Confidence Hack #98: We are often told, ‘negative thoughts are a bad thing. Don’t think negative thoughts.’

That’s precisely the opposite of what you want to do. If you don’t allow yourself to think negative thoughts, your body will suppress the thoughts, and ultimately, it will lead to a downhill spiral of increased stress, anxiety, and depression.

Research has shown that our brain is hardwired for negative thinking. 

Here are 3 ways you can embrace your negative thoughts today and live a more positive, fulfilling life tomorrow. 

1. Write out how you are feeling—write out on a piece of paper or in your journal all of your current negative thoughts, your thoughts about others and yourself. This is a subconscious way of ‘throwing out the trash.’ 
2. Talk to someone about your negative thoughts—a good friend, a parent, your spouse, someone who will not judge you. 
3. After you have written and talked about your negative thoughts, replace them with a positive one. What is the ‘swap’ you can make? Ex: You work with a narcissist in your job and then suck the energy out of your day. Swap the time you give to the narcissist to the people who you do love being around. No one can steal your mental energy unless you open the door and allow them to. 

Gain confidence today, knowing that embracing negative thoughts is actually a good thing! Acknowledging your negative thoughts will only lead to a much more positive life!
