How to Instantly Destroy Negative Thoughts by Dian Winter - HTML preview

Become Consciously Aware

Promise yourself that you will become more consciously aware about what thoughts enter your head. Stop thinking such things as:

• I am the worst driver in the world
• I am going to mess up that presentation
• There is no way that he/she would want to go out with me
• I feel so ugly today
They are all negative thoughts.

Ask yourself if a particular thought will be beneficial or detrimental to you. Will it have a positive or a negative affect on your life?

Analyse each thought:
• Are you really the worst driver in the world?
• Will it really be so bad if you do mess up that presentation? Would the world end?

• How do you really know that he or she would not wantto go out with you? That is just what you think. You cannot read minds, so you don’t know the result.

• Define “ugly”. Just like beauty, ugly means different things to different people, and not only that, I bet some days you think you look ok.

Put things into perspective. Believe in yourself. Have faith in your ability.

I have no doubt that you will probably have read this type of stuff before, and you know that you really should brush negative thoughts from your head.

BUT…Do you really know how to do it?
Read on and learn this simple but very effective technique.
Right, here goes…
STOP a moment and think what your mind actually is.
What image do you get in your head when you think of your mind?
I assume, you brought up an image of your brain. Most people do.
A brain is an irregular shaped, highly complex organ which controls all sorts of bodily functions automatically.

However, unless you are familiar with the workings of your brain, most of us just accept that it is there and it does its stuff. Most of us don’t understand which parts of the brain control which parts of the body.

We understand that we have a subconscious and a conscious part of our brain, but don’t know whereabouts these parts are located. How could we? And because it is an irregular lumpy, bumpy organ, it would be hard to exactly locate where our subconscious and our conscious minds are hidden.

This makes it almost impossible to reject negative thoughts from your subconscious mind. It is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack – it takes too much effort and therefore the negative thought wins!
