Consciously or sub-consciously I’m simply aware that the first thoughts that pass through my mind are negative. I counter them with positive thoughts, but the negative ones seem to dominate.

Glad to hear you’re countering those negative thoughts with positive thoughts — do you believe the positive thoughts you’re telling yourself, though?

Often, the negative thoughts we have aren’t as accurate as they first seem. So, looking for evidence that supports them and evidence that doesn’t support them can help you come up with more accurate thoughts.

These more accurate thoughts are often more positive because they are more accurate — and with repeated practice, these more accurate thoughts might become the automatic thought rather than the typically less accurate, negative thought.

I hope this helps!
