What causes my brain to think negatively most of the time?
First, you need to realize that the negativity solves nothing and in no way is helping you. Then in short, catch yourself every time you think or speak negatively and try to say something positive. An example would be, “people on the roads are always acting like jerks and making me late to work”, can be changed to “I’m lucky I have a car to drive and a job to go to, maybe I need to leave a little earlier so these people do not ruin my mood and/or my day”. Step 2 is to be grateful. Even if it’s hard to be find something that you can be thankful for. Like the line at Starbucks is so long you hate waiting in line to remembering how good the hot coffee tastes and be thankful you can afford it and the coffee you like is the plus that’s why you wait in line. Step 3, be patient with yourself and others...it helps the negativity go away and finally start looking for ways to help others which distracts you from yourself and the negative thoughts. It brings others to you rather than push everyone away. Not everyone is a jerk or bad person. The more people you are uplifting and kind to the more you find the good in others and the less negative you become. Good luck, with anything, practice, practice, practice and be patient with yourself while you try to stop the negativity. READ MORE
