EP087 Use This Simple Technique To Interrupt Negative Thought Patterns
As a trainer I’ve read thousands of quotes and this one is in my top five favorites:
“It isn’t what you have or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”
Dale Carnegie
This message is essential to managing your mindset with the goal of establishing positive attitude habits!
- What are you thinking about?
- How do those thoughts make you feel?
- If your thoughts are making you feel good and empowering you, keep thinking those thoughts!
- If your thoughts are bringing you down and making you feel negative or powerless, or overly stressed, think about something else!
Seems easy, right?
Until you try it. And then you will probably experience how quickly we return to negative thoughts. Try again…and a few minutes later your thoughts may turn back to that negative topic.
LIVE IT! is a reality check: we aren’t always feeling what we are feeling because of what has happened around us, but rather, how we think about what has happened around us.
The solution, even if only short-term, is simple and somewhat scientific. You have the power to trick your body into chemical responses that will make you feel better – and, if you are an average person without medical issues, you don’t even need drugs or alcohol!
You need to think about something other than the stressful topic. The more SIMPLE the topic, the better!
Don’t go from thinking about a parent who is dying to thinking about how you, alone, can create world peace – that’s too complicated and will only frustrate you further!
Don’t go from thinking about your stressful teenager to thinking about how you, alone, can cure world hunger! That will only bring you down.
Interrupt negative thought patterns by focusing on simple things that make you so happy, you actually have a positive physical response when you think about them. Listen to this episode and read the book to learn more.
Get Catherine Goggia’s book, “LIVE IT! Mastering Positive Attitude Habits, 15 Practical Tips for Managing Your Mindset,” on Amazon:

Does your role include responsibility for employee performance discussions? If so, those conversations just go a lot easier for you! Go to the Relatable Leaders website and send me your email request for the Performance Management Worksheet, a discussion tool that organizes all the key points of these important conversations.

My focus is training supervisors and managers, or front line employees who have the goal to promote to leadership some day. The time to start behaving like a leader is before you fill a leadership position. The information, tools, and resources shared in this podcast are designed to help you reach your highest potential in your career. I taught college level Business Communication and Employee Readiness courses for 15 years. Employees and students tell me my courses change their lives for the better, and my evaluations consistently rate me as an engaged and motivational speaker. I decided to produce a podcast in the effort to support a broader audience of people in higher levels of job satisfaction and productivity, as well as encourage people to find jobs for which they are a good fit.
Please and Thank you for *RATE & REVIEW* on iTunes and Stitcher – your review might inspire someone else to listen and receive the assist they need to be more successful in their job!
If you know anyone getting ready to start college, or even at a crossroads in life trying to put things back together in a positive way, I encourage you to give them my book, From Average Student to Academic Rock Star! This is my foundational college orientation available on Amazon in paperback. Set up like a workbook with action steps, this information has helped thousands of people get their goals on track. Some readers are purchasing it as a gift, and then deciding to keep it for themselves because of the life lessons addressed in the book. Check it out on Amazon!
