How to stop negative thoughts?

 

The question I have often been asked is "How do I stop my negative thoughts?"

 

The answer is unexpected – you cannot STOP negative thoughts; on the contrary, you will find that the more you try to STOP such thoughts, the appear with greater force.

 

The trick is to REPLACE negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

 

Try this simple exercise – can you think of a negative and a positive thought simultaneously?  

 

You cannot – only one of them can exist at a time!

 

Thus, plant good and positive thoughts; when your mind is filled with them, negative thoughts cannot appear.

 

If one of them does appear, instantly REPLACE it with another positive thought.  Do it everyday, all the time, consciously with complete awareness and you will find it becomes a habit.  The barrage of negative thoughts start diminishing rapidly.

 

When you try to STOP negative thoughts, you are focusing on what you don't want - negative thoughts - and you will attract an abundance of them. They can never disappear if you are focused on them. The STOP part becomes irrelevant - the negative thoughts are your focus.

 

It doesn't matter if you are trying to stop negative thoughts or control them or push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more of them to you.

 

The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts! Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice. Appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets, and the magnificent beauty of the day.

 

Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things. Every time you say "Thank you" it is a good thought! As you plant more and more good thoughts, the negative thoughts will gradually be wiped out.

 

Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts, and what you focus on you attract. So don't give any attention to negative thoughts.

 

Don't worry about them. If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.

 

The more good thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be transformed.
