How to Avoid Negative Thoughts ?



We all live in a hectic world, surrounded by people, workload and pressure. Sometimes the pressure to complete a work within a stipulated time period keeps bothering us. And, getting that thing out of mind isn’t easy either. It is quite hard to get the negative thoughts out of our mind. Repeated rehashing of negative thoughts in our mind can be very counterproductive and unpleasant for us. In some cases, it might also lead to chronic depression.
However, there are some steps using which we can control thinking about all the negative thoughts and focus more on the positive things of our life. What basically we need is some healthy dose of will power and a little bit of distraction.

 1. Go shopping in your mind.
Start visualizing yourself in the grocery store and picking up items you want. Picture yourself ordering items from one shelf in the store. Don’t go for food shopping, instead think about something else. You can try concentrating on books in the bookshelf, or ordering songs in a playlist or an album, for example. You don’t have to do it every day, maybe 30 seconds or a minute is enough. The key is to be disciplined about it and do at times when you feel negative thoughts coming across your mind. You can train your brain to take a different route every time such thoughts come up..

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...

Questions Are The Answer.............

They needed no reason. They came simply because he was of  Jewish descent. The Nazis stormed into his home, arresting him and his entire family. Soon they were herded like cattle, packed into a train, and then sent to a death camp n Krakow. His most disturbing nightmares could never have prepared him for seeing his family shot before his very eyes. How could he live through the horror of seeing his child's clothing on another because his son was now dead as the result of a "shower"? Somehow he continued. One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted an inescapable truth: if he stayed there even one more day, he would surely die. He made a decision that he must escape and that escape must happen immediately! He knew not how, he simply knew he must. For weeks he'd asked the other prisoners, "How can we escape this horrible place?" The answers he received seemed always to be the same. "Don't be a fool," they said, "the...

"This, too, shall pass,"

Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania did an intensive research on what creates learned helplessness. In his book Learned Optimism he reports on three specific patterns of beliefs that cause us to feel helpless and can destroy virtually every aspect of our lives. He calls these three categories permanence, pervasiveness, and personal. Many of our country's greatest achievers have succeeded in spite of running into huge problems and barriers. The difference between them and those who give up revolves around their beliefs about the permanence, or lack thereof, of their problems.  Achievers rarely, if ever, see a  problem as permanent, while those who fail, see even the smallest problems as permanent. Once you adopt the belief that there's nothing you can do to change something, simply because nothing you've  done up until now has changed it, you start to take a pernicious poison into your system. No matter what happens in your life, you've got ...
