Studies show that the majority of people's daily thoughts are negative and 7% of those negative thoughts cause stress and heart problems. You might ask if the majority of our thoughts are negative, then how come some people have quiet, happy, and successful life?

Studies show that 90% of our beliefs are formed by the age 7. This programming is acquired mainly from our parents, and then friends and the media. If a child is programmed to thinking and saying to himself "I'm stupid" or "I'm ugly," he will grow believing that he is stupid or ugly and this belief could lead him to commit suicide in the long run if he gets to the point that he can‘t deal with it anymore.
To learnhow to control your emotions and overcome negative thoughts, follow the steps below:

Always remember what Robert Kiyosaki said, "If you want to change your life, begin by changing your words. Start speaking the words of your dreams, of who you want to become, not the words of fear and failure."
