You have to learn to let go of the thoughts that don't make you strong otherwise these thoughts will weigh you down and weaken you instead. We all have negative thoughts and processes from past experiences, and sometimes these can be used to help you overcome obstacles but at other times these form a devastating cycle that tears you down instead of making you a better and stronger individual. When your thoughts make you doubt yourself, see yourself in a negative light, or are damaging to your self esteem and confidence then they need to be eliminated in order for you to reach your full potential. Holding on to these types of thoughts will only hold you back and prevent you from being the best and strongest person possible.

Replace thoughts that don't make you strong with ones that have a positive impact instead. If you feel like you are overweight and you are constantly thinking "I'm fat" replace this with the more positive "I am going to get in better shape" and your mind will help you make this happen. The first thought weakens you and promotes a poor self image that erodes your confidence while the second thought is positive and gives you a goal to work towards without putting yourself down. It may take some practice but eventually you will be stronger and have thoughts that boost you instead of thoughts that weaken you and drag you down. You have more strength then you realize and your thoughts should reflect this instead of working against you.
