Summary
"Like most astronauts, I'm pretty sure that I can deal with what life throws at me because I've thought about what to do if things go wrong, as well as right. That's the power of negative thinking."― Chris Hadfield, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Episode 2321 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you back to day two of our series. |
| 0:15.0 | This week we are discovering how to release negative thoughts with meditation techniques. |
| 0:23.0 | The theme is all about beginning to recognize those thoughts that you might cycle through your mind day in and day out. |
| 0:36.0 | You may have been doing this for years. |
| 0:39.0 | You might have recently started cycling a certain thought through your mind because maybe something happened in your life |
| 0:49.0 | that had you pivot in a direction that really is bringing you downward. |
| 0:56.0 | So as you go through this week's series, you have a challenge. |
| 1:02.0 | Your challenge this week is to every day notice the thoughts that are bringing you down. |
| 1:11.0 | Notice your negative thoughts. You might keep a journal and then think about what may have triggered those thoughts. |
| 1:21.0 | Consider if the thought is even true or if it's something that you just are perceiving that may not actually be factual. |

| 2:19.0 | One of the best ways to break a cycle of negative thinking and even a great way to start your day and end your day especially is to repeat an affirmation. |
| 2:34.0 | An affirmation is a positive statement that uplifts your thoughts in a way that's focused on an intention. |
| 2:43.0 | So it's not just a random statement you might create or you might repeat that somebody else created. |
