I bet all of us have found
ourselves thinking the very thoughts we want least in our heads. These negative
thoughts just invade our minds and do not leave us alone. The more we try to
quench them or get rid of them the stronger they become. You should not be
surprised by that. Suppressing those negative thoughts actually make them
stronger and cause you to generate or store up a lot of negative energy inside
of you. What should you do then? Let us
quickly look at that. The post will not be very extensive, but it will give you
a few ideas on the subject.
1. Do not try to fight with
those thoughts.
It is a battle that you will
surely lose. For one reason or another, those thoughts find place in your mind
and you have to deal with the cause not the effect of the problem.
2. Direct your attention
elsewhere.
By fighting the thoughts you
give them too much attention and by giving them your attention you give them
your more power over you. Direct your attention elsewhere. Start thinking about
things that really interest you!
3. Do not be afraid of those
negative thoughts.
Fear will not help you.
Understand this. A thought will not harm you in any way if you don’t allow it
to. You are the master of your thoughts. Even the best and the most moral
people occasionally have ugly thoughts. They do not concentrate on them. You
shouldn’t too!
4. Fill your mind with nice
images.
If you cannot imagine
something nice yourself go to Google and search for some nice images of nature:
waterfalls, jungles, exotic birds, mountains, clouds, oceans, lakes, rivers or
the places that you have always wanted to visit. The negative stuff will go
away really fast.
5. Listen to calm and nice
music.
Thoughts come in various
forms. They may come in words and images. But they can also come in the form of
music. Music or art is a form of speaking. So, you just listen to those who
have spoken their hearts and minds to others in the form of music and other
forms of art and get a dose of good emotions, feelings and thoughts.
Ok, I believe that if you
follow just a few of those tips you will be able to replace all of your
negative thoughts with positive ones. Always remember that you are the master
of your thoughts. Let it be so!
