Many of us suffer from negative conditions. Thoughts make you sad, angry, offended. Without thought, there is no person 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 describes the emergence of certain emotions. The mistake of many is that they classify their thoughts as facts that have already happened, and do not think at all that thoughts are the result of events.
Proving the falsity of negative thoughts is easy
It is necessary to imagine that in front of you are two people. One of them experienced negative events in life, while the other did not have such events. You need to consider whether persuasion affects an event that was not there. Such an experiment confirms that thoughts are the result of events.
Watch your thoughts
Create a diary in which you will write down your emotional states:
- thoughts
- emotions
- behavior.
Change the conviction
Now you need to choose the thoughts that seem the most productive for life and have a positive effect on mood and behavior.
Live with a new conviction
Each time a similar situation arises, remember 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 basic mechanisms for working with negative thoughts in terms of psychological correction. If the event is really traumatic, and you have been haunted for a long time, then most likely only a psychologist or long self-development classes can cope with the problem.
