Mindset Matters

Episode #232 Negative Thinking


Listen Later

Let me hit you with a crazy stat:
📊 77% of your thoughts today?
Negative. Self-defeating. Counterproductive.
That’s 50,000+ thoughts working against you.
But you’re not stuck.
Here’s how to fix negative thinking 🧵
Stop Speaking in Absolutes
“I always screw up.”
“They never pass me the ball.”
That’s not truth—it’s fear talking.
Replace it with:
“Sometimes I struggle—but I’m growing.”
Audit Your Circle
Who are you around?
Do they bring hope—or drag you down?
You don’t need a crowd.
You need a crew.
Mind Your Mouth
Your words shape your mindset.
“I can’t do this” → “This is hard, but I’m built for hard.”
Feed Your Brain Right
Books. Podcasts. People.
Get intentional about your input.
Control the Controllables
You don’t need to carry everything.
Focus on:
âś… Sleep
âś… Nutrition
âś… Attitude
âś… Preparation
Let go of the noise.
Look for the Good
Train your eyes to find:
Wins. Progress. People doing good.
Momentum stacks.
Mind the Gap
Between stimulus and response is your power.
Don’t react. Respond.
💭 Your thoughts are either training you…
or draining you.
You choose the path.
