Yesterday I shared about catching ourselves in negative self-talk and talking to ourselves positively instead. One way to assess if our thoughts are positive or negative is to ask these 3 questions (from Jon Acuff in his book Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking)

1. Is it true?

2. Is it helpful?

3. Is it kind?

By asking ourselves if our thoughts meet the above criteria, we can determine if the thoughts should stay or if we should work on changing them.

Be kind to yourself and continue to think positively.
