If it’s too hard to think positive, think neutral.

• I’m no better or worse than anyone else.
• I deserve the same things in life as anyone else.
• I’m a human being.
• Right now, I am feeling ________(fill in the blank).
• I don’t know how I’ll feel in 5 minutes, or tomorrow.
• I can’t predict the future.
• Life is full of painful, pleasurable, and boring moments.
• The world is full of good, evil, and gray areas.

i can’t stress enough how important this is. the strain of forcing positive thinking really never worked for me, sometimes making things worse…but being able to think neutrally like this has really put me in a better position mentally than i have been in years.
