6 Effects Of Negative Thinking

Negative Thinking Creates Negative Lives

Life isn’t always easy. Yet, we make life more challenging with negative thinking. The influence of negative thoughts is far-reaching.

There’s no part of your life that escapes. It affects you mentally, emotionally, and physically. It limits your ability to achieve and to enjoy life.

There are reasons why pessimists are so miserable.

There Are 2 Primary Effects That Negative Thinking Has On Your Life

1. It has a negative impact on your mood and outlook on life. Negative thinking feels bad. Thinking negative thoughts can make you feel sad, afraid, angry, hopeless, and negative in general. These emotions taint the way you view the world and have a deleterious effect on your ability to make wise decisions.

2. Negative thinking inhibits your ability to achieve goals. For any objective, you have things pulling you toward your goal and other things pushing you away. When you think negative thoughts about achieving a goal, you’re much less able to accomplish it.

• Imagine you’d like to take a trip to Hong Kong. This has always been a goal of yours. But then you start thinking about it:

• “It’s so far away, the jetlag will be awful. I’ll probably spend half of the trip just recovering.”

• “The language is so different from English. How will I manage?”

• “I should spend the money on something else.”

• “I’ll lose a lot of money exchanging currency.”

• “I’ve heard Chinese prisons are the worst in the world. What if I break some weird law I don’t even know about?”

• All of a sudden, that dream trip to Hong Kong doesn’t sound so dreamy anymore. Negative thinking makes goals seem harder than they are in reality.

These two negative effects are pervasive. They influence your entire life. But, there are additional consequences as well.

These consequences are much easier to avoid when you are able to let go of negative thinking. The trick to overcoming negative thinking is creating a positive inner-self. Click below to get a great meditation as a free gift that can help you create a positive inner-self.
