i grew up with a very pessimistic mindset bc of my childhood. i want to change that. does anyone have any advice on that ? like whenever i try doing affirmations i quite literally just can’t take it serious. is it just a hump to get over ? idk :/

whatever you focus on grows. if you focus on negativity, negativity will grow. focus on positivity, and positivity will grow! trust the process!

I heard something about trying to get to neutrality first rather than jumping to positivity immediately, it kind of worked for me

It’s more specifically catered to people who hate themselves in their mind, where instead of jumping to loving themselves they just tolerate it, so I guess you could apply the same thing to your whole thought process. Idk if that makes sense
