Hi Lifereallysucks,
Yes indeed!!
Happy thoughts.
Thanks for the comment.

So far having a good day. Enjoying the sun. Thanks for the encouraging words.
Enjoy the day!!!

Mine are very negative but I’m really trying to work on positive thinking as well as trying to speak with positivity. It is really difficult though!

Hi Louie5,
Me too. I think if we think positive and speak positive we would be alot more happy and the anxiety might subside alittle. I speak positive it's just my thinking that gets me in a tizzy. I'm gonna try to replace my negative thoughts with positive ones. Everytime I think something negative I'm gonna replace it with something positive. Reverse psychology.lol. Good luck and thanks for your comment. Happy thinking and speaking to you. Take good care.

Sounds good! It really is challenging to think and speak with positivity with anxiety. I’ve got a long way to go but notice that the deeper my anxiety, the more everything seems bleak. Thanks for your comments!

It is a challenge. We just have to work on it. Its mind over matter. Keep thinking positive thoughts and be kind with your words and you will be just fine. Your very welcome. Good luck you can do this.

Hi, when my thoughts are negative, it's usually because I'm getting ahead of myself. It's not always easy, but I force myself to be grounded by selftalk. I tell myself to stop and practice deep breathing, and focus on now and try not to get ahead of myself. If it's a positive thot, I'll try to write it down so I won't forget.

Hi HPW,
I do the same. I stop, pause and take a deep breath and gather my thoughts. It seems too work. I feel like I'm more focused. Lately when I have a negative thought I try to replace it with a positive one. That seems too help too. It's mind over matter.
Anxiety though sometimes can get the best of your thoughts. It ain't easy. But I'm working on it. Thank you for your comment. Writing down positive thoughts is a great idea. I do alot of Journaling. I think it helps to write it out.
Thanks again.

Welcome to the DS.

Anxiety is caused by the negative thinking. Which came first? The negative thinking, the failure to believe in one’s self, whatever the reason doesn’t matter., anxiety is a direct result.

Hi mtd,.
Your absolutely right. When you think negative thoughts boom here comes the anxiety right along with it. Good point. And when you have negative thoughts my anxiety goes crazy. I have to work on thinking more positive. Sometimes my thoughts are so crazy and they never happen. I guess when you have a bad experience you think it's gonna happen again. That's kinda of what I think. Thanks for your comment. Here's to happy thoughts and positive ones too!!!

Hi, when thots are racing, it's positive when I'm thinking ahead of what needs to get done; when it's negative, I'm anxious or worried about something. The common denominator is I'm thinking ahead. I tell myself to focus on now and stay grounded. When I'm around people, I tell myself to love God, love myself, love others. Hope all is well. :)

Hi HPW,
I love your theory. I will remember to stay in the present and not to let the past interfere in my thoughts. The past is the past and we can't change it. Living in the present is the best advice. God is good. And I feel very blessed to have good positive people in my life that are there for me. It makes all the difference in the world to have them there for me. God bless and be kind to others. All is well. Thanks for your comment.
