OH MAN – this is something I REALLY want to try!!! It will be interesting to see how I deal with negative comments in the moment, with this goal in mind! Typically I DO NOT let them get to me, but if a family member or my husband says something that I don’t like, I totally get affected.
I do try to do this…but now I will try harder! Thanks!
Well…I’m prepared to give it a go. Sometimes my head is bursting with negative thoughts…
This is something that I need to start doing. I need to let go of all the negativity and stay more positive.
A mental diet is something I think we can all use from time to time. We tend to cram so much useless stuff into our heads and hearts.
I LOVE this! Going to do it!
It makes sense to me. It sounds like if nothing else, you would have an awesome month 🙂
I love it! I’m in!!!!
I was at Zumba this morning thinking that I should have given up complaining for Lent. I suppose I could launch into this diet starting Labor Day or on the autumnal equinox. That would give me time to work up to this. Great challenge / invitation to happiness. Carry on!
This is such a cool concept! It might be a challenge but I think a mental exercise like this could help a lot.
Okay, Carole, here goes nothing…
That’s an amazing idea… but not always so easy
I try and am more or less successful. Nasty thoughts cross my mind, but I do not let them in take root, nest, or even catch a momentary perch. This, of course, does not mean that I shut my eyes to injustice. Staying positive but being rooted in reality is difficult, but possible.
This is such a good suggestion. We spend so much time in our own heads.
It’s so easy to let the negativity seep into our thoughts. I love the idea of just immediately pushing them right back out, even for just 30 days. That will be a great month of positivity!
I love this mental diet! I think it’s healthy and it’s going to promote positive thinking. It’s one of the best ways to teach yourself to get used to thinking more positive.
Firm believer in the power of positive thinking. Thanks for the reminder!
This is a great reminder! I would love to incorporate this in my life!
This is essential for a happy life and outlook. I have to remind myself to push out the ‘bad mood’ thoughts and be grateful. Some days it’s easy. Some days it’s a real challenge.
I have some friends who could really use this help. Negatively consumes them sometimes.
That can be super hard to do. However, you get yourself into a habit of it and it makes you feel better over all if you make it through.
I really like this idea! Once you think the same thought over and over again, it creates a pathway in your brain, and then your brain just naturally goes there. This kind of diet could do your brain an awful lot of good!
It is easier to avoid certain food than to avoid negative thoughts. However, with practice, patience and a whole lot of faith, this can be accomplished too. I have been a whole lot calmer since I left my stressful corporate job.
This would be a toughie. In this present time when there is nothing good to see on the news, it is difficult not to think negatively of others. I try my best to see the positive in it, no matter how minute it would be. Harboring negative thoughts and feeling can bring about physical illness. so just the same, as we avoid fat and excess salt, we should also avoid negative thoughts to keep our mind healthy too. Thank you for the reminder.
It would certainly do me good to eliminate all those toxic thoughts. I am sure they are weighing me down & causing unnecessary stress.
This is such a good mental exercise. I am so excited to see the results of this exercise to many. I think there will be positive changes.
This is such an awesome challenge. Many people will really benefit especially those who accept and do this challenge seriously. Many lives will change for the better.
This is very much in the vein of mindful meditation. The more we affirm the positive and push aside negative self talk, the easier it becomes to get back to that place… We just have to try. 🙂
It is crazy how much negativity is around us all the time. It’s so important to not let it get to you.
