The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 20: Q & A - Can I Ever Fully Overcome My Negative Thoughts, Even If I’ve Been Believing Them For 40 Years?
“Can I fully overcome my negative thoughts even if I've been believing them for 40 years?” This is Jennifer’s question on this week’s Q&A episode. If you’re like Jennifer who has been battling over negative thoughts, then you’re going to love this episode.
Negative thoughts are simply thinking. And a large portion of your thinking comes from your past experiences, which makes beliefs subjective interpretations.
But how exactly do you define negative thinking? And to what degree are you negative? How will you know if you have overcome your negative thoughts? And what’s in it for you if you have overcome them?
In this episode I discuss:
- [5:52] How beliefs could be subjective
- [7:24] How beliefs could be “archaic”
- [9:28] The 3 types of beliefs and how it creates a ripple effect in your life
- [15:05] How looking for contrary evidence of your negative beliefs could help you overcome it
- [22:56] How you move your attention from negative thoughts by using sub-modalities
I expound on moving the attention to positive thoughts in the most simple and understandable manner through a brain-based dialogue.
And a lot more…
Transformational Takeaway: Your negative thinking was learned through events that happened many years ago. You made interpretations, created stories, then you created the belief. Then the belief is completely unconscious.
Your negative thinking is nothing more than habitual.
