You Can’t Grow With 80% Negativity on Repeat
And that's exactly how your brain functions...
Most people don’t notice it.
But the numbers are brutal:
You think between 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts a day. And 80% of them? Negative.
That’s what research says.
But wait, you’re not made of negativity. It’s just your brain trying to keep you safe and sound. Because your brain is designed for survival, not success.
It’s scanning for danger. Predicting failure. Repeating the worst-case scenario on a never-ending loop.
Took me more than 5 years to realize it. And another 2 to “fix” it. That’s when things started aligning for me.
Here’s what high achievers do differently:
They don’t just think.
They watch their thoughts.
They filter them.
They reframe them.
That’s the technique.
The 3-Step Reframe
Catch it.
Notice the negative script when it starts running. ("This won’t work. I'm not good enough. No one will care.")Interrupt it.
Question it: “Is this real? What makes it real? According to who?” Search for proof of these negative thoughts. You’ll realize they only exist in your brain.Replace it.
Reframe it with a question: “What’s one thing I can do right now that moves me forward, closer to my goal?”
This doesn’t mean you become blindly positive.
It means you become mentally active, not reactive.
So try this now:
When a negative thought hits, don’t argue with it.
Observe it. Pause. Replace it with a better question. Seek the facts.
Then act from there.
Because if you don’t choose your thoughts, they’ll choose your results.
And remember to have a GUT time!
