7. IDENTIFYING NEGATIVE
THINKING

8. NEGATIVE SELF TALK POSITIVE THINKING
I've never done it before It's an opportunity to learn something
new.
It's too complicated I'll tackle it from a different angle
I don't have the resources Necessity is the mother of invention
I'm too lazy to get this done I wasn't able to fit it into my schedule,
but I can re-examine some priorities
It's too radical a change Let's take a chance
No one bothers to communicate with me I'll see if I can open the channels of
communication
I'm not going to get any better at this I'll give it another try.

9. HOW TO CHANGE
• Each time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought,
change it into a positive one
• If you catch yourself visualizing failure, switch to visualizing
success
• If you hear yourself repeating negative words, switch to
positive ones
• Open your mind to positive attitude, happenings and events

10. RATIONAL THINKING
• Feelings of inadequacy
• Worries that your performance in your job will not be good
enough
• An anxiety that things outside your control will undermine
your efforts
• Worries about other people's reactions to your work

11. NEGATIVE AFFIRMATION
 FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY
– Have you trained and educated yourself as well as you reasonably
should to do the job?
– Do you have the experience and resources you need to do it?
– Have you planned, prepared and rehearsed appropriately?
If you've done all of this, then you've done everything that you should
sensible do. If you're still worried, are you setting yourself unattainably
high standards for doing the job?

 WORRIES ABOUT PERFORMANCE
Do you have the training that a reasonable person would think is
needed to do a good job?
Have you planned appropriately?
 Do you have the information and resources that you need?
 Have you cleared the time you need, and cued up your support team
appropriately?
Have you prepared thoroughly?
If you haven't, then you need to do these things quickly. If you have, then
you are well positioned to give the best performance that you can.

13. Conti…
 PROBLEMS WITH ISSUES OUTSIDE YOUR CONTROL
Have you conducted appropriate contingency planning?
Have you thought through and managed all likely risks and
contingencies appropriately?
If so, you will be well prepared to handle potential problems.
 WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S REACTIONS
If you have put in good preparation, and you do the best you can, then
that is all that you need to know. If you perform as well as you
reasonably can, and you stay focused on the needs of your audience,
then fair people are likely to respond well. If people are not fair, then
this is something outside your control.

14. POSITIVE AFFIRMATION
 FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY
"I am well trained for this. I have the experience, the tools, and the
resources that I need. I have thought-through and prepared for all
possible issues. I can do a really good job.“
 WORRIES ABOUT PERFORMANCE
"I have researched and planned well for this, and I thoroughly
understand the problem. I have the time, resources and help that I need.
I am well prepared to do an excellent job."

15. Conti…
 PROBLEMS WITH ISSUES OUTSIDE YOUR CONTROL
"We have thought about everything that might reasonably happen, and
have planned how we can handle all likely contingencies. Everyone is
ready to help where necessary. We are very well placed to react flexibly
and effectively to unusual events.“
 WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S REACTION
"I am well-prepared and am doing the best I can. Fair people will
respect this. I will rise above any unfair criticism in a mature and
professional way."

16. TIPS
• If you find it difficult to look at your negative thoughts
objectively, imagine that you are your best friend or a
respected coach or mentor. Look at the list of negative
thoughts. Imagine that they were written down by someone
you were giving objective advice to, and think about how
you'd challenge these thoughts.
