Positive thinking, getting rid of those automatic negative thoughts, what is Pollyanna-ism and how can it help you, these are all part of today's show. We're going to look at how you can have that positive mindset to help you survive and prosper no matter what life throws at you.
There are countless examples of people throughout history who had physical, mental, or emotional struggles in life, but instead of letting it define them, and keep them down, they used the opportunities that arose from those afflictions to help others.
If you let these automatic negative thoughts control your emotions, then you are likely to follow with a negative action. Maybe that action is a negative response to someone you're talking to, eating something unhealthy, or taking something unhealthy. Maybe your negative thoughts are telling you that you're not good enough, smart enough, or sharp enough. In any case those Automatic Negative Thoughts are keeping you from living the finest life you can have.
We'll learn two ways to take control of negative thoughts--and more-- in today's show!
