Your thoughts have a powerful effect on you. They affect
your attitude, your physiology, and your motivation to act.
Your negative thoughts actually control your behavior. They
can make you stutter, spill things, forget your lines or
breathe shallowly.

Research indicates that the average person talks to himself
or herself about 50,000 times a day. According to
psychological researchers, it is 80% negative; things such
as I shouldn’t have said that …. They don’t like me… I
don’t like the way my hair looks today. I can’t dance. I’ll
never be a good skater., I’m not a speaker. I’ll never lose
this weight. I can’t ever seem to get organized. I’m always
late.

We also know from lie-detector tests that your body reacts
to your thoughts. These physiological changes, such as
heart rate and breathing rate, occur when you’re lying but
also in reaction to every thought you think. Every cell in
your body is affected by every thought you have.

Negative thoughts affects your body negatively, weakening
you. Positive thoughts affect your body in a positive way,
making you more relaxed, centered and alert. It is your job
to control and master your thoughts. You are 100%
responsible.

But there is a core principle you need to understand about
self- criticism and self-judgment: It is always motivated
by love and has always some positive intention or positive
goal attached to it. Now, this positive intention doesn’t
show immediately. It needs some reflection at first. But
with some practice, like everything else, it comes within
seconds and here comes the change.

Here are four steps you will need to take to master your
thoughts and to transform your inner critic into an inner
coach.

1. It’s Time to Step Back The first step of any strategy to
change your emotions or personal history is to step back
and reflect on what is going on inside of you. It is as if
you were stepping back from your thinking and were looking
at it. By doing this you go to a higher psychological level
where change can take place. As Albert Einstein said,”The
significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same
level of thinking that created them.”

2. Look for the positive intention. One of the most
magnificent beauties of the human mind is self-
reflexivity. This means that you not only think about an
event, but you think about what you just thought about that
specific event. It’s like layers of thoughts that are
formed at the back of your mind in a fraction of a second.
Now, you can peel away the layers and discover the positive
intention of that negative thought by asking yourself the
following question: “What is the good or the positive
intention of that part of me that just thought .” or “What
does that part of me that just thought. wants that is good
for me”. Were you able to find it?

3. Feel how your emotions are changing. When you find that
positive intention, you discover a whole new part of you.
The part that wants you to be better, to feel better and to
be everything you’re capable of. That way, your self-esteem
increases, you have more confidence in yourself, you trust
yourself more and you achieve more.

4. Thank yourself for caring about you. Now, you’re going
to play the appreciation game and that is to thank yourself
for the beautiful human being you are. Because you
understand your unique value, your importance in the world,
you can more quickly and more easily go for your dreams and
live a more prosperous life.

Negative thoughts happen to everybody. The difference
between a successful person and another is just that he or
she has learned how to master his thoughts and emotions.
With these four little but powerful steps, you can beat
your negative thoughts and therefore your negative
emotions. You will radiate more energy to accomplish your
goals and you will function more efficiently.
