Negative thinking becomes a habit that over time destroys our joie de vivre. It’s like an entity that surreptitiously redirects our awareness through a highly critical filter. Once we’re in the mode of looking for what’s wrong, we naturally direct that same quality of attention toward other subjects until we find ourselves in a cycle of negativity that feeds on itself and lowers our quality of life. When we realize we’re engaging in this critical loop, we can consciously choose to back off the judgment, remind ourselves of the destructive nature of the habit and focus on something…
That’s working.
