Flip the Script on Your Mental Narrative

Your thoughts interpret your reality, so make sure they’re positive.

If you’d like to shift to a more positive mindset, begin with that aim. Notice the negative thoughts that go through your mind—especially those that you tend to incessantly repeat. Ground Picture/Shutterstock

All day, every day, you are engaged in a constant conversation. It takes place in your mind and it’s between you and you. The nature of this chatter has a significant impact on your experience of life. The question is—what are you telling yourself?

For many people, the voice in their head is harsh and focused on the negative. Naturally, their experience of life reflects that. The thoughts we tell ourselves often run on repeat, habitually programming us to focus on certain things and see the world in a certain way.
