How to get rid of negative thoughts

Negative thoughts is a normal reaction to a negative event, but the harmful mental effects of that reaction are not normal. That is why negative thinking can interfere with other healthy behaviours.

Talk therapy helps reduce the adverse mental effects of negative thoughts, because it focuses on managing the negative thoughts.

Positive thinking doesn’t undermine behaviour that is clearly helpful to you, but it can weaken your relationship with your brain.

Conventional thinking says that negative thinking will destroy your relationships, but this conventional thinking has been proved wrong in many studies.

Practicing positive thinking can improve your relationship with your brain, too. Here are some of the best ways to get rid of negative thoughts.

Create strong boundaries

To begin working on building better relationships with your brain, you need to establish the following behavior boundaries.

You are allowed to come up with as many strategies as you want to combat unhealthy thoughts, but you must decide on which strategies are a threat to your relationship. If you constantly find yourself coming up with new ways to deal with your negative thoughts, this might be a sign that you are thinking negatively too much.

Your boundary list should include what you are not allowed to think about at any time.

For example, you can’t think about how scared you are that your child might go down the wrong path. If you notice that you tend to enter a situation that makes you feel anxious, you can control this behaviour by creating a boundary that makes you feel safe and secure.

Find healthy ways to think

Now that you know that you can learn to think positively, you need to figure out how to think positively.

A healthy relationship with your brain starts with your acceptance of the fact that thoughts are useful in helping you feel better.

No matter how helpful your thoughts may be, they can never be the reason that you behave the way that you do. You need to remind yourself that you have control over your behaviour. You can always change your thoughts and behaviour if you want.

Consider that you will only do something that you believe is healthy, so you should be conscious of doing something that makes you feel positive.

Start noticing how you respond to situations, and how you feel when you think negatively.
Spend some time to think about the kind of person that you want to be, and the kind of person that you want your relationships to be.

One way to look at your thoughts is to consider that they are just thoughts. Once you start believing that your thoughts are a normal way to behave and that your thoughts are not inherently harmful, you can shift your behaviour accordingly.

Now you can focus on building strong boundaries. Your boundaries will allow you to treat your brain in a healthy manner.
Positive thoughts are not a reason for you to behave in a negative way. With your boundaries, you will create positive relationships with your brain.

Speak up.

Give a voice to those feelings.
Whenever you’re feeling dissatisfied with life, try to figure out what’s bothering you. Take the time to process those feelings and explain them. You’ll be surprised to learn how many people can relate to what you’re feeling.

Express your feelings about what you’re going through. Take a walk to calm down and re-focus. Take a walk outside to be more aware of the world around you. Listen to calming music to quiet your thoughts. Meditation helps clear your head. Notice all the good things about your life. Think about all the good things in your life. Be grateful for what you have. The more grateful you are the less negative you can become.

Be More Mindful in a Virtual World

Summers are full of happy memories, but some years can leave you with a few scars. While we’re conscious of our children being constantly on the move, it’s easy for the busyness of modern life to erase all traces of our own happiness in the experience. Why not get back in touch with being mindful in the virtual world and reclaim some of those precious moments?

Say your piece.

There’s a lot of noise and negativity in the world right now, and it’s impossible to avoid everything. Instead of feeding negativity, try to combat it by speaking up for what you believe in.

Pick a cause.

When you feel exhausted, angry, or discouraged, make a conscious decision to try and surround yourself with positive people. Find others who share the same views and opinions you do.

Be a light.

When you’re feeling stuck in your mind, try to act as one of the positive people in the world. Be a beacon of hope, hope, and love. Give something positive back. Think of something good you can do for other people. Be generous and give others a reason to be happy and generous, too.

Listen.

Once you’ve figured out what you want to do in life, try listening to the people who have a different view. Listen carefully to what they’re saying. Listen to their stories and ask questions that allow you to find out more about who they are and what they want. If you listen to their opinions, their beliefs, and their thoughts, you’ll find that you can change yourself and make positive changes in your life.

Change the channel.

Turn on your favorite show and watch the fun, uplifting parts. Look at the fun and happy things in life and surround yourself with those. Turn your focus on the positive things in life and surround yourself with those that make you happy.

Be a seer.

If you’ve ever wondered if there was something you could do to make yourself feel better, try to become a seer. Take that information and use it. Look back at your life. Notice what changed in your life or what happened that allowed you to feel better. You can be a seer and look forward to a brighter future, or you can look back on your past and have regrets. The choice is yours.
