The Most Common Negative Thoughts (and What to Do About Them)
Hey, I want to share something that might help if youâve been stuck in your own head lately. You know those thoughts that just seem to weigh you down? Yeah, we all have them. Here are a few of the most common ones Iâve come across and how you can flip the script.
1ď¸âŁ âIâm not good enough.â
Hereâs the truth: Nobody starts out perfect. The people you admire? Theyâve failed more times than youâve tried. Instead of tearing yourself down, ask, âWhatâs one small step I can take to improve today?â Progress beats perfection every time.
2ď¸âŁ âWhat if I fail?â
Hereâs a reframe: What if you succeed? Fear of failure keeps us in our comfort zones, but growth happens when youâre willing to take risks. Even if you stumble, youâll learn, and thatâs a win too.
3ď¸âŁ âPeople donât like me.â
Sometimes this thought sneaks in, but itâs usually just our own insecurities talking. Focus on being kind, being you, and the right people will naturally gravitate toward you.
4ď¸âŁ âI canât do it.â
Pause. Take a breath. Is it that you canât or that it feels overwhelming right now? Break it down into tiny, manageable steps. One at a time, youâll get there.
Remember, thoughts are just thoughts theyâre not facts. Youâre allowed to challenge them. Youâre allowed to rewrite the narrative.
If youâre reading this and it hit home, just know youâre not alone. Youâve got this, and I believe in you.
