Many of us suffer from negative conditions. Thoughts make you sad, angry, offended. Without thought, there is no man as a rational being, but there are completely unnecessary thoughts that poison life.
If you understand the reason for your negative thoughts, you have almost solved the problem. There are a huge number of books on self-development, which describe the emergence of certain emotions. The mistake of many is that they classify their thoughts as facts that have already happened, and do not at all think that thoughts are the result of ongoing events.
It's easy to prove negative thoughts to be false.
It is necessary to imagine that there are two people in front of you. One of them had negative events in his life, while the other did not have such events. It is necessary to consider whether a belief affects an event that did not happen. Such an experiment confirms that thoughts are a consequence of the events taking place.
Track your thoughts
Create a diary in which you will write down your emotional states:
- thoughts,
- emotions,
- behavior.
Change your belief
The next step is to choose the thoughts that seem to be the most productive for life and have a positive effect on mood and behavior.
Live with a new belief
Whenever a similar situation arises, recall the reaction that turned out to be positive. Over time, your thoughts will change and become positive.
It should be remembered that the article presents the main mechanisms of working with negative thoughts from the point of view of psychological correction. If the events are really traumatic, and you have been haunted for a long time, then most likely only a psychologist or long self-development sessions can cope with the problem.
