Hi guys,

Is "I am free of negative thoughts" still focusing on the negative thoughts? I've been having the most trouble freeing myself from these negative thoughts popping into my head daily. It's driving me up the wall, and I think that knowing that I shouldn't have these negative thoughts adds another layer of anger to it - I'm beating myself up for feeling bad.

Anyway, as a book suggested, each time I catch myself with a negative thought, I should replace it with a positive affirmation. I've been toying with "I'm a master of my thoughts", but I don't know if its specific enough. Is "I am free of negative thoughts" ok? Or is it still focusing on what i dont' want?
