There are a number of positive thinking exercises recommended to anyone who wants to improve the way they think. However, no matter how much you try to think positive, you’ll find it difficult to truly make a change unless you learn to spot those negative thoughts running through your mind.

In response to maryre’s post:
How true! I find when I start to think negatively I stop it right away by telling myself. You are already starting a new day with bad thoughts lets change this right now. I think about funny or fun things I did as a child or remember funny things that happened in my life then I start to laugh I feel good and realize that is the key to having a good day.

One idea for stopping negative self talk, a sort of catch all, like maryre said, identify it while it’s happening. Then “break the pattern”, as Tony Robbins puts it, by thinking something else. Then replace that thought. Then test it. Kind of long winded you might think. Me too:P You can reduce it all to one step by thinking “oh! a thought designed to keep me trapped in a way of life I don’t want! A clever trick, but I’m more clever!”, or something along those lines lol
