1. Sit in a comfortable quiet place with no
distractions.
- Divide your paper into two columns: – or negative on the left side,
+ or positive on the right side.
- List all thoughts, words, phrases about a situation, person, or relationship that is annoying or upsetting to you in the negative column. Include all the loaded words that you can think of: abuses, blasphemies, contumelies, curses, epithets, expletives, insults, invectives, oaths, obloquies, profanities, railings, revilements, scurrilities, swearwords, vituperations. Remember that it takes 10 positive statements to undo just 1 negative. Get the negative clutter out and away from you. You will be physically and mentally healthier. Don’t reread your list.
