How to Deal With Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts can contribute to problems such as social anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. The key to changing your negative thoughts is to understand how you think now (and the problems that result), then use strategies to change these thoughts or make them have less of an effect.

“Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all linked, so our thoughts impact how we feel and act. So, although we all have unhelpful thoughts from time to time, it’s important to know what to do when they appear so we don’t let them change the course of our day,” explains Rachel Goldman, PhD, a psychologist and clinical assistant professor at the NYU School of Medicine.

Therapy can often be helpful for changing negative thoughts, but you can also learn how to change your thought patterns on your own. This article discusses some of the steps you can take to change your negative thoughts.

Some of the ways that you can get rid of negative thoughts include:

• Using mindfulness to build self-awareness
• Identifying negative thoughts
• Replacing negative thoughts with more realistic, positive ones
• Practicing acceptance rather than trying to avoid or deny negative thoughts
• Learning to cope with feedback and criticism
• Using a diary to track your thoughts

Replace Negative Thoughts

One of the basic parts of a treatment plan involving cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is cognitive restructuring. This process helps you to identify and change negative thoughts into more helpful and adaptive responses.

Whether done in therapy or on your own, cognitive restructuring involves a step-by-step process whereby negative thoughts are identified, evaluated for accuracy, and then replaced.

Goldman suggests examining the evidence that either supports or contradicts the thought. Doing this can help you challenge negative thinking and explore alternatives that are more helpful and realistic.

Although it is difficult to think with this new style at first, over time and with practice, positive and rational thoughts will come more naturally. Cognitive restructuring can help you challenge your thoughts by taking you through steps including:

• Ask yourself if the thought is realistic.
• Think of what happened in the past in similar situations and evaluate if your
• thoughts are on course with what took place.
• Actively challenge the thought and look for alternative explanations.
• Think of what you’d gain versus what you’d lose by continuing to believe the thought.
• Recognize if your thought is actually a result of a cognitive distortion, such as catastrophizing.
• Consider what you’d tell a friend having the same thought.
