There’s going to be stress in life, but it’s your choice whether you let it affect you or not. –Valerie Bertinelli Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Positivity 2:58 The Power of Choice 6:38 Five Tips for a Positive Attitude 12:07 Affirmations for Well-Being 15:04 Living in the Present Moment 17:02 Conclusion and Reflection Summary In this episode, I delve into the pressing issue of negativity and its pervasive impact on our mental well-being. I share five effective strategies to help you keep negativity at bay, empowering you to reclaim your sense of peace and calm. Negativity sneaks into our lives, often exacerbated by common stressors such as hunger, fatigue, and loneliness, leading to a skewed perception where we view the glass as half empty. This mindset not only heightens anxiety but can create obstacles that hinder our ability to embrace life fully. I explore how negativity can sabotage our efforts and how it can create unnecessary struggles in our lives. Acknowledging our inherent negative bias, a survival mechanism inherited from our ancestors, I emphasize the importance of transitioning from this instinctual reaction to a more thoughtful and rational approach. By cultivating awareness and choosing positivity, we can break this cycle and start manifesting a brighter outlook. The episode outlines five practical tips to foster a positive attitude. The first tip encourages visualization; when negative thoughts emerge, I advise transforming them by conjuring up positive imagery — something that embodies peace or happiness. Next, we delve into the benefits of journaling, where I emphasize the significance of documenting not just grievances but also everyday gratitudes, pushing aside negativity by celebrating the positive aspects of our lives. #AnxietyRelief #PositiveMindset #MentalWellness #StressManagement #SelfCareJourney #MindfulnessPractice #AffirmationsDaily #JournalingPrompts #VisualizationTechniques #EmotionalHealth #PersonalDevelopment #GratitudeAttitude #CopingStrategies #LiveInTheMoment #WellbeingWednesday #ThoughtPatterns #CognitiveWellness #ReframingThoughts #PositiveVibesOnly #MentalClarity #InnerPeace #AnxietySupport #StressReliefTips #OvercomingAnxiety #AnxietyAwareness #Calmness #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowthJourney #LifeSkills #Resilience #WellnessJourney #HealthyHabits #MindBodyConnection #WellbeingTips #Meditation #DeepBreathing #SelfReflection #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoahesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

0:23.2	Aloha.
0:24.3	Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches podcast.
0:27.7	I'm your host and coach, Gina Ryan,
0:30.4	and I am so happy to be with you again today
0:34.2	as together we can consider the many ways to bring your mind and body back to its
0:40.6	natural peace and calm. In today's episode, I want to talk about five ways to keep negativity
0:49.0	at bay. Negativity, it seems, is, oh, it's like our kryptonite, right? It can really take us down. So it can
0:58.3	really keep us anxious. So let's look at some ways that, and I think I jot it down five of them here,
1:05.1	that we can work on, that we can keep in our little toolkit to take good care of ourselves. Negativity always finds a way
1:15.1	to creep up in our lives and sometimes more than others, right? And it's completely normal because life
1:22.5	is challenging. And we maybe can find ourselves hungry, tired, angry, lonely, just off.
1:33.0	And we can let the negativity really get to us.
1:38.1	We can actually see the world more negatively.
1:41.7	Like the glass, it's half full and it's half empty, but some days we can't
1:46.5	see that it's half full. I totally get it. This is completely normal. When negativity builds up
1:55.1	too much or shows up too often, you know, then we seem to have an obstacle. We have something, now we have a new
2:02.7	challenge to overcome. And when we have that, when we have built ourselves into so much negativity,
2:10.3	we're actually putting challenges in front of ourselves more than what's there. We're adding to it.
2:16.7	And then when something comes along that needs to be taken
2:20.6	care of and we're in a negative way, we're really seeing the glass half empty, we can really set the
2:28.8	anxiety off. It can flare up. A negative attitude can hold you back from truly living your life. And it can flare up. A negative attitude can hold you back from truly living your life, and it can keep you
