Author Emma-Marie Smith suggests asking yourself these five questions when you feel negative thoughts creeping in:

— Is the thought true? Is there a basis for this negative belief?

— Is the thought giving you power, or is it taking your power away?

— Can you put a positive spin on this thought or learn from it?

— What would your life look like if you didn’t have these negative beliefs?

— Is the thought glossing over an issue that needs addressing?
