Intelligence
State of Mind
Not only can negative thinking affect how you are feeling in the moment, but it can also alter your state of mind. Pessimistic thoughts can linger and fester for hours, days, weeks, months, or even years. How you walk away from any situation affects how you will see it in the future.
Attitude
Every day we make a conscious decision whether to be happy or sad, cheerful or angry. Negativity affects our attitude, which in turn affects our behavior. Fostering an attitude of gratitude helps us to remember our blessings instead of focusing on the negative.

Distract or Combat
The science of cognitive behavioral therapy brings us some cool ways to turn negativity around. When a negative thought enters your head, your first line of defense is to distract yourself from it.

If your negative emotion is still trying to get the best of you, put up a fight. Talk back to it and don’t be afraid to give it some serious attitude. Let’s say you trip getting off the elevator and drop your coffee, spilling it everywhere. Your mind may be inclined to think, I’m such an idiot! Why am I always so clumsy? Now, pretend your brain is a bully that just said the same thing about your friend (who happens to be exactly like you.) Hey, people trip sometimes. That doesn’t make them clumsy, let alone always clumsy.
