Think the Thoughts You Deserve
Negative thoughts will always yield negative feelings, and you deserve better! Rather than endlessly dwelling on disappointments, frustrations, and hurts, turn your attention toward that which is good. At the end of each day, make lists:

-Of the achievements you’re proud of
-The daily events and moments you’re thankful for
-The hopes you have for the future.

Stick with it, and you may see negative thoughts vanish altogether.
