Identifying Your Negative Thinking Patterns...A First Step.
Whether you realize it or not, your thoughts have energy. So if you are only having negative thoughts, chances are everything in your life is going to seem...well...negative.
And ladies, that’s no way to live! You want you to be happy, healthy, less afraid and confident.
Before you are able to change those negative thoughts, you first have to be able to recognize them.
How do you do that you ask??! Listen up….that’s what I am sharing today.
When you are going about you day and something happens, you most likely almost always have the same response.
You might say things like…
…..“Why does this always happen?”
…..”I am always making mistakes”
…..”I won’t be successful, I never have been”
…..”I can’t possibly go to that event my anxiety would kill me”
Eliminating negative thinking patterns is a huge part of developing emotional sobriety and confidence beyond recovery. It is so important it is the entire first section of the Sober Freedom Inner Circle membership program.
