About this listen

Do you find yourself fighting negative thoughts and feelings every day? Do you wish there was something you could do to be more positive? Are you tired of being controlled by your emotions? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you are going to want to keep listening.

Negativity is a normal part of life. Nobody can be positive all that time because life isn’t always going to be perfect. That said, sometimes negativity infiltrates our minds and bodies and never leaves. A good day can be ruined by your mind dwelling on something stupid that happened years ago. You sit for hours ruminating over it, and before you realize it, you have wasted a great day. We’ve all had experiences like that, and they suck. Here’s the thing, though; we can’t let that continue to happen. We have to take control of our minds instead of being at the whim of our thoughts and feelings.

That’s what this book is here to help you do. It’s no easy feat to stop thought processes you have had your entire life. It will take some work, but with the right tools, you can learn how to rewire your brain so that you are happier and healthier.

In this book, you will learn about:

  • What thoughts are
  • The difference between our thoughts and our core beliefs
  • How our emotions and thoughts work together
  • How to manage your emotions
  • The importance of a growth mindset and how to develop one
  • How negative thinking can hurt you
  • The major causes of anger
  • The difference between pessimism and optimism
  • How to develop awareness over your emotions and thoughts
  • How to silence the inner critic
  • How to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to reprogram your mind
  • The importance of gratitude

We’ve all felt sad, happy, angry, mad, disgusted, excited, and numb. It’s normal for emotions to change throughout the day. What isn’t normal is always feel down or feeling as if you have to force yourself to be happy. We shouldn’t be pessimistic about everything because “somebody always lets me down”. If you have used the statement, “if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all”, then you likely need help for negative self-talk. It’s not okay to feel like you have no other options but to feel bad. You have the right to be happy, and you can learn how to be happy and more optimistic.

It’s time to step out of the darkness of negative thought patterns and take control over your life. How to Stop Being Negative, Angry, and Mean, is here to help you do just that. If you are tired of feeling sad all the time, scroll up and click “Buy Now” right now.

Very informative

I’ve been going through a hard time with my toxic boss recently, it’s been so toxic that it almost ended my marriage. I had to go for counseling and this book was recommended. I’m feeling far much better now.

Great to learn about negativity

It’s a great book to analyze yourself and be able to recognize and learn different aspects of emotions and negativity that maybe you thought you understood but you don’t and it gives you a better depth and it helps you be able to have a more positive outlook on your current situation

Content is very helpful

This book is very helpful to support letting go of anger and moving forward. I think you need to have done some prior inner work on anger as I found if you have a basics in understanding where your anger arises and how you became this way then this book can take you to the next level of healing.
