"Positive Thinking" by Susan Mitchie
" You are thinking negatively when you fear the future, put yourself down, criticize yourself for errors, doubt yourself, or expect failure. Negative damages confidence, harms performance, and paralyses mental skills.
If you find difficult to look at your negative thoughts objectively, imagine that, you are your best or a respected mentor or coach.
Look at the list of negative thoughts and imagine the negative thoughts, were written by someone you are giving objective advice to, and think how you would challenge these thoughts. When you challenge negative thoughts rationally, you should be able to see quickly, whether the thoughts are wrong or whether they have substance to them.
Where there is some substance, take appropriate action. In these cases, negative thinking an early warning system showing where you need direct your attention. Thought awareness helps you to understand the negative thinking, unpleasant memories and misinterpretation of situations, that may interfere with your performance and damages self confidence.
Rational thinking is a technique that helps you to challenge these negative thoughts and either learn more from them or refute them as incorrect.
Positive thinking is then used to create positive affirmations that you can use to counter negative thoughts.
These affirmations neutralize negative thoughts and build self confidence. It is also used to find the opportunities almost always present to some degree in a difficult situation. "
