Negative thoughts about your job, your family, your health, your future, sabotage your mind and overwhelm you with a lot of stress.
But think that every time you allow negative thoughts to dominate your mind it’s like giving them control of your own life.
Negative stimuli produce more nerve activity than equally strong stimuli. They are also getting easier and faster, experts say.
You should also keep in mind that every time negative thoughts invade your mind, the time and energy you spend on them is at the expense of the time you could do something to get out of the deadlock. If you don’t do something drastic to prevent it, negative thoughts will increase and intensify. This means that you will lose your hope and your positive energy and you will only see problems, failures etc. Expectedly the result will be that you will not try to improve your life.
The more a person’s thinking patterns become negative and focus on repeated negative reflection, the easier it is to automatically follow these patterns of thinking.
Set as a goal a good act daily!
This repetitive process can damage the neural structures that regulate emotions and memory.
How to prevent a negative thought
The best way to prevent negative thinking is to focus on positive thinking. There is no point in fighting negative thoughts because it means you focus on them. And if that happens, your negative thoughts will get stronger. The best thing to do is to focus on solutions, positive images and action.
Remember that your feelings and thoughts, actions and reactions are the mirror of your thoughts. This means that you have to be careful with what you think, because your thoughts program your subconscious and influence your behavior.
Also, remember that by thinking about what you don’t want, you are triggering the corresponding emotions and as a result, you can develop habits and behaviors that may bring about what you don’t want in your life.
Self-awareness, a non-critical awareness of our current experiences, is valuable for shifting negative thinking patterns and brain activity. A study published in the journal Cognitive Therapy and Research in 2014 found that taking a step back to observe thoughts and emotions as temporary and objective events in our minds can help reduce the effects of negative reflection on people with depression.
So you can change your thoughts from negative to positive. This may take some time and effort, but it is possible and you can do it.
