Why do so many people have such a tough time with negativity, negative self-talk, and negative thinking? What makes that occur?

There are only four ways all emotions are created, chemical or hormonal change in the body. Everything you put in your body is a chemical, right? Coffee, tea, sugar, water, alcohol, drugs, food, everything you put in you is a chemical and affects you on some level.

Inside of that same aspect is hormones. You have thirty plus hormones in your body that are continually going up and down. They're fluctuating ongoingly because they get used up, they get old, and they have to be replaced. So chemical or hormonal change in the body is one way emotions are created.

The second way emotions are created is because of damage to the brain.
I guarantee if you stand back about 50 feet from a brick wall and you run as fast as you can head first into that wall, it's going to change how you feel quickly, right? Have a stroke, have an aneurysm, hit your head into the windshield of a car from not having your seatbelt on, bruise the brain and your emotions will rise and fall. That's the second way, damage to the brain.

The third way emotions are created is because of your self-talk and the pictures you make up inside of your head. Everybody has a voice that talks to them in their head; we all do. It never stops talking from the time you wake up in the morning until you go to sleep at night.
That voice is chattering at you. So that voice inside of your head and the pictures that it creates is the third way that emotions are created.

The fourth way emotions are created is because of something happening to your physiology. You're too hot, you're too cold, you're in pain, something has occurred with,our body.

These are the four ways that emotions are created, chemical or hormonal change in the body, damage to the brain itself, your internal dialogue, the voice in your head that talks to you and the picture that it creates, or something happened within or to your physiology. Of the four ways, between 65% to 75% of all emotions are created because of your self-talk and the mental images inside of your mind.

So what are you doing to change and control that self-talk? Self-talk is just a brainwave function. Negativity, negative thinking, positive thinking, positive attitudes are all the result of your thinking processes. 65% to 75% of all emotions are created by what you're thinking. So when you get a handle on what you're thinking, it makes a gigantic difference on how you feel. You can rewrite those thinking patterns anytime fast.

All you have to do is begin to watch that internal dialogue. When you catch that upset thinking pattern, when it's getting negative, you have to turn it around. You have to do something about it. You have to make that voice inside of your head go back to the path where you wanted. You've got to send it back down the road that works for you because that negative thinking will get in your way and take away from the fun, the pleasure, the excitement, the good stuff in your life.
Your success is inhibited by that negativity.

Positive thinking, positive thoughts, positive attitude are all about focusing on what you can do something about. It makes a giant difference. Every single day of positive focus can make a difference in what you do, have and become.

Taking just a couple of minutes to get more control of your thinking patterns can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your life.

The Best of Success to You.
