What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
We can’t live without having negative thoughts. They are an integral part of human brain. When we feel low, when things are not going according to what we planned, when we are not able to achieve our goals, or when someone close to our heart is suffering, there is no way negative thoughts will not cross our minds.
Now, having positivity in life is very important; the idea is to acknowledge those negative thoughts and then convert them into positive ones. How to do that is the most challenging part; it’s very easy to talk about being a positive person, but putting it into practice is not.
I read lots of self-help books to encounter negativity and subscribed to many channels on WhatsApp and Instagram that provide positive quotes each day.
- Daily Motivation channel on WhatsApp
- Strongmindsetelite on Instagram
- The_deep_thinker on Instagram
These are the external sources that keep me motivated. Also, I make sure to be around positive-minded people; I try my best to avoid pessimists. The reason is that the kind of person you are surrounded by makes you.
The last and most effective way to handle negative thoughts is to consider the worst-case scenario in that particular situation. Trust me, when you think that, you will realize it’s not that bad and can be overcome. That gives lots of positivity.
For example, given the market situation in the USA, driven by advances in AI, economic impacts, and government policies, the job market is weak, and layoffs are becoming common each day. Now it’s very common to have negative thoughts about job security. Now I think about the worst that can happen to me: job loss. I know that if I lose my job, it will also create an opportunity for me to move to a new organization that could prove instrumental to my career. It might take some time to get a new job, but it can never be the case that I will be jobless for the rest of my life. Even if it happens, I can do something else; one thing is sure, I will get something.
I always believe that everything happens for a reason, and that it is always for good. At that time, we felt bad about the situation, but later, once we moved on, we realized whatever happened was for the best.
