Why Stop Negative Thinking?
Your mind has a tendency to think of the negative due a variety of reasons, one being the negativity bias. This is where the negative things in life, have a greater effect on us than positives things.
If left unchecked, negativity can cause a whole host of problems such as anxiety depression and shorter life expectancy to name a few.
Depsite those problems, we have around 12,000 - 50,000 thoughts a day and 80% of them are negative.
This begs the question, how can we stop thinking so negatively?

Challenge Your Thoughts
A study revealed that dwelling on negative life events can result in mental health problems. However, the study indicated that rather than the events itself, its how we think about those events, that shapes our psychologyical well-being.
First, understand what negative thoughts you engage in, this will allow you to have a better understanding of what triggers your negative thoughts.
Everytime you have a negative thought, write it down. Do this over a week and you may be shocked at the result.

Reframe Your Thoughts
If the thought of 'not being good enough' pops into your head you may be thinking how bad you are. However, if the same thought occurs, you can reframe the statement to change your perspective on it.
For example: - 'I am not good enough'
- Typical Negative thought - 'I will never be good at this!'
- Reframing the thought - 'Hmm, it seems I am not good at my work, what can I do to change this?'
Reframing changes the way you see a problem, which allows a better chance in finding a resolution.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
