follow your pattern of thinking at the end of every day can be a
valuable way to identify your negative thoughts and make a plan
to change them to positive thoughts.

you back from having a positive outlook, you'll need to become
more aware of your "automatic negative thoughts". When you
recognize them, you're in a position to challenge them and give
them their marching orders to move right out of your head.
