It sounds like you are aiming. Don’t take this personally, but you will encounter rejection and self doubt more than the average person here bc of this lofty goal you choose to pursue.

Try not think of it as positive and negative, but more have the mindset of working towards something. Think of what you have to do and accomplish it. Break set realistic expectations for yourself and get pleasure from reaching your goals one step at a time. Be practical and actionable and follow through, and those so called ‘positive’ thoughts will come.

Read How to Win Friends and Influence People. It's the #2 best selling book of all time.

For your specific question, read How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.

Both by Dale Carnegie.

First things first, congrats on the self awareness. You’re aware of the fact that it’s your mindset holding you back and you display a desire to overcome that. Most people will go their whole lives without ever taking responsibility for what happens in their lives. So be proud of overcoming that first hurdle.

Second, remember that life happens for you, it doesn’t happen to you. Thomas Edison said “I didn’t fail to discover the incandescent lightbulb 10,000 times. I successfully found 10,000 ways it would not work.”

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Failure is not a result but a state of mind where one gives up. Learn from your mistakes and know that everything is happening for you, not to you.

Simply, stop acting like a bitch and do the opposite of what bitches do. Emotionally check yourself the millisecond that bullshit pops in your head. Make it a habit. I give myself 30 seconds max to think about negative bullshit then I laugh at those stupid thoughts.

Eventually that voice gets quieter and quieter with time.

Every time a negative thought pops in your head, you need to get pissed off and tell yourself that that shit is completely unacceptable.

What kind of man do you want to be? I know that I'm no bitch.

Wrap a tight and thick rubber band around your wrist.

Every time you catch yourself in a negative thought loop, pull on the rubber band and let it slap down onto your skin.

Immediately as you feel the pain, shift your thoughts towards positivity and self appreciation.

Eventually you wont need the rubber band anymore.
