How To STOP Negative Thinking Patterns Right Now 🙌

Negative thinking and negative thoughts affect us physiologically and mentally. Here are the 3 things you must master in relation to your negative thinking starting today:

1) Mastery over observing a negative thought. KEY: The less ‘SPIDERWEBBING’ you do the better you’ll get.

2) Mastery over replacing a negative thought. KEY: Catch the thought early (I recommend with an elastic band) and use the word ‘OR.’

3) Mastery over strengthening a negative thought. KEY: Power pose while repeating the thought out loud to bring emotion to it.

*Comment below on your greatest epiphany from this video on how to stope negative thinking, let's chat.

One piece of advice I heard is that when your anxiety is at its worst, it is the BEST time to get on with your day. Instead of hiding under the covers on the couch, get out and DO SOMETHING! You will not feel like it obviously. But it teaches the amygdala over time that there is no threat. You have to TRAIN your primitive brain that there is no real threat and you are actually safe. The other key part is 'acceptance'. At the same time you are having high anxiety instead of engaging with it and fighting it. You accept you are having high anxiety and let it burn itself out. What will be will be, why try to fight it since it's going to happen no matter what. So you may as well ride it out and not attempting to 'fight' it. All the while continuing to 'live your life'. The hardest part when having an anxiety attack is stopping yourself from giving in to the fight or flight mentality of hiding from whatever is making you fearful. I always feel better once I have confronted the thing making me fearful. Whether that be a health issue or other external event. Of course the main issue is when you have to wait quite a while to confront a thing. This is where the 'OR' thing comes into play.

Not every question demands an answer. I won't forget that

Dennis, I've been following you for about 2 years now. I've read your first 3 books and am waiting for #4 to come out on Audible. I didn't join any of your programs, but doing what I've done has gotten me to the point at which I feel like I'm coming out the other side, anxiety free.
This is all to say that if one can't afford it or like me, wanted to take a slower path, the end result is still possible.

EVERYONE with ANY type of Anxiety should follow Dennis. Read his books. Join his programs.
IT WORKS💪
Anyone can do this!!
Much love to all and Thank You Dennis!!! ❤❤❤

All 3 spoke to me. I’ve mastered negative thinking for years 🤦‍♀️. I’m going to watch this several times because my mindful thinking jumps ship during anxiety, symptoms or panic…..thank you Dennis for this. Bless you 🙏🏻❤️ for being there for us!

Number 2. OR. I have been spiralling recently and I feel that using OR would be beneficial and easy to remember 🤗

Strengthening my thoughts. I am totally able to stand there and remind myself that I am strong. I am more than my anxiety!

[lenadimichino]

I think the part about strengthening a thought really spoke to me personally, because I feel like I am at the point in my journey where I am able to tell myself that I am okay, and this will pass and that my thoughts are just getting the best of me. As well as implementing positive affirmations, but I find that they don’t “Stick”, it boosts my confidence temporarily, but i can’t get it to “lock in”. It makes complete sense to put some sort of emotion to it for it to stick with you. That is how anxiety stays with you, so the same must be true when you want to strengthen a positive thought. Thank you Dennis :)

Observe a thought is so important, it's a law of physics. Things change when we observe them. Even thoughts.

Needed this so badly today. Thank you, Dennis. You make a difference in life.

[melissacook]

I'm going to start applying observing thoughts! I feel I have a habit of needing to react to every one of them.

[Bella_bella]

I love the concept of observing a thought and allowing it to just pass by. This too shall pass- not every intrusive thought has to be a be reality
And I love the "or" concept. It kinda forces you to see the positive possibility

Thank you Dennis 💕

[the_full_time_coach]

Love this! anxiety definitely become physical. This is exactly how panic symptoms manifest!

I appreciate the reframes you share here! ✨🙏💙

[gregbradshaw]

Thanks, Dennis✌️
I’m going to say that observing is the step that I need the most as I have a tendency to run with most any thought that comes to mind.

[christianzerilli]

The thing that spoke to me more about this video is the OR mentality. If I feel a negative thought I will catch it and give my inner child which is “OR is could all be a positive learning experience” “OR it could be the greatest experience of my life”

This is what I will plan on doing thank you Dennis❤️❤️❤️

[faded]

I've been struggling sense kindergarten with anxiety but once I got to high-school my anxiety got so bad, I was always in hospitals. Not believing what ever the doctors would tell me because I made up in my mind that I was going to die or something. Present day I'm doing a lot better than I was & I'm more outgoing & talkative. I just still get stomach pain in the morning, I wake up & I can feel the anxiety reving up, it just feels like a train coming at me. I'm also very sensitized. Thank you for everything you've done to help me & many others. Your a blessing to us all Dennis! Much Love!

What spoke to me is the ability to observe a thought, easier said than done but it really hit me on how I can master this with the power poses before my day starts in the am.
As a health anxiety sufferer ever since a loved family member passed away I have been struggling but with little progresses and big gains I’m going to get a better life back.

Thank you Dennis

[shawntalaiyajackson]

I'm struggling with health anxiety so bad but listening to you everyday has really helped me I have a lot of weird things going on in my body when anxiety and panic starts and I do exactly what your talking about I let my thoughts spiral out of control

[valerie]

Excellent video Dennis. I really do need this this morning 🙏🏻. I’m really excited for continuing my healing with ORS! The part about adding the power of OR at the end of the thought is what I’m going to start applying today, and also, strengthening it. I started it while watching this and got an amazing joyful feeling. So excited for this!

[justusroloff]

The replacement resonated with me the most. My health anxiety has reared its ugly head lately but I am certain I will replace it with new and positive thoughts!

[naomipearce]

Hi Dennis number 2 replace for me stood out. Love the "or" will do this from NOW! Thank you for being there. I am feeling so much better. No more inner chat! A sense of peace I have never felt before!
