Hello all,

I found I am trying hard to *not* have any negative feelings or thoughts. But really it's not as realistic.

So I came up with something.

For every negative comment/thought/statement, come up with 3 positive ones.

So...it's 1 to 3 ratio (negative to positive)

try it!

I do this myself but always on a 1 to 1 ratio. I never thought of out numbering the negative thoughts. Makes sense tho. I will try it.

Sounds like a fun idea

I figured some of us were pessimistic by nature so to help erase bad feelings and thoughts we have to drown out or outnumber them!
