Summary

Your inner thoughts can have a serious impact on your state of mind. If you see the world through a darkened lens, that negative way of thinking can quickly become a way of life.

When I tell people that I used to be the queen of negativity, they find it hard to believe. I’ve since adopted a more positive outlook on life which I talk about in episode 261 of the podcast, My Personal Seven-Year Transformation.

Nowadays, thinking positively comes easy to me. I like to think about negative thoughts as weeds in our mind. Weeds that need to be pulled out from the roots. If the garden of your mind has become overgrown with persistent weeds that you can’t clear, it’s time to tackle the root of the problem.

When I gave myself the quest to declutter my negative thoughts, I did three things. First, I realized how negative I was. Second, I replaced anything negative in my life with a positive difference. And finally, I eliminated all the ways that negativity was coming into my life.

In this episode, I reveal the steps you can take to overcome your negative mindset and start living a more positive and happy life.

Ready to say goodbye to negative thoughts?

In this week's podcast, I cover these 3 points:

1. Be honest with yourself

2. Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts

3. Eliminate the negativity

I hope that these tips help you to declutter your negative thoughts so that you can start living a happier life with a positive outlook.

The more I press into this, the more I truly believe that we are in control of our thoughts and feelings. You can literally design any future you can imagine.

Have you ever cut something negative out of your life and replaced it with something positive? Let me know over on Instagram or Facebook, I’d love to hear from you!

0:09.0	I put it together with my own stuff, and I just ordered the rail thing two days ago. I just had to tell you how
0:15.8	thrilled I am with the difference that this has made in my life in only three weeks.

0:38.6	My disappointment had been that I thought my motivation
0:42.4	and clarity of thought would improve as a result of the surgery.
0:47.0	To distract myself from feeling low, I had been watching a lot of TV or going on reading binges. Well with the Sunday basket I find
0:55.7	that I'm actually focusing on and completing tasks and arriving on time for things on
1:00.6	my schedule. Heck I actually have a schedule. None of this is perfect, but I keep
1:06.6	reminding myself that it takes time to organize, even a year or more. So I just had to share this with you because my self-confidence is so much better
1:16.8	that I just applied for a job change that I've been Hemmin and Harran about applying for for several years. Thank you so much for not keeping your
1:26.6	ideas a secret. I look forward to your emails every day. Love you girl. Thank you so much Terry. Do you have an
