Prepping for the New Year - Part 2So how did you do in your 24 hours of no negative thinking It was probably a very long evening but if you truly worked at it the time spent was eye-opening Today lets talk further about trying to break negative thinking addiction We have been talking about the fact that negative thinking can be a harmful addiction and about how to raise our awareness of the amount of negative thinking we do by learning to pay attention without blaming ourselves Today lets take it one step further and talk about what you can do to break this destructive habit once you realize that you have it The first thing to do is stop justifying or defending your negative thoughts While it may be true that they are perfectly ratio-nal they are not doing you or anyone else any good They are getting in the way of your interactions with family and friends and causing unnecessary distractions in the work place So stop labeling them as reasonable or unreasonable Just notice them Another thing to do is declare a ban on all negative thinking for short periods every day say for 30 minutes when you get up before you get in your car to drive anywhere or right before you go to bed Then gradually extend those times One final strategy is to be a champion Disputer Learn to argue with your negative thoughts and to replace them with positive ones Every possible subject has a positive side Accomplished positive thinkers know they have a choice about where they want to focus their attention and they choose the positive aspect You can too Say Yes to life and to breaking the negative thinking addiction If you start today imagine how you will feel in a few weeks The New Year will never look better
