We all struggle with negative thoughts from time to time or even perhaps all the time. This causes us to lose confidence and belief in ourselves. We wonder where these thoughts come from and how we can rid ourselves of them. The first thing to know is that they are a part of trying anything new. You will at some point lose confidence in your ability to take on that new things. It is just a part of being human. The key is to be able to push through these thoughts so you can get yourself to the goal you have set.

Develop a Strong Positive Self-Talk
Self-talk is a tool that can be used to counter any negative thoughts. The idea is to develop a dialogue inside of your head that combats your negative internal voice. Self-talk is simple. It focuses on creating a positive dialogue that becomes a mantra when negative thoughts arrive.
You can develop a few positive sentences that you call upon whenever you feel negativity Building inside of you. Reminding yourself to save things like, “This may be bad now, but it's only temporary.” Or “What is happening today has no bearing on what might happen tomorrow.” or “I am worthy and I deserve good things and to be around good people.” is a way the help you get through the times of negative feelings.
You can use self-talk as often as you like and whenever you like, the best part is the more you use it, the more you will believe what you say to yourself. Soon it will be so automatic that the negative thoughts will not have a chance to form.
As an added step, you should avoid toxic, negative and phony people who never have good intentions or kind words to say. These type of people are energy vampires and cause the people they are around to being a negative state of mind. Do yourself a favor and spend your time around positive people who support and love you.
