Some of the best ways to deal with negative thoughts is to motivate, energize, or cheer yourself up. Be your own cheerleader. Psych yourself up and get moving.
My best method to overcome or to deal with negative thoughts is to take a walk. It doesn’t matter if it is just a 10-minute walk, it gets my blood pumping and those negative thoughts fly out the same way they came in!
Engage in positive self-talk. Not the ones that we do to put ourselves down so that we go further down the rabbit hole but the kind that boosts your self-esteem. How about, “All those workout sessions are really showing. You’re looking good!” Or, “You handled that problem well, like a pro I must say!” Pep yourself up because you are worth it.
I love listening to my favorite songs. Nothing loud or crazy, just soft and easy on the mind. It usually helps. Meditation is actually my go to method for dealing with negative thoughts. I shut everything down, clear my mind, and go to this place where everything is perfect and no negative thoughts are to be seen. I spend about 15 minutes there and come out feeling like a winner!
If all else fails, grab a slice of cheesecake, a cup of coffee, sit outside, take a deep breath and dive in! It works every time. The problem, I can’t stop at one slice! The nice part, those negative thoughts are nowhere to be seen!
