Positive Self Talk, Sometimes all we have is the power of our own self-talk. Positive thinking can take our lives in a new direction. There are several ways to engage in positive thinking.
- Deconstruct the negative thoughts. Challenge the thoughts and the source. Tell your self the negative thought is not true.
- Reframe the negative thoughts into positive, alternative thoughts.
- Rehearse positive and encouraging thoughts. Say affirmations every morning and every evening. Even if you don't believe the positive thoughts at first, the more you say them, the more you start to believe them.
