www.thepositivityplace.co.gb How I beat my negative thoughts by Duncan Ashworth On 7 July 2012 I was in a car accident and injured my back. (1) ____ Before my accident I was a really active person. I ate healthily, played tennis and swam. I had a busy social life and a job as a lawyer. All that changed after my accident. I had to learn to walk again. (2) ____ The one thing I could still do was use my laptop. So I started to write a diary and reflect on my feelings. (3) ____ I used to think, ‘If I hadn’t been in the accident, I wouldn’t be stuck in this hospital bed. If my back doesn’t get better, I’ll never walk again.’ So I decided that every time I had a thought like that I would replace it with something positive. I used a meditation technique. It involved focusing on my breathing for a few minutes, then thinking about how I was feeling. If I felt stressed I would check my body to find out exactly where I felt stressed; for example, a tightness in my chest, or a pain in my stomach. I would breathe into this area and try to imagine it was relaxing and all the stress was flowing out of my body. Another thing that helped me a lot was laughter. I had a very entertaining roommate in the hospital called Ian. He had broken both his legs in a motorcycle accident. Despite what he was going through, he never lost his sense of humour. He made me laugh and this helped me a lot. Another thing that helped me was being grateful. At the end of every day I made a list of ten things I was grateful for; it could be about the weather, something I achieved or just the simple pleasure of a eating a bar of chocolate. (4) ____ After six months I went home and eventually back to my job. But something had changed inside me. I felt stronger as a person. I felt more able to cope with difficulties and challenges. I believe that if I hadn’t been in that accident I wouldn’t have learned so much about myself and about how we must think positively about what life can throw at you.
