Positive vs. Negative

When classifying whether our thoughts are negative or positively, it has less to do with the actual event and more to do with how we choose to perceive them.

For example, if you’re spouse accidentally burns your toast in the morning, do you grumble and complain about, starting your day off in a bad mood? This will start you down a path of negative thinking that will carry you through the rest of the day, and once you get the ball rolling, there is no stopping such thoughts.

But consider if you didn’t think of it as a big deal, and think that after all it was just a piece of burnt toast. This way, you stop your negative thoughts from taking over your day.
So, think about it, is the fact that your toast was burnt the negative event or was it your reaction? Which of these needs to change?
