How to stop negative thoughts
Hypnosis can help you stop negative thoughts.
Steps to free yourself from negative thoughts:
Choose an image (such as a loved one’s face, a cartoon character, a diploma you’ve earned) that makes you smile.
Choose an image that to you signifies STOP. (Could be a stop sign, a red traffic light, a police officer’s upraised arm, a teacher’s frown, etc).
When a negative thought occurs, immediately imagine your STOP symbol.Then right away imagine your SMILE image.
This derails your negative thought and creates a new avenue of pleasure and positive thinking.
