Examine my thoughts

[Hopefortoday]

Been thinking about my thinking. I recently began to realize how my own negative thoughts about failing at something whether it be a new job, loosing weight or saving money. I really blow things up in my head and I am in turn spiraling into anxious thinking and then I get the symptoms. I remember as a kid I learned a lot of fear and urgency which I have been working hard to over come. I know see the thought patterns as defeating.

You speak of self fulfilling prophecies. I do likewise worrying about matters. I think I need to take more baby steps to over come behavior leading to self fulfilling negative prophecies. Once I start something & get going on it the end result is usually alright. Getting started is the first baby step I too often don’t take & things can get overlooked & thence snowball out of control from there.
