I read somewhere that approximately three positive moments are needed to counteract one negative one.

Als, keeping a journal of daily positive moments helps you be less negative, suuposedly.

you shouldn't incourage self injury. the rubber band thing is for cutters trying to stop. it's a step up for them, but still not good.

but who am i to talk.?? me and my friends do it all the time, just the compare the welts.

Ahh, even more simple than my digital-timer-get-it-done tool! Yes, I've heard of this before (haven't ried it), but I think you could coin your new title and it would sell like hotcakes. Really!

I have not tried the rubber band method, but it seems it is an exercise of diverting your mind rather than creating a pain avoidance reflex. It seems a quick fix at best. For me, I think Bubelah's idea of coming to the root causes of your negativity would have a much more lasting effect. This approach has certainly helped me deal with my sometimes negative outlook.

I don't use the rubber band, I found it ineffective for me. But I make a conscious effort to stop myself as soon as I have bad or negative thoughts. However, I also read that you should not totally supress your "negative" thoughts. It means something bothers you and you need to acknowledge it and work it out, move on to the positive. I aslo read a good tip, if you have doubts, bad or negative thoughts, write them down and then flip the page and write something good right away, positive. This way you are not putting your "troubles" into your subconscious mind.

My mom tried to have me use a rubber band to stop biting my finger nails when I was in middle school. However, I was always too worried about hurting myself, so I just would snap it really lightly....
