Hi Robyn, 
 
Thanks for your post.  It is a good reminder to recognize that how we react to situations and our perspective or outlook has a profound influence on how we feel.  Keep practicing with challenging your thoughts.  It sounds like you are on the right track!

It is still difficult for me to always believe that things are only bad at this moment and that they will get better. But after reading the Negative Thoughts and Challenging Thoughts sessions, I know that I need to work on changing my negative thinking. It will take practice to make it happen but, practice makes perfect!

Hi ~m,
 
Censored? No posts have been edited or deleted recently so be rest assured we're not censoring you and we would let you know if we did. 
 
It is certainly important to express the negative too!
 
Robyn, great positive - how were you able to get to this realization and really believe it?

My most recent negative thought:
I'm never going to be happy again like before.
 
Looking at this positively what I can say instead is:
Things may be looking bad right now, but it won't stay this way forever, happiness is right around the corner if I keep working towards it!

oh joy... I've been censored... or maybe just "miss-posted"   Basic message:  Life sucks but we can, indeed, learn from it and begin to master our negativity.  Turn it into positive motivation.  It does work.  But, sometimes.... I think it is ok to express the negative... part of the process!

seriously... the negative, once challenged, can really bring great personal growth.  If you can learn from it.... it has value.  For reals!

Post a negative and then a positive!
 
Thinking positively can be an important factor in your progress.
 
Practice here!
