Automatic negative thoughts – “ATN” are the most common cause of dissatisfaction with life and the most serious obstacles when trying to achieve happiness. The following are examples of thoughts that belong to this group: "All or Nothing" (if I don't have it all, I have nothing); "Always" (when thoughts such as: always, never, everyone, no one, every time, and everything prevail in your mind); “Focusing on the Negative" and "Thinking with your Heart" (if you feel down, then your life seems dark); “Making Predictions” (when you predict things will go bad, convinced that these predictions are most certainly bound to happen); and, "Reading Other People's Thoughts " (she didn't call, so she's certainly mad at me)...
People who are their own biggest critics, pessimists, and people unable to cope with stress are utterly unhappy. They do not feel good about themselves, thinking they're overweight, unattractive, miserable…nothing is ever going right in their life and everyone is always working against them...
If you feel good about yourself and believe you are a beautiful person who deserves the best life has to offer, good things are bound to happen. These should be your thoughts and words: "I am a beautiful, kind person; good luck is on my side; and, I know I'll succeed...”
Believe in yourself. Don't hesitate to try new things and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Michael Jordan once said: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed 26 times. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Life is unpredictable. Not every day is beautiful. But this doesn't mean that we should give up and stop trying to make each day worthwhile. Sometimes it takes only a few seconds for an otherwise bad day to become good or even perfect (and vice versa).
START EVERY DAY WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND HOPE THAT IT WILL BE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN YOUR LIFE!
