Curbing Your Most
Negative Thought
Written by Linda Mitchell, CPC, LMT
Our co-worker,
Tom, regularly
stops at the
coffee machine
to chat. Tom is
not well liked in
the office. He
gossips, and
he’s loud, rude,
and rarely has
an unexpressed
thought. He joins conversations uninvited and offers
his opinions at top volume. People try to walk away,
but often he receives eye rolls, unfriendly rebukes,
and sideways looks.
You may wonder, “Can’t he see he’s not wanted?”
Yes! That’s the whole point. Tom’s subconscious most
negative thought is, “I’m not wanted”, so he constantly
carries out actions that reinforce that belief. He’s
unwittingly collecting evidence to support and prove
that negative belief every day.
Whatever you choose to call it - core belief,
personal lie, or most negative thought - if you don’t
challenge it, it will run your life.
Your most negative thought might sound
something like one of these:
• I’m not good enough
• I’m not worthy of good things
• I’m bad
• I don’t belong
