Why You Should Reframe Your Negative Thoughts

The damage may be done. A negative family environment or significant relationship has left you with poor self-esteem or poor processing habits. Or perhaps it was that toxic company you worked at for twelve years.

However, no matter what caused you to adopt an “I’m doomed, I may as well give up: Happiness/success is not for me” mindset, you can make the decision to change that—starting today.

One successful technique that psychologists use is called “re-framing”.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Take a negative, habitual thought
  2. Filter it in an objective manner through the light of reality
  3. Replace your negative thought with a positive but realistic, corrected version

You can do this with any type of thought—business or personal. (For example, change “I always screw up” with: “I don’t always screw up. Sometimes I make mistakes, like everybody else—but I learn from them.”)
