As long as you know you think negative, you can work on it.

Try to detect some good things in de situations you get in instead of why is this happening to me. When people say something to you, don't think that they say it to hurt you but try to find out if it is possible that they said it to help you in some way or maybe they are not fully aware of the situation and is that why they jumped to the wrong conclusion. You could inform them or if you don't want to do that, ignore the thing they said. They didn't know any better.

I don't know what you really mean of negative thinking ? I think you mean negative thoughts ? do you ? Such as I am stupid or I am loser .. if you want to overcome the negative thoughts you can but if you be a postive .. just talk to your self with positivity
until program yourself postively .. it takes time to become completely postive !

Hello!. I am a person that falls into that state of mind very often, and what gives me a better result is to go for a walk or make a little bit of exercise. If I cannot do this in that moment I try to change to an activity that draws my atention completely. Cheer up!

Hi

i'm not too sure what kind of negative thinking you might be struck with. but often we start to feel negative when we are not prepared for an outcome. Firstly admit to youself that whatever happened ..had a reason. it could be that you are suffering for low-selfesteem ... nothing to worry about! sometimes things set us off and we tend to feel down. praveen you gotta find out the base of ur problem. why are you thinking so negative? what happened........ list a bunch of things. and work on each and every thing one at a time. we are allowed to make mistakes.. if we didnt make mistake we'd have nothing to learn from.
again i dont know what exactly are you feeling negative about..
i would say....... ADMIT to yourself if you are not good at somethng... and then try to work on it. may be change ur ways to see if a different outcome results. be open with yourself... there is no point in hiding things from urself.... know yourself and be comfortable with urself. ask others for help... dont focus on every little thing and dwell on it. take a break. i hope i helped in some way or another. i really dont know ur specific prob so i couldnt say much. enjoy! and smileSmile [:)]

Negative side= i am someone of consistant negative thinking. For instance my preception of the world is dark. The Presedents a Crook, all commercials are dezined to drain u dry of money, the world dosent exist and u can never be happy or content only misrable because you are born in a world where u have to work your ass off every day from birth (School) and when u get out (Work) and never have time to do everything u wana do nor the funds# you cant be happy so dont bother trying instead just tell everyone to skrew off. The only problem is its so eazy to not care about everything for instance. My girlfriend broke up with me, who cares im not suposed to be happy anyway. My car broke down, its the macanics fault the munny grubbing bastard rigged my car up so i would have to take it back a week from my last visit. Or* i got fired because i have a negative attatude tward the customers skrew it work is bullshit anyway ill just find some half ass job that keeps me fed.

Downside to this? yes the more u think like this the more u will think like this and the more u take the eazy path the worse u will feal and the worse you life will become and nobudy will like u.

PositiveSide=In my case i can happaley say that i am a verry attractive helthy male and i know im attractive because their is not one single girl that i cannot get with i have a nack for the opposite sex. also i live in a free house and get a check every month for doing nuthing.

I think realy negative all the time tho but yet my life is compleetley normal. why? because mostley my girlfriend im allways worried about her because i love her so much this is my problem just the cloths she wares i get mad at her because i see her advertizeing her body
but whe4n i look all the other girls dress the same way so why should i expect her to dress differentley. but i cant help this so instead i call her ugley and stuff witch is not cool but i do it so she dosent realize what a peace of shit i am even tho im not!. the funny thing is even tho she is extreemley fine and sweet and kind i tend to not want her because she is too much hastle highmatnance like she wants to go to the movies all the time and i dont so therefor shes not worth being with.

Fix- What do 2 negatives =? positive yes thats right!. this is how i used to think and still kinda do untill i realized all i gota do is negative think the negative thoughts eg.. im not supossed to be happy because this world sucks. but if u negative that im not suposed to feel depressed because i lost my job all i gota do is find a better oneSmile [:)]

or my macanic broke my car so i would go back. Check to see if this is true witch mostlikeley its not and then learn to fix your car your self. and gain self esteem at teh same time by knowing u know how to fix yr own car.

or do soemthing that is compleetley trivial like working out witch i do. and then pretend that the more u work out the more those negative thoughts fall out of your head and next thing u know your buff like me u have a better job than u used to and you know how to fix your own car. and after all that u cannot possabaly look at anything bad because u have it allWink [;)] and remember life is a gift not a curse and everything in nature must be ballanced and so must your every day life u have to take the good with the bad because if u dident have bad then good wouldent be nearley as good! and without good u would still know what bad is because its geneticaly programmed therefor u must take the bad and just realize that the crappyer your day is today the better tomorrow or the next day is going to be! and learn to apreaciate everything like the way the water moves or the way the trees sway.
