“Negative thoughts stick around because we believe them, not because we want them or choose them.” ~ Andrew J. Bernstein
On a regular basis, are you bothered by negative, unwanted thoughts? If the answer is yes, don’t freak out. The average person has up to 60,000 thoughts a day so some of them are bound to be negative! Plus, studies show that 85% of the stuff we worry about actually ends up having a positive or neutral outcome.
But before you make up your mind to rid yourself of negative thoughts completely, remember that accepting negative emotions can actually be a powerful way to move forward. In fact, trying to be constantly upbeat can actually make us unhappier.
