Friend,
I've a very contrarian opinion here...
We need to bring back negative thinking.
People have taken positive thinking way too far.
You see, all those tiny negative thoughts that pop-up like:
"I don't look very presentable today"
"I'm ashamed of my own resume"
"I'm afraid if I should go ask for a hike"
Are all normal. In fact - healthy.
Not all negative thoughts are self-sabotaging.
Most are a strong unpleasant shot of self-awareness on what exactly our weak points are.
Don't try to let it freeze you.
At the same time don't try to delusionally avoid it.
Instead - use your negative thoughts.
Here's the thing:
If you're self-conscious about how you're dressed - then you're probably not well dressed. Get an image consultant or read a few blogs and fix your presentability. (instead of delusionally affirming "I look stunning today")
If you're doubtful about sending your resume to employers then don't. Spend some time learning what makes a resume stand out. Implement it and then send it. (no need to visualize the recruiter getting impressed by your resume)
If you're doubtful to go ask your boss a hike, then look for ways to add more value to organization. Do your research. Ask for more responsibilities and a hike. (instead of trying to be more positive about your work performance)
Now I'll make 1 thing clear.
I'm not against positive thinking or the law of attraction.
I'm a very devoted student of the law of attraction. And it has contributed a LOT to my success.
I teach it to all my students.
But...
That doesn't mean we need to start villainizing negative thinking.
Instead make use of it.
(It's a feature not a fault)
