Challenge 78 Write Down Negative Thoughts 30 Days

I hope I get this challenge right- "For the next 30 days during this challenge, your task is to write down 2-3 negative thoughts you have and then flip each one with 5 positive alternatives."  This is day 1- let me see how it goes. 

-Negative Thought:
I am mad that I don't have a cellphone or have much trust in the car.  I feel stuck and helpless.

+Positive Alternatives:
It gives me the opportunity to be brave- step out and make things happen for myself. 
I will learn to be better at saving money.
It gives others the opportunity to help me. 
I am unique because I don't have a cellphone.
I can feel okayish about staying at home plus I am never tempted to look at a phone I am always paying attention to others.  

-Negative Thought:
I am disappointed in myself for not teaching my girls more about their bodies and puberty. 

+Positive Alternatives:
Now it is wide open for me to teach them and for them to teach me. 
It is going to be a learning experience for all of us.
This is a sensitive topic- at least I am worried enough about it to know that it needs to be talked about- I think I am headed in the right direction. 
I have some books to guide me. 
Don't be too hard on yourself- you are correcting it and figuring out how to do it.
