By stopping negative thinking, you can live a more successful, happier, more enjoyable, healthier life. Negative thinking inhibits you from getting what you want and achieving your goals. It makes you feel worse than you normally would, and it affects those around you. Negative thinking has absolutely no benefit to your life whatsoever, so why continue?
The less value your mind puts on negative thinking, the easier it will be for your subconscious to let go of negative thoughts. In other words, it is much better to not build up a great deal of fuss about negative thoughts. Don’t think “When I think negative thoughts they are hurting me, stopping me from being successful, and making me sicker. No wonder I feel sicker, it’s all these negative thoughts that have so much power over my life.” Your thoughts alone are giving value to negative thoughts. Negative value, to be sure, but value all the same.
Instead, let’s replace the word negative with the word neutral. Anything in your life, any emotion, and any thought that isn’t positive is neutral. Neutral thoughts have no benefit whatsoever, so why bother with them? Something with no value is easy to dismiss. In this way, you can motivate your mind to turn to something that does have value — in fact, great value: positive thoughts and emotions.
Don’t fear negative thoughts as fear is a negative emotion. Simply dismiss negativity as valueless. Focus on the positive, and the negative will diminish in time.
Hippocrates once wrote, “If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. It is only then that it will be possible to help him.” If you believe you are sick all the time, it is a given that you will be exactly that: sick all the time.
This is not to say that if you do have a very real illness that you should ignore it and “wish” that it will go away with positive thoughts. However, what you can do is to believe with all your being that your doctor is doing the right thing, that your medication is working like a charm and that you will heal completely in a very short time.
Mind over matter is very real and very powerful. Your mind has the power to make your “matter” sick and diseased. Learn to control and reduce the stress in your daily life. Learn to put things in perspective. So your spouse wants to paint the deck tan and you want to paint it brick. Is it really worth all the name calling and stress of arguing about it? Flip a coin and be done. Learn to be mindful of negative thoughts and attitudes. When we entertain negative thoughts and emotions, we are not only poisoning ourselves, but everyone around us.
