Which is the best way to change negative thinking into balanced thinking?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Look at evidence and think of alternative solutions
Balanced thinking examines the evidence for a fearful or negative thought, considers facts that may support or challenge it, and generates realistic alternatives. This does not mean forcing an unrealistically positive conclusion; it means reaching a fairer, solution-oriented view. Treating every fear as true, avoiding the problem, or blaming others prevents accurate evaluation and constructive action.
