From 'Eeyore' to Catching Negative Thoughts Before They Take Hold

The main thing I've noticed from Phoenix isn't just emotional control but the difference in thinking. I've always been a doomer — my wife calls me that. My nickname at one of my old jobs was Eeyore. I always expected the worst. Now I'm having an easier time switching from instantaneous negative thinking to something infinitely more useful. It's taking time but that's OK. I feel that as I work through all of this I will become way more motivated because I will be resolving the issues that cause me to self-sabotage.
