Choose the Happier Thought<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The next time you’re faced with a challenging situation that gives rise to negative thoughts and bad feelings, find an equally true<\/em><\/span> thought about the situation that makes you feel better and lean into it.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t mean that you deny the negative it just says that you pay more attention to the positive part of the truth.<\/p>\n

The classic measure of optimism, seeing the glass half full rather than half empty, is the perfect example of leaning into the equally true<\/em> <\/em>but happier thought.<\/p>\n

Here is a real life example:\u00a0 Have you ever been on a deadline and thought, “I can’t get this done on<\/em>time”?<\/em><\/span> The next time you are having this type of negative, self defeating thought, search your mind for positive thoughts that are equally true.<\/p>\n

Such as “I always manage to get things done” “I can always seek help with this” The more I relax the more the ideas flow through me”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Lean into these Positive Thoughts and you will find yourself feeling better.<\/p>\n
