Swami Vivekanand-How To Stop Negative Thoughts




"How do I stop my negative thoughts?" - is a question that I have been
asked many times. If you have ever asked this question then you will
feel such enormous relief in knowing the answer, because it is so
simple. How do you stop negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!
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 is 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 to 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 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 utterly transformed into all good. If you spend only one day
speaking of good things and saying "Thank you" at every single
opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking
good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good
thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will
transform those seeds into a garden of paradise. How will the garden
of paradise appear? As your life!

Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be; if you think yourselves impure, impure you will be; if you think yourselves pure, pure you will be. This teaches us not to think ourselves as weak, but as strong, omnipotent, omniscient. - Swami Vivekananda

You must retain great strength in your mind and words. "I am low, I am low"--repeating these ideas in the mind, man belittles and degrades himself. - Swami Vivekananda
