-be-treated-as-normal-resident-of-india/30274/
1. I am helpless, I have no control.
Helplessness is a learned behavior that may or may not stem from real life debil
itating circumstances. But constantly thinking helpless thoughts only reinforces
the feelings of having no control
and therefore negates your ability to empower
yourself. Helplessness leads to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, furth
er entrenching you in a compromised life.
New positive thought: I am powerful and in control of my life and destiny. I hav
e the ability to create my life just as I want it to be.
2. I m probably going to get sick.
As mentioned above, the nocebo effect is powerful. If you tell yourself you re goi
ng to get sick, you re increasing the changes that you will. Stop ruminating about
your health or your fears of illness or death. Retrain your brain to think heal
thy life-affirming thoughts.
New positive thought: Good health is my birth right, and I am immune from illnes
s. I bless my body daily and take good care of it.
3. Nothing good ever happens for me.
It s easy to host a mental pity party when you ve encounter a failure or been passed
up for something good. But focusing on the situation and assuming it defines yo
ur future only assures that it WILL define your future. Good things can and will
happen for you again.
New positive thought: Every day I am surrounded by an abundance of opportunities
. Good things keep on happening to me.
4. He/she doesn t really love me.
When we have a disagreement with our spouse or partner, or they let us down in s
ome way, it s easy to fall into the mental trap of feeling unloved and unappreciat
ed. We ruminate over the situation and the poor treatment we ve received and deter
mine they must not really love us. This fosters emotional insecurity and needine
ss which truly does jeopardize the relationship and your partner s feelings.
New positive thought: I release a desperate need for love and welcome the joyful
experience of love.

5. I m afraid I can t do this.

Life presents us with challenges, difficult tasks, and even positive new opportu
nities that feel daunting. Even when we want something desperately, our inner fe
ars and insecurities whisper in our ears telling us we re incapable or not strong
enough to do what must be done. These negative thoughts are nearly always untrue
. We ARE capable of doing what we set our minds to. It s only the negative thought
s that keep us from achievement.
New positive thought: I accomplish everything I set out to do. I easily stay foc
used on my objectives and release all fear of failure.
6. I will never lose all this weight.
When you are overweight, the thoughts of all it takes to lose the weight feels i
mpossible. Finding the energy and motivation to exercise, change your diet, and
be consistent and disciplined almost doesn t seem worth it. But you know the healt
h implications of holding on to the weight, not to mention what it s doing to your
self-esteem. All of the negative thoughts are making it even harder to take the
first step toward health.
New positive thought: I AM motivated to lose every ounce of body fat that I desi
re. It is so easy for me to lose body fat that the extra weight just falls off m
y body.
7. I m not deserving, I m not good enough.
We all feel we re not good enough from time to time, but when these thoughts of lo
w self-worth are constant, they impact how you appear to others. Your lack of co
nfidence in yourself ensures that others won t be confident in your abilities or a
ttracted to you. Believing in yourself and your inherent worthiness are essentia
l for happiness and success in life.
New positive thought: I am deserving, worthy and entitled to success, happiness,
and well being. I have confidence in myself and my abilities to do anything.
8. I feel terrible, I have no energy.
It s hard not to focus on how you feel when you have low energy days or you re feeli
ng under the weather. But focusing on your physical distress only highlights you
r discomfort and tells your brain to send low energy signals to your body.
New positive thought: I let go of all resistance to perfect health. I feel incre
asingly energetic and comfortable inside and out.
9. Why can t I be happy? I m never happy.
There are days and even weeks when we simply don t feel happy. Maybe things aren t g
oing the way we want them to in our lives. Or maybe it s simply inexplicable. Unha
ppiness just settles over us like a dark cloud. Whatever the reason for your unh
appiness, pondering it and wondering why you feel the way you do continues to ke
ep your mind engaged in unhappy thoughts. The first step toward happiness is cha
nging your thoughts.
New positive thought: I am grateful for this wonderful life. I am thankful for e
veryone who has touched my life and made it worth living. Being happy comes easy
to me. Happiness is my second nature.
10. I can t stand that person. I am so angry.
We have encounters with people every day who offend us, yank our chains, or make

us feel angry or hurt. We roll the negative encounter around in our brains, try
ing to justify our position and mentally demean the other person. How could they
say that? What a jerk. The more we think about the situation, the angrier or mo
re hurt we feel. We blow the situation out of proportion or give power to the ot
her person by sinking into negativity. And of course anger takes a toll on your
physical and mental well-being.
Positive new thought: I respect and love myself enough to let go of anger and li
ve in peace. I am able to diffuse my anger and channel it in a more productive w
ay.
11. I m getting so old, I can t do anything anymore.
Aging is scary. Every day we are presented with new evidence we aren t the same yo
ung thing we once were. We look in the mirror and feel our opportunities are sli
pping by and our abilities are compromised. As we mentally reinforce these thoug
hts, we start to feel old, act old, and are perceived as too old by the people a
round us. But are negative thoughts are playing tricks on us. We can accomplish
great things, even as we get into our 70 s, 80 s, and 90 s.
Positive new thought: I am full of youthful energy. Each day I feel younger and
more alive. I live a healthy, active, productive, and exciting life.
12. I will never find love.
When you are without a significant other in your life, it feels as though the en
tire world is in love except you. Every day you think about the lack of love in
your life, and your thoughts make you feel desperate and lonely. You wonder over
and over if you will ever find love and come to believe that it s not in the card
s for you. You feel unlovable, and those feelings are reflected in your behavior
and demeanor, pushing away any potential love interests.
Positive new thought: I open my heart to myself and I trust that true love will
follow. I am lovable and worthy of receiving love.
13. I will never forgive him/her.
People close to us can betray or wound us with their words and actions. They can
hurt us deeply, sometimes without acknowledging what they ve done or apologizing.
It s hard to believe someone we care about could do this to us. Your pain is so d
eep you think constantly about how this person hurt you and how you can never fo
rgive them or forget what they ve done. With every thought, the pain is more profo
und and the anger boils your blood. You have a growing seed of negative energy e
xpanding within you, causing physical and emotional anguish.
Positive new thought: I am ready to be healed. I am willing to forgive. All is
well. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them wit
h love.
14. I ll never make enough money.
A lack of money makes us feel insecure and frightened. When we aren t making enoug
h money or we re in debt, we become desperate and panicky. The more we think about
our circumstances, the more frightened and insecure we become. Our judgement be
comes impaired because we are making decisions from a perspective of lack. Our t
houghts translate into poor decisions, low confidence, and inertia which hold us
back from doing what needs to be done to make more money.
Positive new thought: I am capable and worthy of making more than enough money t
o support myself and live a great life. I am blessed with abundance right now an

d grateful for my ability to make money.

15. I m overwhelmed. My life is a mess.
Our busy lives filled with work, family obligations, distractions, and chores ma
ke us feel overwhelmed. Sometimes life is so busy and demanding you feel paralyz
ed and out of control. How will you ever get out from under this mound of things
to do? What should you do first? The more you think about it, the more panicky
and distressed you feel. As your thoughts roil in your head, you can t do anything
but worry about how you ll ever get it all done.
Positive new thought: I more capable than anyone of deciding what is most import
ant to do. I feel confident in my abilities and have plenty of energy to take ac
tion and get things done to create a balanced, calm life.
Negative thinking is a mental trap that compromises your experience of life, as
well as your emotional and physical well-being. Taking control of your negative
thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts is the first step in changing
the reality of your life. As your thoughts change, your feelings and actions wi
ll follow, allowing you to experience joy, great health, and success.
