Negative Thoughts:
Can be said to be those thought processes that doesn't grow
us or has negativity in it,
It can also be said to be the thought process where people
tend to find the worse in everything, or reduce there expectation.
Can Negativity be found in our Thoughts:
Yes it can be found in our thoughts no matter how we tend to
present , shield it and also we can not even out run it because its meant to be
there that’s why we are humans not angels.
Instances:
i.
I just won a lottery. The worst part is that I cant
tell my family and friends because if I did, they’d all want some of the money.
ii.
Am well prepared for this job interview and I don’t
know if I will get qualified to keep the job.
iii.
I have read well for this exams hope I will
pass.
How can/do we shut it off?:
Shutting off negative thoughts is a very hard shell to
break, because I can say its part of our mental process(I stand to be
corrected) because the mind is just an open space were thoughts comes to play a
role either good or bad so I don’t think it can be shut out completely, but it
can be managed.
i.
Stop thinking in extremes.
ii.
Stop over-generalizing the negative.
iii.
Don’t minimize the positive.
iv.
Stop mind reading.
v.
Stop taking all the responsibilities.
vi.
Stop making stuffs up and believing it.
Does Negative thoughts
has/have Psychological issues attached to it? Does it affect our re-cognition/
mental processes?:
Yes it has lots than what we think! Intrusive thoughts are unwelcome, involuntary thoughts, images or unpleasant ideas that may become obsession, are upsetting or distressing, and can be difficult to be free of and manage. Such as (inappropriate aggressive thoughts, or blasphemous religious thoughts) and it finally ends in (OCD) obsessive-compulsive disorder or Depression and they may become paralyzing, anxiety-provoking, and finally persistent.
Instance:
When I thought I would never be a success in life that am
done for just because I had scars, I was so confused, dropped out of my
university after 200 level and still didn't find fitting in life, I lost my
self, pity was all over me, no reputation for myself, couldn't think straight
and tho I was intelligent people do make use of my abilities n talents, I always
think low of my self, generating a low-self esteem profile for myself, hid
myself from the competitive world, at the mercy of who cares to listen till I
became a student of psychology that was when I was able to see that negativity
is a thing of the mind.
Bottom line: change your thinking processes
and you will change you!
