Summary
Does trying to think more positively not work for you sometimes? Once we realize how our negative thoughts make us feel and act, the usual reaction is to try and be more positive. But if you don't believe those positive thoughts, then you're going to end up right back where you started in the negative.
In this episode, I'm talking about the idea of useful thoughts. They may not be super positive, but they still have a purpose and might be more beneficial to your progress. Listen to to find out what useful thoughts are and how you can use them in your life to start seeing better results.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy, episode number 71. |
| 0:05.5 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.0 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:16.6 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and insights |
| 0:21.3 | that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:28.9 | Hey, what's up? How's it going over there? Things are great here. And I'm super pumped to talk with |
| 0:37.2 | you today about useful thinking. |
| 0:40.3 | By now, if you've listened to several or all of the podcast episodes, I hope you know how important |
| 0:46.1 | your thoughts are when it comes to your eating as well as anything else you do. |
| 0:51.2 | Everything you do, everything you create begins with a thought whether you realize it or not. |
| 0:56.7 | You think about doing it, and this causes you to feel a feeling that then drives you to do it and |
| 1:02.5 | you create what you create. What you also may know is that negative thoughts create negative |

| 1:19.5 | We don't think positively and then do things that sabotage us. Our thoughts are always aligned |
| 1:25.5 | with what we're doing. So if you notice yourself doing things you don't want to be doing or things that aren't serving you, then you can be sure that the thoughts you're thinking are negative. Most people, when they realize this, make it their goal to start thinking more positively. They want to switch all their negativity |
| 1:46.0 | to positivity in the hopes that they will start feeling the way they want to feel and living |
| 1:50.1 | the way they want to live. But unfortunately, this isn't always an easy switch to make and |
| 1:56.1 | sometimes it's not even necessary, appropriate, or ideal. I see people fail at making this change in their |
| 2:03.1 | thinking all the time. They find a positive mantra on Instagram or Pinterest that they like, |
| 2:09.2 | that they want to be a part of their life. So they write it on a post-it and make it the wallpaper |
| 2:13.1 | on their phone and repeat it day after day. It could be something like, I can eat like a normal person. |
