How To Stop Being So Negative

Nobody likes being around that negative person (extended family member, co-work in the next office over, or maybe the neighbor down the street.  But what happens when you discover you are a negative person?

What do you do when you realize you have a negative attitude problem?

You implement this simple, daily practice.

I call it DAILY DECLARATIONS.

YES, SNL did a skit on this years ago – click the link (below) to see their take on daily declarations.

Your declarations are a list of truthful, positive, declarative statements you repeat every morning.

I have a list of 19 statements I say out loud to myself daily.  I have been doing this for years, pushing me to a new mental/positive place.

Here are a few of my statements:

1. I am a child of God, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ; therefore, Jesus will be first in my life.  I exist to serve and glorify Him.
2. I love my wife and will serve her unselfishly.
3. I am disciplined
4. I am faithful
5. I will be faithful with finances today
6. Christ in me is stronger than the wrong desires in me.

You can do this!

Come up with a list of statements you say to yourself to help recalibrate your brain.

As you repeat the truthful statements over and over, you will begin to see your attitude improving; they become mental vitamins you take daily!

What five declarations will you create to start changing the way you think?
