Critical Thinking Analysis

1. My critical and negative thoughts highly impacts my family, friends and co-workers. I always tend to plan ahead on everything in my life. However, since I always plan for the worst case possible, I get little bit depressed and down. I know that this is not a good habit, but it is hard to not think about my future plan since I am on my own. The biggest problem is even if I hear encouragement and positive feedback on my plan from my peers, I do not feel comfortable. I get anxious and feel insecure because of that.
2. “If you’re like most people you say things to yourself you wouldn’t tolerate coming from another person. Negative self-talk scares us out of taking positive risks so we can avoid failure. Here’s how you can start to build positive,
self-empowering inner dialogues. First, recognize your negative self-talk. Next, interrupt the pattern; tell yourself “Erase that. Here’s what I really mean!” The last step is to give yourself a positive instruction, like “I can do this. I’m up to the task,” or “Let’s try it on for size.” The more you’re able to replace your negative self-talk with positive, the more your Self Esteem and self-confidence will grow (healthyselfesteem).” It is true that everybody wants to avoid a failure in their life. However, worrying about future failure that has not happened yet will do more bad than good. Maybe as the column says, I have to start think positive more and see the bright side. The more I think positive, I assume, the more confidence I will have.
