    About this ebook

    If You Want To Break Free From Negative Thought Patterns, Stop Worrying And Learn To Think Positive, Here's The Right Book For You!

     

    Do you find it hard to fall asleep because your brain won't stop worrying?

    Do you feel stuck in an endless loop of uncontrollable negative thoughts?

    Do you struggle with problem-solving because you can't stop overthinking?

     

    You're not alone. Around 18% of the population suffer from anxiety, and up to 73% of adults admit that they overthink.

     

    In fact, our brains are wired to look out for potential dangers. We remember negative events more vividly than positive ones. We instinctively look for negative things and imagine worst-case scenarios.

     

    This instinct is helpful when you're lost in a jungle full of hungry predators.

     

    But in our safe and comfortable lives, our negativity bias can get out of control. When you don't have to worry about being eaten by a tiger, your brain might start worrying about your future grandkids' careers or that awkward conversation that happened five years ago. If you don't make a conscious effort to manage your negative thoughts, you'll get lost in an endless loop of negativity - or, even worse, a downward spiral.
     

    When your mind is engrossed in negative thoughts, it becomes blind to amazing opportunities that life throws at you. It becomes blind to possible ways of solving the very problem you're worrying about. It becomes blind to the simple joys of life and ends up depressed.

     

    But what if you could eliminate negative thinking?

    What if you could stop thinking about problems and start solving them?

    What if you could love and appreciate yourself instead of beating yourself up?


    Derick Howell, an anxiety coach with decades of experience, is here to help you.

     

    His insightful book will help you banish negativity from your life and learn to love yourself.

     

    Here's a sneak peek of what you'll find in this book:

     

    • The mistakes you're probably making when dealing with negative thoughts
    • 13 simple ways to clear your mind and relax when you're getting anxious
    • The easiest therapist-approved way to change your thought patterns
    • A step-by-step guide to building positive thinking habits
    • The surprising reason why thinking about problems won't help you solve them
    • Mind hacks that will help you overcome worry and stop negative thinking
    • A complete guide to cultivating self-love and breaking the spell of negativity

     

    If you've ever tried to overcome negativity, you know that just telling yourself to "think positive" won't cut it. This book offers a comprehensive toolkit of actionable strategies and techniques that will help you eliminate the deep-seated causes of your anxiety, manage your day-to-day worries, stop overthinking in its tracks, and finally love yourself the way you deserve to be loved.

    Introduction

    Negative thinking is a very common problem that most people have encountered at some point in their lives. Although positive thinking is widely advocated by many health and wellness experts, getting yourself out of the rut of negative thoughts can be very challenging. Even if you are a person who analyzes their thoughts frequently, it can be difficult to tell the difference between negative thinking, and the everyday worries and anxieties that everyone deals with.

    While it is normal to worry about issues such as divorce and financial problems, when these thoughts become too intrusive and unrelenting, they may wreak havoc not only on your personal life but also on your career and professional relationships.

    It is for this reason that you need to understand what negative thinking is, how it manifests in your life and how you can overcome it. In doing so, you will be able to safeguard your mental health, become more resilient to change and be more capable of dealing with any challenges that come up in your personal and professional life.

    So what is negative thinking and how do you determine which thoughts represent normal levels of concern and which are overly negative?

    In general, negative thinking refers to a thought process in which one only sees the worst aspects of things, events, people and experiences. A negative thinker will always expect the worst possible outcome from every situation. Most people who engage in constant negative thinking also tend to reduce their expectations. They do this by considering only the worst possible scenarios in order to shield themselves from disappointment. Moreover, it is not uncommon for individuals who engage in negative thinking to suffer from low self-esteem and low self-confidence, since they are likely to focus on the things they consider inadequate about themselves.

    Negative thinking may arise due to several factors. One of the most common causes of this type of thinking is depression. Most people experience a balanced mix of positive and negative thoughts throughout their day. Someone who has depression experiences a distorted view of the world, often through a filter of constant negative thinking. They may perceive themselves as a failure in life and unworthy of love or success. They may also view the world as inherently cruel and hostile. In addition to negative thinking, depression also affects the way individuals feel about themselves. People who are afflicted with this illness tend to feel very sad, despondent, fatigued and lethargic. This can compound the negative thinking and lead to even more serious health problems and sometimes, sadly, suicide. In most instances, people never realize that their negative thinking stems from depression. They may brush it off as simply being a normal part of who they are.

    Another mental health condition that is closely associated with negative thinking is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Individuals who suffer from OCD typically experience unwanted, recurring thoughts and sensations which compel them to do certain things repeatedly, or in a very specific way. For instance, an OCD sufferer might feel the need to double-check their looks excessively, be fixated on organization, or repeat certain words or tasks repeatedly. Moreover, they might spend time over cleaning their clothes or washing their hands excessively due to an irrational fear of germs. This mental health condition is categorized as an anxiety disorder since the affected individuals perform these actions to lessen their anxiety. Due to this constant worry, people who have OCD tend to experience negative thinking more than those who don’t. They may perceive themselves as being at risk of some impending danger if they do not satisfy these impulsive thoughts and needs. Even though most OCD sufferers tend to have an awareness that their obsessive thinking is not rooted in reality, they still find it difficult to control the behavior. Fortunately, this mental health condition, like many others, can be managed with the right help and support.

    However, this does not mean that normal, healthy individuals are immune to the perils of negative thinking. In fact, there are plenty of reasons why even the most optimistic people find themselves in negative thinking loops at one point or another. Negative thoughts in most people arise out of fear of the future and anxiety about the prevailing circumstances in their lives. For instance, due to aging or time limitations, a person may worry about not achieving everything they had hoped to do in their lives. This might lead to feelings of anxiety, which if not confronted and dealt with, can affect one’s mental and physical health. Some individuals may also feel anxious about past events, and how they have shaped their lives. This often leads to self-criticism, which may exacerbate negative thinking.

    Regardless of where your negative thinking stems from, there is absolutely no reason why you should continue to wallow in these thoughts if they are affecting your life in negative ways. There are numerous techniques that can help you intercept your negative thoughts and manage them effectively when they arise.

    I have been an anxiety coach for more than a decade. During this time, I have taught many individuals how to properly use these techniques to counter negative thoughts. I have also conducted numerous training workshops and seminars designed to help people overcome negative thinking loops which are holding them back from living their lives to the fullest.

    There are many benefits to learning how to control negative thinking. Firstly, by countering your negative thoughts with positive thinking, you will be able to overcome mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. You will also develop a more balanced perception of the world and yourself. In addition to this, you will be better equipped with the skills to cope with stressful life events and situations in a healthy way.

    It is also no secret that anxiety and incessant worrying contributes to health problems such as hypertension and heart disease. By learning how to counter your negative thought loops, you can significantly reduce the risks of developing these health issues, which can be fatal if not managed effectively. So, by extension, getting yourself out of the rut of negative thoughts will help you increase your lifespan!

    Unfortunately, overcoming negative thinking patterns is not as easy as most people think. As a person who has suffered from persistent negative thinking and anxiety, I can assure you that there are many challenges and obstacles that you will encounter along the way. This, however, should not cause you to lose hope! As long as you make a conscious resolve to end your negative thinking and are persistent about this goal, you will begin to enjoy remarkable results very soon. The tricks and techniques outlined in this book have helped not only myself but also thousands of other individuals throughout the world. I have no doubt, therefore, that they will work for you too, in your journey to
