Do negative thoughts consume more energy?
As you may imagine, repeating negative, all-or-nothing thoughts constantly can drain your energy during the day. Think of thoughts like an app running in your mind. If you keep the app running 24/7 with high-emotion, negative thoughts, it’s going to drain your battery – even if you do nothing else all day.
Why is negative thinking important?

What are negative thoughts and how do they affect us?
They directly cause what we could describe as ‘negative’ (unwanted or unpleasant) emotions like anxiety, depression, stress, fear, unworthiness, shame etc. Once we learn to recognise and identify negative thought patterns as they occur, we can start to step back from them.
Why do most people misunderstand this whole negative thinking debacle?
Most people misunderstand this whole negative thinking debacle because they misunderstand what thoughts are in the first place. Happiness doesn’t depend on how few negative thoughts you have, but on what you do with the ones you have.
Is negative thinking slowing you down as a leader?
Negative thinking can slow a leader down. Leaders must take every thought captive by replacing thoughts of fear with thoughts of hope and belief. One tool that many great thinking leaders use is to develop a morning routine where they read something encouraging and positive every morning. – Ken Gosnell, CEO Experience
