Identifying Negative Thought Patterns

As we are in the second week advent. Let us all work on becoming better with our thoughts for the Birth of Christ fast approaching the us in 15 days.  When in doubt please contact your local mental health provider and or call Dr. Nicholas at 877 867 8556 during the Emergency Room moment.  

Most of all let us rely on Christ our God for the most informable healing and guidance during the of His Birth. 

Notice if you have any of the following negative thoughts about yourself or others. Then identify when these negative thoughts come up most often; particular places, people, or events may be associated with them.

Do you…

1. Reject yourself or others’ ideas or experiences? Say “no” more than “yes”?
2. Criticize yourself or others about thoughts and choices made?
3. Blame yourself or others for your current situation? Do you take responsibility for your current mindset and where you are in your life?
4. Cling to your point of view? Find it hard to see the other side of the story?
5. Cause Conflicts and find that in a disagreement you continue to raise the conflict or bring up more issues that leave things messier than when you started? Are you unable to “let it go”?
6. Resent by being unwilling to forgive yourself or another; get stuck in how it “should be” rather than what it is?
7. Jump the gun and future trip about what negative events will occur or predict that you or someone else will fail?
8. Judge by casting judgement or blame on others, discounting your role in things and/or making unrealistic expectations for yourself or another?

Five Steps

In the advent of multiple bereavements we all have difficulties of looking towards the “Light in the Tunnel.” Therefore, I have come up a few sources, which we all can work on with help from our Loved Ones, Bereavement Therapists and from contacting Dr. Nicholas at 877 867 8556.

Step One – Recognize your negative moments.  Admit to yourself you have negatively that can be curbed. How do you do that?
Step Two – When a negative thought crosses your mind, accept it, acknowledge it, and find a way to use the power of positive thinking to adjust your feelings.  Think of something positive about your life. Think of something you are thankful for and let that replace your bad thoughts.
Step Three – It is easy to let negative thinking result in complaining.  Whether big or small, before you open your mouth to make a complaint, stop.  You have control over your mouth, so don’t let your bad thoughts spill out onto your environment.
Step Four – Be mindful of people around you.  No one wants a complainer on their hands, and it only feeds more negativity to your life, and your environment.  It can isolate you from your peers when really you want to lean on your support group.  Respect your peers, and catch yourself before you open your mouth and say something unnecessary.  Find a positive thought and verbalize it.  Compliment your friends. You’ll find others being positively affected by your affirmation and, as a result, more positive energy will come your way.
Step Five – Optimism is a choice.  Know you have the power to turn a frown upside down.  You are in control of what you say so know that you have the power to make that attitude adjustment a reality
