Giving Space to Negative Thoughts:

How to Focus on Positivity and Overcome Challenges

Negative thoughts can be powerful and become overwhelming for many.

Particularly here as you are starting your online business.

Know that it is important to acknowledge and give space to such thoughts but don't hold on to them.

Holding on to past memories that are negative and not beneficial to you can lead you into a downward spiral.

Here are some tips to help you focus on positivity and overcome challenges.

Letting Go of Negative Thoughts

Specific events that may upset us, it is common to remember everything that's wrong in our lives.

As a result, the initial thought or memories can bring all the other negative memories to the surface.

Often we begin to feel that our life is terrible.

It's important to give ourselves a break and let those thoughts go.

We can't solve all our problems at once.

Instead, focus on feeling better at this moment and trust that things will fall into place at the right time.

Acknowledging Our Emotions

It's important to acknowledge and confirm our emotions, even the negative ones.

Ignoring or suppressing them can lead to more problems down the line.

Try to understand why you're feeling the way you are and what triggered those emotions.

Write them down and give them some thought into why it made you feel then and now.

This can help you gain insight and work through those emotions in a healthy way.

Remember past is past do not let the past take control of your present moment in life acknowledge it and let it go.

Being Mindful of Our Thoughts

When we continue to think about things we don't want in our lives, our perspective becomes clouded.

Often we get confused and feel like we are nowhere near any kind of solution to break out of it.

We end up making decisions that aren't right for us.

It's important to release old stories of how life should be and focus on creating new, helpful beliefs.

This way, we can influence the outcome of our situation in a positive manner.
One way to do this is through positive affirmations.

These are statements that reflect what we want to believe or achieve.

For example:

"I am capable of overcoming any challenge that comes my way."

Repeating affirmations on a daily basis helps to rewire our thinking patterns.

When done on a daily basis you are able to shift your mindset and beliefs to a more positive direction.

Embracing Positivity

By embracing positivity in our lives we end up letting go of negative thought patterns.

We start to create a better reality for ourselves.

It's important to look forward with hope and nurture the seeds of positivity.

We're making great strides in our healing journey and getting better at facing our fears.

As our thought patterns become clearer so does the pathway to where we are heading.

We allow ourselves to embrace all the positive feelings we are experiencing in life.
Look at what you have achieved already here.

Know that you have come far already with what you are learning and applying what you have learned.

You deserve happiness and acknowledging how far you have already traveled.

This will give you the incentive to continue to move forward in all you do.

Believe in yourself and in all you do. Trust that we will find the best course of action in any situation and keep moving forward.

Taking Action

Now it is great to focus and have a positive mind frame but also important to take action toward the goals you set.

Visit the goals you set when you first came here.

Read it out aloud to yourself, is that what you want, or was that the old mind telling you something else?

If need be think outside the box and where needed re-write your goals and make them real and achievable.

Start by setting small, achievable goals that align with your values and beliefs.

As you reach or get closer to your goals, re-set them to help you push further and achieve more for the right reasons.

This can help us feel more empowered and be in control of our lives and not let life be in control of us.

Enjoy and give thanks for each accomplishment made along the way regardless of how large or small it is.

Use your achievements to take you further forward and keep moving forward.

Seeking Support

It's okay to ask for help when we need it.

Final Thoughts

Negative thoughts can be powerful and damaging if allowed.

So acknowledge them, and give thanks to those thoughts as it is trying to give you a message.

The message is telling you it is time to fix the internal issues you are still holding onto so you can move forward.

Changing your mindset to a positive one will bring on more confidence in yourself.

This will help you to achieve greater results along the way as your confidence grows.

Let go of what is not needed and move forward for you.

Create new goals as you reach or pass the current ones set.

This is help to keep it real and achievable while holding on to your positive thinking pattern.

Always take action rather than saying what you want.

Remember to be kind to yourself and trust in your ability to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
