EP45: How to Stop Negative Thinking


Listen Later

“Life is too short. You only have today. Don’t waste another moment of your precious life living with negative thinking.”

Diane Forster (20:45-20:53)

When you stop negative thinking, you can manifest abundance in every area of your life. 

For over two decades, I lived such an unfulfilling life that I attempted suicide. But in that bathroom, I had a God moment. The pills were knocked out of my hands and a voice screamed in my ear, “You’re not going to end your life this way. You need to get help so you can tell your story and help others.”

I reached out for help and started developing processes to help me live intentionally and positively every single day. 

“What I was manifesting in my life previously was a direct result of not just the thoughts but the words, too.”  -Diane Forster (5:22-5:29)

This was when I discovered the power of mantra meditations, and my massive transition into an abundant life came to be.

I want to help you make this massive transformation, too.

There are two main myths surrounding negative thoughts. 

Myth #1: There’s something wrong with me.

I’m here to tell you, there is nothing wrong with you. The negative thoughts are what you’ve taken in from other resources, other people, and the environment. And it happens to EVERYONE. 

Myth #2: This is the way I’ve always been, so this is the way I’m always going to be.

This is simply a limiting belief. I promise, you don’t have to stay stuck with these thoughts for ever. 

You have the power to change that belief, and break through the walls standing in the way of an abundant life. 

Keys to Turn Around Negative Thinking

Key #1: Create awareness.

Learn to be aware of the very moment your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions start moving in a negative direction and then ask yourself, “Is that really true?”

I talk about this process in my book, I HAVE TODAY: Find Your Passion, Purpose and Smile...Finally! on page 61, which I call the EED process -- Emotional Energy Diffusers. This is a three-step process:

  1. Breathe
  2. Think - Is this really true?
  3. Praise - Commend yourself for catching the thought in that moment. 

Key #2: Change Your Beliefs

Beliefs are just thoughts you’ve been thinking over and over again. The beautiful thing is, you can change your beliefs. 

What do you desire to be true about yourself, your relationships, your life? It’s time to start speaking about yourself the way you WANT to see yourself. You are smart. You are beautiful. You are capable of maintaining lasting, fulfilling relationships, if that is what you desire. 

Key #3: Build Momentum

You build momentum by starting a new routine. Just like you feed your body every day with food and water, you feed your subconscious mind every day with positive, uplifting thoughts.

Incorporate positive thinking into your DAILY routine. Get into the habit of feeding your mind the thoughts of abundance. As soon as you desire something, the Universe is already at work, putting the actions into motion to bring you what you desire. Consistency is the key to replace the negative thought patterns that have been ingrained into your mind for years. 

“Get ahead of it, create the awareness, change those beliefs, build the positive momentum, and start living in the abundance that you came here to live. You don’t have a moment to waste.”  -Diane Forster (20:54-21:07)
