- Negative thinking and negative thoughts affect us physiologically and mentally. Here are the 3 things you must master in relation to your negative thinking starting today:
1) Mastery over observing a negative thought. KEY: The less ‘SPIDERWEBBING’ you do the better you’ll get.
2) Mastery over replacing a negative thought. KEY: Catch the thought early (I recommend with an elastic band) and use the word ‘OR.’
3) Mastery over strengthening a negative thought. KEY: Power pose while repeating the thought out loud to bring emotion to it.
*Comment below on your greatest epiphany from this video on how to stope negative thinking, let's chat.

The power to halt negative thinking patterns with an elastic band, here’s how: czcams.com/video/DPNTZ_O1mtU/video.html
One piece of advice I heard is that when your anxiety is at its worst, it is the BEST time to get on with your day. Instead of hiding under the covers on the couch, get out and DO SOMETHING! You will not feel like it obviously. But it teaches the amygdala over time that there is no threat. You have to TRAIN your primitive brain that there is no real threat and you are actually safe. The other key part is 'acceptance'. At the same time you are having high anxiety instead of engaging with it and fighting it. You accept you are having high anxiety and let it burn itself out. What will be will be, why try to fight it since it's going to happen no matter what. So you may as well ride it out and not attempting to 'fight' it. All the while continuing to 'live your life'. The hardest part when having an anxiety attack is stopping yourself from giving in to the fight or flight mentality of hiding from whatever is making you fearful. I always feel better once I have confronted the thing making me fearful. Whether that be a health issue or other external event. Of course the main issue is when you have to wait quite a while to confront a thing. This is where the 'OR' thing comes into play.
I totally agree, but how do you do that when your heart is beating so hard and you can’t focus on anything else and you feel like dying and feel every eye on you. I feel like I can’t take it anymore
Not every question demands an answer. I won't forget that
Dennis, I've been following you for about 2 years now. I've read your first 3 books and am waiting for #4 to come out on Audible. I didn't join any of your programs, but doing what I've done has gotten me to the point at which I feel like I'm coming out the other side, anxiety free.
This is all to say that if one can't afford it or like me, wanted to take a slower path, the end result is still possible.
EVERYONE with ANY type of Anxiety should follow Dennis. Read his books. Join his programs.
IT WORKS💪
Anyone can do this!!
Much love to all and Thank You Dennis!!! ❤❤❤
Mel H yes I just started following him and his voice calms me down.
All 3 spoke to me. I’ve mastered negative thinking for years 🤦♀️. I’m going to watch this several times because my mindful thinking jumps ship during anxiety , symptoms or panic…..thank you Dennis for this. Bless you 🙏🏻❤️ for being there for us!
I love the commitment.
Number 2. OR. I have been spiralling recently and I feel that using OR would be beneficial and easy to remember 🤗
I think the part about strengthening a thought really spoke to me personally, because I feel like I am at the point in my journey where I am able to tell myself that I am okay, and this will pass and that my thoughts are just getting the best of me. As well as implementing positive affirmations, but I find that they don’t “Stick”, it boosts my confidence temporarily, but i can’t get it to “lock in”. It makes complete sense to put some sort of emotion to it for it to stick with you. That is how anxiety stays with you, so the same must be true when you want to strengthen a positive thought. Thank you Dennis :)
Very welcome Lena thank you for sharing.
Observe a thought is so important, it's a law of physics. Things change when we observe them. Even thoughts.
Thank you for the share.
Needed this so badly today. Thank you, Dennis. You make a difference in life.
Enjoy applying :)
Strengthening my thoughts. I am totally able to stand there and remind myself that I am strong. I am more than my anxiety!
I'm going to start applying observing thoughts! I feel I have a habit of needing to react to every one of them.
We've been there, many of us, thank you for sharing.
Love this! 100000% anxiety definitely become physical. This is exactly how panic symptoms manifest!
I appreciate the reframes you share here! ✨🙏💙
Very welcome my friend.
I'm struggling with health anxiety so bad but listening to you everyday has really helped me I have a lot of weird things going on in my body when anxiety and panic starts and I do exactly what your talking about I let my thoughts spiral out of control
Please make sure to understand the health anxiety path to healing as mentioned through this video: czcams.com/video/_xW6B0KAcZU/video.html
I love the concept of observing a thought and allowing it to just pass by. This too shall pass- not every intrusive thought has to be a be reality
And I love the "or" concept. It kinda forces you to see the positive possibility
Thank you Dennis 💕
You're very welcome.
Thanks, Dennis✌️
I’m going to say that observing is the step that I need the most as I have a tendency to run with most any thought that comes to mind.
Replacing is what stood out most to me and I need to apply it starting today ❤
Thank you so much I think you’re the best person I have found on CZcams and you’ve helped me a lot
The thing that spoke to me more about this video is the OR mentality. If I feel a negative thought I will catch it and give my inner child which is “OR is could all be a positive learning experience” “OR it could be the greatest experience of my life”
This is what I will plan on doing thank you Dennis❤️❤️❤️
You're very welcome Christian glad it spoke to you.
Excellent video Dennis. I really do need this this morning 🙏🏻. I’m really excited for continuing my healing with ORS! The part about adding the power of OR at the end of the thought is what I’m going to start applying today, and also, strengthening it. I started it while watching this and got an amazing joyful feeling. So excited for this!
Yes these are powerful, in time changes will be felt naturally.
The replacement resonated with me the most. My health anxiety has reared its ugly head lately but I am certain I will replace it with new and positive thoughts!
I will be being doing more of the replacing and strengthening!
Hi Dennis number 2 replace for me stood out. Love the "or" will do this from NOW! Thank you for being there. I am feeling so much better. No more inner chat! A sense of peace I have never felt before!
This is amazing to hear Naomi, keep us updated.
What spoke to me is the ability to observe a thought, easier said than done but it really hit me on how I can master this with the power poses before my day starts in the am.
As a health anxiety sufferer ever since a loved family member passed away I have been struggling but with little progresses and big gains I’m going to get a better life back.
Thank you Dennis
Thank you for this! I’m going to adopt the ‘power pose’ and allowing myself to believe that today is going to be the best day! That’s surprisingly scary when your whole body is telling you it’s afraid! But gotta start somewhere 💪💪💪
Yes I understand, thanks for sharing.
Great video I began your anxiety program at the beginning of the year, I’m so happy how targeted it is and it’s keeping me accountable every day 🙏
Love hearing anxiety program successes, keep up.
Strengthening my thoughts, I will try to start this tomorrow morning. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Very welcome Julie, keep us updated.
Love this . Made me feel so powerful and powerful over my thoughts
Love to hear it.
For me / the 2nd concept spoke to me the most. Looking fwd to trying 2 & 3 tomorrow
Let us know how it goes Lisa.
So much to take away from this excellent video. I love the universe setting us a challenge approach that’s a great way of reframing things.
Thank you for the feedback.
Txs Denis ❤ all 3 spoke to me. I will practice daily.
Keep it up
Thank you for existing
Blessed to have your trust.
Love the method. Keep winning each batte, warriors.
Much love to you.
Great video...watching the thoughts walk by is what I am working on. I have had help doing this and feel lots of relief. With practice I can see how this becoming a normal action can be so helpful. thank you!
Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks Dennis. I'll add R and T to my daily routine, observing has worked quite well already.
Nice to hear it’s been working.
All 3 spoke to me ,iam starting to implement these three thing with my messy mind ..thank you Dennis ❤️
Very welcome love seeing the commitment.
I’m going to definitely try the rubber band today, thanks for the recommendation
Here's an in depth explanation on the rubber band technique: czcams.com/video/DPNTZ_O1mtU/video.html
For myself, it was replacing a negative thought with OR, definitely going to try this! Thank you Dennis 💙
Commit and it will make a difference I’m sure Ellen.
Giving emotion to positive thoughts and yes!! Not everyone gets to age. We should be so fortunate
Love the way you dissect all these subjects.
Very interesting as always.
Thank you for reiterating this important point.
The elastic band negative thoughts frightened me Dennis and keeps my anxiety going thank you x
Much love your way, it will get better.
Hi thank you for this helpful podcast and reminder ❤️
This came right on time Dennis 👍🏽💯. I hate it and can't stand it. It all starts by identifying what it is and don't get caught up by obsessing your energy to it. It can be energy draining and a waste of time. People have different phobias like getting their vital signs like their Blood Pressure and weight. When in reality it's just anxiety giving false inaccurate reading. A fear of chemicals like Bleach, Gasoline ⛽, Spray Paint and etc. It's really just fear and psychological creation is main culprit. Exercise 💪🏽💯 and eating healthy Leafy Greens, Protein, Nutrients and etc. The Spider 🕸️ 🕷️ Webs are a nightmare and toxic people make it worse by giving BS solutions that does not do nothing. But escalate the situation even worse. Videos like these are helpful and informative for people like me. I'm still reading your book F Coping Start Healing now. It has some very amazing informative wisdom and knowledge. Life Lessons of Anxiety. Keep up the great work 🙌🏽💯 Dennis.
I'm actually at the point in my program where I'm supposed to be implementing "or" and I can honestly say this is something that I can really work on doing. All of them are but for some reason this is the one that speaks to me the most. Giving myself the opportunity to see my thoughts from another perspective instead of just the initial one.
Thank you for sharing Jessica.
Observing a thought really resonates with me. PRACTICE , PRACTICE!
Yes, such a key.
There is no balance in my life. There has never been a balance of emotions or anything in my life since my teens. All I've ever known is melancholy, dissatisfaction and worry. I've never felt "happy".... There were times briefly where I thought I could be optimistic about the posibility of being a happy person, but I've always had to deal with this on my own. I've tried therapy....There was only one time where I felt I was benefittibg from it....but I've never had the emotional support of family...never been in a long term relationship, haven’t dated a lot and I haven’t had a best friend in years.
the strengthening method spoke to me and it is the one i would like to first apply.....thank you dennis
Great to hear, let’s master it.
OR spoke to me the most. Working on replacing is key to changing the spiderweb.
Thank you for your feedback.
I think the most powerful of all 3 is observing.
I was just going through an anxiety attack and you helped me calm down. Thanks!! You’re right all I had to do was add “OR” this can happen instead…. And immediately I started to feel better. Even though my mind tried to sabotage it by telling me that the other option (the negative) was more possible, I told myself in a loud voice with empowering pose that the positive thought I added instead was also an option and a better one. Don’t know if I made sense, but just wanted to thank you. I appreciate you and you’re doing an amazing job with humanity. ❤️
Such kind words, thank you.
Thank you, my friend, for reminding me not to look for anxiety or symptoms when they are gone. Oh, let's not forget the rubber band
I've been struggling sense kindergarten with anxiety but once I got to high-school my anxiety got so bad, I was always in hospitals. Not believing what ever the doctors would tell me because I made up in my mind that I was going to die or something. Present day I'm doing a lot better than I was & I'm more outgoing & talkative. I just still get stomach pain in the morning, I wake up & I can feel the anxiety reving up, it just feels like a train coming at me. I'm also very sensitized. Thank you for everything you've done to help me & many others. Your a blessing to us all Dennis! Much Love!
This too shall pass, let these videos be your guide.
Thank you.
The one that stood out to me was Putting emotion behind positive thoughts. Its easy to skip the positive sometimes and I'm interested to see how much powerful it can be.
Absolutely, looking forward to your feedback in the future.
All 3 really spoke to me.
This is excellent, thank you for sharing.
Thank u always
Observing a thought iam going to start to do this today thankyou
Very welcome, love the commitment.
Good video! To me, the observe step spoke to me the most and it feels almost like the foundation to the other steps. Often I don't even catch myself going down the negative thought spiral, so there's no room for me to apply Replace or Strengthen. I feel like having a bit more distance to my thoughts allows me to treat them better/differently.
Yes I use this meditation regularly and it still helps to strengthen my rational thinking daily.
Such a great session!
Thank you for this!
I fell off from the elastic band technique, for a little, going to get back right on that.
But, for me 'S" stood out for me.
Positive reflection in the mirror, reframing an old negative thought with positive speech and emotion.
Take care!
Thanks for the feedback Steve 👍
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 You're Welcome!
Fantastic Video Dennis.
Grateful for your input.
Bless u dennis
Much love Valery.
You so fabulous and amazing thank for this wonderful viedo, you are a gift.
Grateful, thank you!
It happens every day in my head, this might get rid of my negitive thinking!
It will, practice them daily Lonnie.
All, thank u sir
You are very welcome, enjoy the channel.
Or and replacement 😊
Learning to let be and use or is a very good tool rumination on negative thinking is no good for anyone.
Replacing a thought spoke to me. I was hesitant to use the elastic band because of the association with self inflicting pain, but I don't have to pull that hard lolll.
Exactly, thank you for the engagement let me know how it goes.
Yeah I’ve gotta try these tactics! How do I sustain the new perspective mindset despite all the bombardments of either negative thinking from my brain or someone else’s brain? In other words I want to be able to keep the “in it to win it” mentality at ALL times through out the day.
My manifesting meditations help so much.. ❤
Love to hear it, are you more of a morning or evening meditator?
This will take some practice but I like it!
Let’s do it :)
Strengthening thoughts 💭
Thanks for sharing.
Love you 😘
Love you too.
Very good
Much love my friend I’m glad it spoke to you.
😭 🙏🏻
In both of your books you suggest visualisation, this is something I really struggle with! I can’t see myself in my minds eye or create scenarios, any tips would be very welcome x
Hi Sarah, meme work, acting classes, daydreaming, grounding work, meditation can all contribute to helping with imagery work. Also, your intention is more important than what you see. So as you’re doing the reframing work don’t be too hard on yourself, your subconscious gets your intentions and the feelings that accompany what you’re doing.
Struggling badly with health anxiety, one day think I've mastered changing my habits. The worst one of all is continually examining my body for signs I have something wrong,cancer is my biggest fear. How do I stop self examining?
De-value the habit of worry, meditate on observing the bodies reactions, and reframe your past childhood traumas. A good start to healing health anxiety.
Please Denis anytime after am
Dumbell exercise l felt like I didn't get what I want and it has being hurting me for years have tried to overcome it but still it all started year @ high school because i don't feel good with how i look pls help me
Ors spock to me thank you
Very welcome.
Whenever i am wrong about any situation ,my mind points out it and say to myself that i am wrong in every decision of my life .My mind cant see my good things it only points out the negative things ,and it just confuse relating the situation A and B but they dont have any direct link ,and i suffer from OCD whole day .Pls help me .I have lost my self belief ,i had lot of false beliefs in my mind ,and i am gardually become mad.
How to master over observing. For example I think I am about to die. So how should I observe it?
Close your eyes, and observe it from the part of you that has already healed these types of fears. What would you see? See that.
Health anxiety drives me mad. Every sensation is something dreadful. Sore gums(mouth cancer)sore throat( throat cancer)solve one problem, replace it with another. HELP.
CBT therapy is a must my friend. I have just started and even my panic driven brain can recognise it
Ok so here it goes i right now think ive got lung cancer (non smoker)cause ive ben having chest pain and a slight cough seriously the thought is eating me
Negative? Make it a Cross of JESUS🌱🙏
Does anyone get twitches in your bottom lip?
I'm sure there are people that do.
