Questions To Get Rid of Automatic Negative Thoughts

Don’t let stressful, negative thoughts hijack your happiness!

When the National Safety Council reports that as much as 80% of all disease and illness is initiated and aggravated by stress, it may make you take stress reduction more seriously.

But where does stress really begin? Unless we catch it where it starts, it’s going to be challenging to combat it, right?

According to clinical neuroscientist Dr. Daniel G. Amen, often, it is your AUTOMATIC NEGATIVE THOUGHTS (ANTs) that are the root of your stress.

Dr. Amen is a fan of a method developed by bestselling author and speaker Byron Katie, called the Work. 

The Work consists of writing down any bothersome, worrisome, or negative thoughts, then asking yourself four questions and doing what’s called a turnaround.
