As our days become more and more demanding, negative thinking habits are easily developed. A tiny negative thought can and will transform into a monster of darkness detouring you from a bright future.
The good news is that a positive thought can and will transform into a vast garden of positive thoughts! With a little practice, one can combat negative thoughts and positivity can thrive.
Your journey towards positive thinking begins with noticing the use of trigger words. A trigger word sets a pathway for negative thinking and despair. Once used, these words create absolutes for negative outcomes, and therefore allows limited hope for a positive outcome.
So let begin on a brighter and more positive thought process.
Step 1. Identifying a Trigger Word
Look for the use of a negative word in sentence/ thinking. Examples of negative trigger words are as follows (but not limited to)
- Always
- Never
- Can’t
- Won’t
Step 2. Reframing the Thoughts
When a trigger word slips out- engage your sword of thought stopping! Conquer the words through smashing them and replacing them with a positive thought:
Examples of smashing negative thoughts are:
- Always becomes I Have The Power to
- Never becomes I Will
- Can’t becomes I Can
- Won’t becomes I Will
Catching and replacing negative thoughts takes practice. With perseverance, you will quickly begin to notice a more positive and bright future!
May all your days be filled with positivity!
