Try this, 10 days free of negative thoughts.

Conciously try to not be negative for 10 days, if you find yourself fallign in negative thoughts you must restart your 10 days, its really good training on positive thinkign for your brain.

Sigh. Looks like I failed before I even finished the last sentence. This is going to be a long ten days.

I'm not sure if that's likely to be achieved, but nice idea. I wonder what could be done other than completely restarting. I'm sure there are plenty of other things. Maybe something like a swear jar. Each time you have a negative thought you put an amount of money in a jar. At the end you'd donate it to charity or something. Or maybe you could say an inspirational quote to yourself each time you have a negative thought. Just some ideas.

Good luck to the both of you

Your first sentence is negative. Start over.

I'm on day 3. It's possible.

You can have turn a negative thought around by being excited about it. Yay, I get to do something I am not excited to do because it'll be great practice to make me a stronger person.

If you'd like to start a thread about swear jars and charity, feel free to do so. It's a great idea!!!

Sounds like a good idea. It can't hurt to try. Starting now.

ntl · 08-11-2009, 02:27 AM

Didn't quite make it to a full day. Starting again see if I can beat my old record.

Gary · 08-11-2009, 08:46 AM

nice!

I like the attitudes shown in here

Draya · 08-12-2009, 02:49 AM

Just take it one day at a time...

ntl · 08-12-2009, 03:00 AM

Haven't had any for about 10 hours now. Thats a pb

kanarazu · 08-12-2009, 07:22 PM

I wanna do this, I've been way too obnoxiously positive lately. but I think it is hard to have no negative thoughts at all, sometimes they appear out of nowhere, but if you can make them positive then you can keep going onto the 10 days! good luck all!

N3XT2NON3 · 08-12-2009, 07:32 PM

hmm gotta try this one day. loving this idea of a 10 day challenge

strawberryjulius · 08-13-2009, 01:27 AM

I might try this..maybe when I start feeling a little better.

anandgowri · 08-25-2009, 09:37 PM

hey,
we can easily eliminate our negative thoughts through meditation

britisharrow · 08-26-2009, 09:20 AM

Can it be changed so that if you DO have a negative thought as long as you dispell it immediately, you can continue? This sounds more realistic for me.

Gary · 08-26-2009, 01:23 PM

yeah you could try that, but if you dwel on it for too long you should restart as a "punishment" for your mind, itll train to go like ' negative thought -> negative consequence '

killergowri · 08-28-2009, 12:26 AM

it sounds like funny,
i don't know how this idea works

AmethystDruid · 08-29-2009, 11:51 AM

I'm actually a pretty possitive person most of the time however I would find this difficult to do as I suffer from intrusive thoughts that I can't control, I mean I try to suppess them straight away afterwards (which I'm sure does more harm than good but what the heck) but yeah they're always negative and somewhat freaky.

Although I haven't been having as many as usual recently so... I may give it a go.
