Time to Squash the ANTS


No, even though this is May, Dr. Ault is not talking about insect removal. What I am talking about is the removal of Negative Thoughts, or as I like to say ANTS or Automatic Negative Thoughts.

Every day we are challenged by our own make-up. As humans we constantly bombard our subconscious with negativity. IE: "I can't do that." "What would people think of me if I did that?" "I don't need that."

Most of the time it is our own mind that is our greatest limiting factor.

So how can I eliminate these ANTS?

One great step forward is try to surround yourself with positive energy and positive influence.

1. Only hang out with those who are positive and support your vision. This is very hard to accomplish, because it is very often that those that are closest to you: family and friends, can have the most negative energy associated with them.

2. Read positive books such as "Think and Grow Rich," or "Good to Great."

3. Listen to postive music.

4. This is the most effective! Every time that a negative thought creeps into your brain WRITE IT DOWN. Then immediately CROSS IT OUT and write a TRUE POSITIVE STATEMENT.

Example: "I am never going to get promoted." (Negative)

Replace w/ "How am I going to get my boss to notice my great work today?" (positive)

Remember: Your mind is going to be filled anyway, so you might as well think positive!
