We all have an inner critic that tells us when we’ve done something wrong and won’t let us forget it. What’s worse is sometimes it’s difficult to quiet that critic and get on with our day.

Today, use this simple technique for quieting your negative thoughts. Choose a poem or prayer from one of your favorite books and spend a little time memorizing it. The next time you hear your inner critic, banish the negativity by repeating your favorite poem instead.

Thank you so much for this site. I want to be healthy for myself and my family but have never really thought about being negative before. This is a great tip.

I like to remind myself of a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”. Positive thinking is so powerful, and it really helps to carry me through some of the roughest days.

I wasn’t always positive but after seeing that sometimes you just have to laugh at the bad and I began to be more positive about things, I noticed every aspect of my life became more positive!Whether it is Karma, Following the Golden Rule, or how ever you would like to put it we could all use more of those positive vibes!!

What a great idea. I am really trying to focus on being a more positive person, because I am by nature a negative person. I think this idea will really help me. My husband is a very positive person and looks for the good in everything. I want to change because I have seen my daughter taking on my negative attitude and I don’t like it. Thanks for the idea!!

I have never been one to think negative but there is always people around you that do… and i try to remind them that if you think negative the positive will not show so think positive and life will carry you …...
