. Draw from all the amazing skills and experiences you already have. Don't be overly positive in your affirmations, at least not at first. In fact, you are better off using neutral counterarguments rather than positive ones when you first begin. Over time, you can start to become more optimistic. Using your counter-argument as guidance, write out your affirmation. Your affirmation should identify yourself in a positive light and frame you as the kind of person you value. It should also use the feelings you identified in your counter-argument to support yourself and verify why you're worth your while. For example, a college student who feels unintelligent may say, "I am an intelligent, capable student who is on their way to graduating." Someone struggling with depression may write, "I am a loving, caring person who deserves to be happy." Take at least 5 minutes every day to say your affirmation to yourself over and over. If you can, look at yourself directly in the mirror and say your affirmation out loud during this time. It's going to feel uncomfortable at first, but affirmations only work through repetition. Sometimes you just have to adopt a "fake it 'til you make it" mentality. Continue this process for as long as you need to counteract your negative thought. For some people, this may be a matter of several weeks. For others, it could take months or even years. Your affirmation will slowly force your brain to confront the disconnect between what you are saying and how you see yourself. Repeating your affirmation helps retrain your brain to stop feeling so uncomfortable when you think positively about yourself.
Summary: Make a list of the negative thoughts you want to dismiss. Prioritize your list to identify what you want to work on. Write a counter-argument to your negative thought. Create your affirmation using your counter-argument. Repeat your affirmation daily for at least 5 minutes.

Problem: Article: Pick something you think is a passion, and talk to a friend about it. When you're done talking, ask them if you seemed intense or casual about it. If you talk for a long time and they say you were intense about it, that's a sign it's a passion. When you are talking about your passion, you will probably speak louder, faster, and more. You'll get worked up talking about it. You'll sound excited and won't want to stop talking. If they say you didn't seem to know very much, or you kept a pretty even tone, it's a hobby. You'll feel much more excitement talking about a passion than you will talking about a hobby. Choose something you do every week, or every few days, and stop doing it. If you think about it daily, miss it, and don't feel like doing anything else, you've found something that's a passion. If it doesn't bother you to stop doing it, it's likely to be a hobby. If you typically play ultimate frisbee every Wednesday, skip it this week. If you fill the time with something else and barely think about it, it's a hobby. Take a break from editing the film footage you are always shooting. If after two days you can't think straight because you want to be at the computer, you know it's a passion. Get an opinion besides your own from a set of standardized questions. Be honest about your feelings on the activity. You'll be able to learn how much it means to you from a set of questions and not just your own thoughts. A quiz like this can't tell you without a doubt whether something is a passion or a hobby. However, it forces you to be more objective about the activity than you are on your own. The websites of Clarity on Fire, Goodnet, and Paid to Exist offer different types of quizzes that help you gain a better idea of what hobbies could be passions.
Summary:
Tell someone about the potential passion, and ask for their reaction. Take a break from the activity for a week. Use a quiz as an objective guide.
