- Simple, take it in and throw it out. Some can do it as simply as this, while for others it can take some time.
- People who worry take a bit longer to overcome a negative thought than non-worriers. But it is not to say that negative thoughts cannot be overcome at all.
- As soon as you get a negative thought try and identify it – is it a thought, feeling or action.
- As soon as you identify the negative emotion, you can objectively view it and discard it.
- Get busy with things like studying, sports and reading or hobby classes and don't allow negative thoughts to creep in.
- And even if they do, so what? Develop a 'So what!' attitude and you will notice a difference.
