How on Earth do you think positively when your brain is wired for negativity?
I really, really struggle with this.
I don't know how many times in my life I've tried to reframe my thinking to a more positive mindset, only to eventually slip right back to negativity, often without even realizing it until it's too late and what little progress I made is gone.
I'm so tired of trying over and over again, only for it to never work out. I'm pretty convinced at this point that positive thinking is impossible for me (I know, that's a negative thought, but very much backed by my own experiences).
What on Earth do you do? Can it even be done?
I've been challenged to a week of positive thinking by a family member and have been failing miserably since day one (now on day three with zero progress whatsoever). I genuinely believe the negative thoughts and cannot for the life of me take the positive ones seriously, as I feel they are false hope and unrealistic.
