Rob Dial calls his automatic negative thoughts "ants" that crawl into his mind. He learned to catch them and ask how to turn bad events into something amazing. The ants still show up, but now he has a plan to reframe them.

I remember when I was younger, I was extremely pessimistic. I could find the negative in anything. I was like a negative seeking person. But for so long, I've been trying to find the positive, trying to find the positive, trying to find the positive. Anything bad happens. Whenever shit happens, shit hits the fan. Whatever it is, I try to find the positive in it. Then now it's more of a natural thought for the first thought to be something of like, hey, how can we turn this into something amazing? So if you have the ants that pop up, the automatic negative thoughts, they will still pop up sometimes, but you have to have some sort of a plan of when this automatic negative thought, the ant pops up. This is what I'm going to switch it to.
