I sometimes feel I am getting in my own way with my negative thoughts – what can I do to overcome this? (TPOY060)

Update: 2016-12-19

Description

Whenever we are in a new or unfamiliar situation, like being out of a job, we tend to doubt ourselves and pay more attention to our fears than when we feel secure and in familiar territory. The bad news is that, in this state we naturally have more negative thoughts. The good news is that a shift in attitude can move us out of negativity relatively painlessly.
