How to Acquire Confidence Overnight by Crushing Your Negative Thinking Patterns
By Jack Daniel Morris


We all know that negative thinking and constant worrying can ruin our lives. And it is also a well known fact that our moods are shaped by our thoughts. When we worry constantly, sometimes with reason and sometimes without any reasonable ground, our whole mind becomes polluted and corrupt, our mood takes a downward spin and our mental energies also get lowered.

Why do you need to stop your negative thinking?

The kinds of beliefs you have and the types of thoughts that run on in your mind, deeply impact your mental health and consequently your physical health. When you mostly indulge in negative thinking, it creates negative feelings and emotions like anxiety, tension, hypertension and mental depression, to say nothing of associated conditions like insomnia, sleeplessness, poor digestion, gastric troubles, loss of mental peace and stability, poor concentration levels, reduced productivity at work and so on.

All this results in excessive mental stress which also takes a toll on your physical constitution. Besides, your irritable and complaining nature becomes an ear sore for your near and dear ones. People who are habitual negative thinkers never feel satisfied with anything in life which can create problems in work life as well as on the personal front. And the fact that you start thinking of yourself as a loser makes matters worse.

Tips to grow confidence and overcome negative thought patterns

The simple image system can help you overcome self doubt, while negative programming can help you boost your confidence, overcome anxiety, destroy negative thinking and eliminate stress. Whenever a negative thought comes into your mind, instead of resisting it or trying to deny it, think of an associated positive thing. It is not easy. You have to go on practicing this way for a long time.

But the result will be worth the labor. Soon a time will come, when negative thoughts will float into your mind, but they will come chained to or pegged to an associated positive thought. In this process, you are substituting or replacing a negative thought with a positive one and the method is akin to chaining or pegging.

There are several other ways of overcoming negative thinking patterns. You have to realize that ultimately the only person who gets majorly hurt by this kind of habitual negative thinking is you. Your pessimism is killing only you and bringing misery to your life. What is the point in hurting yourself so much and indulging in so much of masochistic thinking? Rather, if you channelized this abundant mental energy into doing something constructive and positive, it would create a lot of positive incidents and milestones in your life. more...
