5 Methods to Cut Down Negative Thinking

Infusion

This method looks at introducing new, positive, thoughts at a conscious level.  This means that they are not naturally occurring thoughts, rather thoughts that you have pre planned and introduced to your conscience by way of thinking about them at planned times throughout the day.

\Diffusion

A lot of the times we act on our negative thoughts which leads to more negative thoughts which leads to more etc.  Diffusion is a process of acknowledging your negative thoughts. This is changing the relationship with the negative thoughts that arise during the day.

Bombarding

This is similar to the infusion method described above except that you are repeating phrases in your mind over and over again, much like Émile Coué’s autosuggestion techniques such as “Every day, In every way, I am getting better and better”. 

Acceptance

This is a method which lets you accept all your incoming thoughts.  Whilst you are accepting of the thoughts you do not necessarily react to them.

Reversal and association

This is a method used to reverse the incoming negative thought using recalled emotions and feelings.  It is particularly powerful as you are actively engaging more of your senses and feelings.
