Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hello, I read this exercise in a book and I thought I'd share it with the group…Enjoy! Positive Thoughts… Often we endure such runs of negative thoughts that we are unaware of the process until we have been " beating ourselves up " for 10-15 minutes. To become more aware of this habitual process, tap your left finger on a firm surface for every negative thought. When your finger becomes quite sore, you will have another level of awareness of your negativity. Negative thoughts can be countered with positive ones. When you catch yourself thinking and feeling a negative thought, such as how far your body is or how dumb you are, STOP! Now look for a substitute a positive thought or feeling in the place of the one you removed, such as how lovely your hair looks or how well you have succeeded at something. Now listen to yourself saying the positive phrase out loud. Continue in this way, adding other phrases and wishes for yourself.
