Negative thoughts can lead to issues like social anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. To change your negative thoughts, understand your current thinking, use strategies to change these thoughts, or reduce their impact.
You can try to eliminate negative thoughts:
- Use mindfulness to develop self-awareness.
- Recognize negative thoughts.
- Substitute negative thoughts with more realistic and positive ones.
- Practice acceptance rather than trying to avoid or deny negative thoughts.
- Learn to deal with feedback and criticism.
- Maintain a diary to monitor your thoughts.
