Courageous ANT defeating stories

[ntl]

On the drive home from work I started having negative thoughts but caught them, stopped them and forced them out of my mind. To help keep them out I started to think about some work stuff to distract myself and keep my mind on something positive and constructive. In the process I came up with a good idea. Congratulated myself for deflecting the negative thoughts and carried on.

But the negative thoughts were not quite dead and only a few minutes later they stormed back. They took me by surprise and almost got through my defenses... almost. I caught them and dragged them kicking and screaming out of my head. Once again I replaced them with constructive thoughts of work and this time improved the original good idea I had.

The negative thoughts were defeated. So far the negative thoughts have not returned. But I know there slimy kind to well to believe they’re gone for good. I know they're out there waiting, bidding their time and preparing the next attack.

and I will be ready.

... Any way that’s my courageous story of defeating the negative thoughts. Perhaps slightly over dramatized but hopefully entertaining.

Does anyone else have their own courageous ANT defeating story? If so please share
