How to stop negative thoughts?

If you have reached the point where your desireget rid of the constant torture of the mind has become very strong, then it's time to start making changes. There is no point in delaying, because obsessive negative thoughts can make your life miserable, making you suffer. In addition, the situation can get out of control, and then it will be especially difficult to cope with it. Therefore, we will start getting rid of negative thoughts right now! Can you stop obsessive thoughts? If it were quite easy for you to do this, then it would be just great. But the whole truth is that it is much more difficult to do than to say, because you need not just suppress your thoughts (which is not easy to do in itself, because it takes only a second for a thought to appear and “be thought”; and suppressing thoughts will not lead to anything good, it is even worse: when thoughts are suppressed, negative energy accumulates), but completely change your thoughts in general. How can you stop “thinking” negative thoughts? The secret to getting rid of obsessive thoughts is to learn to distance yourself from them. You must understand that it is impossible to fight your mind with your mind. But let's look at what we mean in more detail.

What causes negative thoughts

If you were to consciously generate your thoughts,then you could easily control them too. The truth is that thoughts are not generated by you, but by your mind, your subconscious. It is at the subconscious level in most cases that this happens. Do you want to be convinced of this? Well, then tell me: can you be sure that you know what you will be thinking about in the next thirty seconds? In a minute? In fifteen minutes? You can’t, right? And if you can’t, then how can you think that you create your thoughts consciously? If you think that you can control your thoughts, then you are wrong. Therefore, if you decide to get rid of some of them, then you need to learn to distance yourself from your thoughts and from the work of your mind. That is, to observe your thoughts as if from the outside. You will see that your mind generates thoughts, which are mostly just forms of energy. These thoughts float like clouds. Some thoughts appear out of nowhere, without any pattern, are replaced by others, in no way connected with the previous ones, then by a third - and so on. If you don’t cling to these thoughts, don’t start thinking about them, connecting emotions, then they will continue to float, pass, float away… So in reality, thoughts are just neutral forms of energy, and only your own interest in some of them makes them obsessive. If you understand this truth, then this will be the first step to understanding how to get rid of negative thoughts.

How to stop the arrival of negative thoughts

All your attempts to suppress, stop orremoving obsessive thoughts will not bring success, since you will try to use your mind for this. And how can the mind fight against itself? The only way to fight unwanted thoughts is through dissociation. This is a psychological process when a person perceives everything that happens to him as if from the outside, as if it were happening not to him, but to someone else. This process refers to defense mechanisms. What gives power to your thought? Your interest in it. If you have no interest in a certain thought, then it loses its power over you. If you have no interest in a negative thought, then you will not have to remove it - it will “float away” just as it “swam” in. Try it right now! Sit comfortably, relax, and let your thoughts flow freely one after another. You observe them as if they had nothing to do with you, and do not show any interest in them. Just remain an observer, and let the thoughts come and go freely. At first, you may find it quite difficult to observe your thoughts in this way because of your habit of “communicating” with every thought that comes into your head. This is what you will have to learn. The most important statement you must learn to give yourself is this: thoughts are simply a form of energy created by my brain. Why does the brain create thoughts? Nobody knows; it just does, that’s all! Have you ever asked yourself why your heart beats? With a little practice, you will learn to separate yourself from your thoughts. You will deprive them of their power over you by not feeding them with your interest. As soon as they are deprived of this “fuel,” thoughts immediately disappear.

How thoughts are born

All past events are saved asmemories. Your beliefs and moral habits are also stored in memory. All of this is in a “frozen” state at the subconscious level, getting there and being retrieved at the right moment in automatic mode. The perception and interpretation of what is happening to you at the moment occurs on the basis of this content of your subconscious, and it also dictates the emergence of positive or negative thoughts. That is, thoughts are created on the basis of past incidents and memories, accordingly predicting future ones and interpreting current life situations. Our brain is like a computer that tries to predict or conjure up projections of possible events based on the data it has collected so far. When thoughts are negative in nature (thoughts that cause anxiety, worry, stress, guilt, etc.), they give rise to resistance in you to the natural flow of your life, and it is this resistance that you experience as suffering. Negative thoughts will always create such resistance, and they are like huge blocks of stone thrown into the middle of a fast-flowing river. Life is a flow of pure positive energy, and therefore any negative thought will be in opposition to this flow, causing you suffering. You have already realized that the thoughts in your head increase in proportion to the strength of your interest in them. Thus, if you pay attention to your negative thoughts, you, without realizing it, feed them and attract even more impulses for their existence. These impulses will slow down and fade away if you stop feeding them with your attention. And negative thoughts will lose their power and authority over you, and it will be very easy to remove them from your consciousness. It is much better to focus on the positive thoughts generated by your brain and thus develop precisely the positive impulses of your brain. Every time you catch yourself thinking a pleasant, positive thought (e.g. love, joy, excitement, beauty, abundance, gratitude, etc.), focus on it and give it as much attention as possible. This will encourage your mind to attract even more positive thoughts and thus create sustainable positive impulses. It really is that simple. Once you learn to slow down or speed up your thoughts, you will begin to have complete control over your consciousness.

We adjust to positive

It must be said that control over one's consciousness– this is not the only way to get rid of negative thoughts. Or rather, it is not enough to take control of the situation. You need to learn to relax and tune in to a positive mood in your daily life. This is the only way to help your consciousness rebuild. Here are eleven ways to achieve this:

Catch yourself on the negative in life and do not give it to him.the course. For example, negative feelings and thoughts can overtake you when you say something unpleasant about someone. Gossip is a reflection of what emotional wave you are on your own.

Design your own mantra for yourself andsay it every time, as you notice a negative thought, thereby stopping it. As soon as you feel that everything is wrong with your thoughts, stop thinking about it immediately and start talking about yourself, for example: "The sky is blue and the butterflies are fluttering!" You can even try to imagine this picture - then a bad thought will definitely evaporate without a trace !!

Concentrate on your breathing. Such exercises can be done not only when you are not completely comfortable from your thoughts, but just for relaxation - three to four times during the day. Close your eyes and take slow deep breaths about twenty-twenty-five times. After that, return to your interrupted class.

Often experience gratitude. Take a deep breath and think that you are grateful to today for ... It can be anything, even the most imperceptible and small joy: a cup of delicious coffee, a beautiful flower in a vase, a funny phrase told by your child.

Listen to your favorite music. Buddhist monks say: "Music in the soul can be heard by the universe."

Take nature walks, preferably in the morningor in the evening. Look, listen, connect the sense of smell and touch. Feel yourself a part of nature, comparing your inner strengths with its unlimited possibilities. This identification will help you achieve inner harmony.

Go jogging.If you feel that you cannot cope with your unpleasant thoughts, then go for a run. If you find it difficult to run, then at least walk vigorously to feel a good physical load. At the same time, your body will release endorphin - the hormone of pleasure - and you will feel how your mood has noticeably improved.

Recognize your feelings. What makes you sad? We do not at all want to assure you that you should always say like a robot: "Get a grip on yourself!" Or "Everything will be fine!" It is perfectly normal and natural on this earth that a person reacts to some events with a bad mood or sadness . Let sadness sweep like a wave, and then again return to the sea. The bigger the problem, the more time it can take to "process" it. It's important not to get hung up on your feelings, but gently release them when you're ready for it.

Visualize what you want. If something bothers you, imagine something quite the opposite. For example, you are jealous or irritated with something. Imagine that you are happy and happy. Another example: imagine that you have already achieved what is actually just planned. Feel the joy and pride in your victory; this will help you keep motivation. An important point: when visualizing, do not compare yourself with others, but simply recognize how strong and capable you are.

Smile! Smile familiar, smile and those who do not know. A smile will create positive vibrations in your subconscious and make you happy in reality.

Surround yourself with positive people. It is quite natural to feel devastated and dull if you constantly hear from others only a solid negative. It is difficult not to depend on the predominance of negative energy. Mentally bless such people and quietly remove them from your life. Create a circle of communication from optimistic people and immerse yourself in an ocean of positive energy!

Get rid of the burden of negative thoughts as wellimportant, just as it is important for a long-distance runner to take off warm clothes that hinder movement. This in itself is quite possible. It will be difficult to get rid of not bad thoughts, but the bad habit of letting these thoughts into your head. Often we perform some habitual actions, as they say, on autopilot, without even noticing what we are doing. The same thing happens with our thoughts. But it is quite possible to change our habits, if only there is a desire - a desire to live better than we have lived before. There are many things in life that we cannot control; but our thoughts are under our control. Imagine how amazing your life will become if you remove the dark clouds from the sky and let the sun shine with all its might! We recommend reading:
