Default need advice on negative thoughts

I have two good positive affirmations that I am doing at the moment, the only problem is I can get negative thoughts dominating my mind on certain days, particularly if I'm annoyed or upset by something. Last week I couldn't help but think about a person that I didn't like and don't get on with, I imagined going out like I do every week and him being there acting like a jerk. Amazingly I went out last week to a club and he was there, so I'm pretty sure I manifested it. Can anyone give advice on how to make my positive thoughts more dominant and stamp negative thoughts out?

Thanks Anyone

It's like the cello player who stops a cabbie on the streets of New York and asks "Hey - how do I get to Carnegie Hall?"

The cabbie replies, "Practice kid.. practice."

Think of how we're all immersed in negative thought patterns. Those wave are everywhere - simply tune into CNN for 10 minutes. Gah!

One way to negate negativity is by imaging gold light and warmth and allowing it to expand outward...

It always makes me lighter and happier...

Old Tex is right. It takes practice. Be proud that you at least notice when you are having negative thoughts. I am finally able to catch myself maybe about 50% of the time fairly quickly. Today I was in a particularly snarky mood and kept catching myself 'fighting' with various people in my head. I was really into it before I realized how crappy it felt. Right now I tend to run through some other negative feelings when I catch myself manifesting negatively. I feel guilty, then I worry that I am screwing something up. I am trying to whittle that process down. I take a deep breath and do some self talk. I tell myself that I am still human and everybody slips now and again. I praise myself for noticing the negative behavior. I talk to myself like I would talk to one of my kids, in a loving maternal way. It really does help.

Write it down! Take a notepad that you can carry in your back pocket and whip it out each time you are aware that you are having a negative or limiting thought. Do it for three days straight. We all process information differently but I will go out on a limb and say this will help you substantially.

Books that can help you with your negative thoughts can be found written by Guy Finley or Howard Vernon.

Yep - noticing the negative thoughts when they occur is BIG. It's the first step to consciously replacing the negative thought with a positive. And allow that replacement process to happen in baby steps if that's all you can do at the moment. Don't try for a complete 180 all at once.

When you speak, laugh, sing, your mind can't take you out. Speak your affirmation out loud. If you are angry, or frustrated yell it. If you can't do that, immediately tell yourself "I am joy,I am joyful, I am happy with my life!" Or use whatever affirmation you are working on. Another technique that works for me, is to tell my negative thinking to STOP! Then I use my new affirmation to create a new response to replace my old way of thinking.

If it is a person who is upsetting you, don't create that reality. Just say to yourself, __________ plays their part very well and let it go.

Sometimes when I am going about my day, I'll think negative thoughts about certain people, either at work or somewhere else, and I'll think to myself, "I can let this negative thought go and turn it into a positive thought or I can just let it stay in my head as a negative thought." It is fine to have these negative thoughts, it is reaffirming them as positive thoughts that is key. If you can turn a negative thought into a positive thought, you no longer have to worry about negative thoughts because you have a way of dealing with them.
