Obsessive thoughts can poison existence. They interfere with concentration, deprive a person of calmness. In a simple case, you can get rid of them yourself. You just need to do some work on yourself.
If you find yourself in a whirlwind of unpleasant thoughts, stop the flow. Determine what exactly bothers you, what ideas prevent you from living normally. Sometimes the reason for obsessive thoughts lies in the fact that the person cannot express them. The moment they are formulated, the tension will ease. So a person's consciousness gives a signal that something is going wrong in life. As soon as he deciphers the message and starts developing a plan of action, the long-awaited peace will come.
Do not forget about such a simple way to calm down and recover, like breathing exercises. Techniques like these really help put thoughts in order and create harmony between body and soul. Try to master meditation and yoga. Then obsessions will bother you much less often and less.
Express your thoughts on paper. Start journaling or writing stories. Maybe, as soon as you begin to express yourself in this way, peace will come in your soul. In any case, this technique will help you focus on one thing and put your thoughts in order.
Start doing some handicraft art. Craftsmanship, floriculture, embroider, sew. All these activities help you to distract and calm down. Find a hobby for your soul, and you will not only recreate peace in your soul, but also make your life richer and more interesting.
To get rid of unpleasant thoughts, focus on what is happening around you. Pay all your attention to the surrounding nature, perceive everything that you see and hear in full. Try to live here and now, then you will be less worried about the problem spinning in your head.
Understand yourself. It is important for you to understand what moment is bothering you and transform the message into a more positive form. For example, you cannot calm down because of self-flagellation. Try not to scold yourself, not to accuse yourself of some kind of offense, but to pity, sympathize, encourage, bless you for new achievements.
Change internal roles. Let a guardian angel or an affectionate parent come to the place of the executioner or strictly judge.
Analyze the situation that haunts you. Be objective and discard unnecessary emotions. Understand whether everything is really so bad, whether you are in danger, how events will develop with one or another of your actions, whether you will achieve the desired result. Try to focus on the overall result of solving a specific issue.
All details should play a secondary role. Then you will correctly prioritize and will not worry about trifles that are not worth it.
Believe that your condition will not last forever. Treat it as a kind of temporary test, a test of strength. The realization that tomorrow, a week or a month later, you will not remember a particular problem, will give you strength and help you less sharply react to the flow of obsessive thoughts. You may even be able to get distracted by some activity or productive rest.
Engage in self-development and draw conclusions from your own mistakes. Accumulate life experience. The wiser, smarter, more competent you are, the more independent, adapted to life you become, the less you will be disturbed by unnecessary thoughts. Build your confidence level.
