Once you realize you’re responsible for where you are right now, the doors have opened and you can begin to change. You can change your life by changing your thoughts.

As soon as you begin to have a negative thought, you must switch (as soon as possible) to a positive one. It doesn’t have to be a positive thought about that same subject. It just has to be some positive thought such as mine “everything always works out for me”. I have several others I use that are shorter and I can just pull out of my head. Depending on your faith it could be as simple as “God is good”.

You can’t push a negative thought away. You can’t erase it. You can only substitute another thought for the negative one.

Don’t beat yourself up because that is more negative thoughts. Just move on by doing the substitution.

It’s simple but not easy. It requires vigilance and discipline but you can do it. You should practice when things are going fairly well so you can become aware without having to also worry about an emotional charge.

Take some time and come up with your go-to positive thought. Then begin practicing
