Negatives To Positives

[taurean]

Record here how you manage to apply a positive outlook to any negative thoughts.

OCD revels in filtering out the positive and dwelling on the negative. Going out to find positives abd recording them helps to shift the balance.

I try not to replace negative thoughts with a positive as it can become a compulsion for me. But what’s helped is too create a distance between the thoughts and when i feel much calmer, i can focus on something more positive or practice gratitude.
