Do you overlook the good things about a situation and get wrapped up in the negatives? For example, you enjoy a fun dinner out with friends, but the restaurant gets your bill wrong at the end of the night. You leave feeling annoyed and frustrated, forgetting about the good time you had.โฃ โฃ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐น๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ. Do you tend to take on the blame for something bad or disappointing that happens? For example, a friend declines an invitation from you, so you assume itโs because they donโt want to spend time with youโฃ โฃ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ. This means you have one setback and then expect the worst to happen. For example, your car wonโt start in the morning, so you think the rest of your day is destined to be doomed.โฃ โฃ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ-๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ-๐๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด. Do you see things as either good or bad, with no middle ground? In this mindset, if things arenโt perfect, theyโre automatically bad.โฃ โฃ When you notice a negative thought, try to stop it and shift your focus to the positive. Think rationally about the situation. If it helps you to let go, you can give yourself and those around you grace. (You can still hold them accountable for their actions.)โฃ โฃ Your negative thoughts wonโt go away overnight. But with practice, you can train yourself to have a more positive outlook. Remember, you arenโt overlooking the facts. Youโre just including those that are good.โฃ โฃ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ดโฃ Once you have a handle on negative thinking, itโs time to play up the positive.
