questions to ask yourself

Everyone does have moments when negative thoughts will invade the mind. It is just not possible to be positive feeling all the times. Men do get worried and chickened out whenever there are signs of adversity. Only the courageous people will take on the problems and solve it! I do have a way to handle negativity and that is whenever you are behaving that way, take out a piece of paper and pen then answer these questions:

Question 1: What is your concern that make you feel negative? (It might be a concern that you’ll lose money or someone in your life. Just write it down to make it clear.)

Question 2: What happen that cause you having the concern? (You won’t have concern out of a sudden. What happen that make you start to concern? Probably you are not making sales that cause you concern about your business or your spouse just had an argument with you that cause you concern about the marriage.)

**After answering your question 2, cross out the answer of the question 1 because that is your expectation of the worst situation that might happen from question 2. Those are illusions that make you get stuck in your own negative thoughts.

Question 3: How to handle or deal with the answer in question 2? (Once you disappear your concern, this question bring you to think positively and move on. You are no longer stuck.)

After answering these 3 question, your negative thoughts will be gone and you’ll realize that you are already in a positive mindset.

Thanks Maria Duval for your inspirations!
