Do you have to make positive thinking a habit?

I find sometimes it’s difficult not to give in to negative thoughts and feelings. It’s almost like I have to struggle and force myself to think positively. Sometimes negative thoughts about past mistakes take over my thinking and make everything seem more gloomy. Have you dealt with this yourself or do you know someone who deals with this?
Yes it does take practice to change the pattern of negative thinking into positive. It sounds like you are doing things right though – you recognise when you are thinking negatively and you conciously replace those thoughts with positive ones. Dont worry , it does get easier , it becomes completely natural. The hardest part is breaking the habit of negative thinking – which you are going through now.
If past mistakes are making this hard for you, try looking at the mistakes differently – what good things came from those mistakes? did you learn something about yourself? did those mistakes make you stronger? did other oportunities pop up that might not have if you had not made those mistakes?
For starters – it seems that some of these ‘mistakes’ may have made you aware of your negative thinking patterns, and the need to change them – that in itself is a little gem of wisdom you have gained from those experiences.
Inspirational quotes can be very helpful while going through the shift from negative to positve thinking.
All the best.
At times negative thoughts will come back to haunt all of us. If they are recurring you do have to practice positive thinking, and yes, make it a habit.

You gotta do a little bit at a time. Miracles don’t occur overnight. Grab for small good things and enjoy them. After a while it becomes easier.

I just remember, "As you think so shall you be"
As you think negative, you become a negative force.
It was very hard at first, and of course you cant change what you think all together. But it’s just like breaking a habit. you might want that negative thought right now, when you have been able to train your mind, you will be glad you counted your blessings. Good Luck!
(the hard part is almost over)

I just decided not to care about anything anymore. That is better than constantly worrying and fearing the future.
But, that is probably not the best answer.
