      Sorry you choked (that's awful) was that live TV ? They couldn't edit ? and YES... and Shame IS counterproductive and yet old school "Coaching methods" in general use shame as a motivator... (Not good.) lol... Eventually with experience you don't let these things eat you up IF you have an independent sense of self worth (perhaps.).

      I used to do this a lot and would suppress my negative thoughts until I read up on yin/yang. Now I look at negative and positive thoughts as being one thing that needs balance. Yin (black, negative) is stationary. It has a lot of substance, but isn't going to move or dissolve unless ying(white, positive) comes along and carries it away. So anytime I think of a negative thought, I will do something or think something positive to flush the negativity away. Now I embrace the negative when it shows because it can tell us a lot about us, but it needs positivity in order to be dealt with properly.

      @@jonathancunningham4159 I kinda liked what you wrote. I think sometimes you have to FEEL your feelings just to process stuff much more "Efficiently" so that these negative feelings don't become obstructive if you don't engage them head on and be avoidant. I.e. if you get triggered by stuff eventually one learns to process that quickly and move onto the positive, but not everyone is "Wired" that way. Everyone has had a moment in their life from public embarrassment / humiliation where you just want to curl up into the fetal position for three days in a dark corner. Eventually when you get older one learns to have a sense of humor and you have a more considered perspective on life. Especially if one is more practiced at whatever "Art" or endeavors one is engaged in. These "Moments" teach us valuable lessons. Depends what level of "Game" you are in (without necessarily bringing a level of perfectionism that is counter productive.).

      I think we have to be careful about defining negative thoughts/people. We all have times when we are going through immense suffering and need to authentically voice it and be supported as we work our way through it. Then again, there are people who can never be pleased, always in victim mode, and are gossipy/critical. Definitely avoid the last three.

      linda justice : so sorry to hear about that, Linda. What I try to do is to take things just one day at a time and then life feels more manageable for me. I also try to remember another of Julia's tips that works really well when I'm having circling negative/anxious thoughts : I use her "I don't" tip and I say t myself : "I don't let other people's false perception of me derail my life/day". And any other iterations of the "I don't" tip ...... "I don't let other people's pettiness stop me from enjoying my life". Also, recently I have been doing a Breath Cycle meditation that was created by a young British woman, Sian Clifford. She set up a non-profit called, Still Space & I believe there is a website where you can download a guided meditation. Alternatively, Sian has posted several videos about it on You Tube, in which she guides you through the principles of Breath Cycle meditation. I have been doing it over the last two weeks and I find it takes my brain to a different place and I just feel more positive and happy. Search for Still Space on You Tube & u should be able to find it. Finally, I have recently subscribed to The Chopra Well on You Tube - it's Deepak Chopra's channel & recently he has been talking about the meta-human and how our conscious minds do not make up the totality of who we are but that there is a space we don't go to that's in our subconscious / where we are at a point of "pure consciousness" - where there are no thoughts at all & we are just "being" and are connected to the global consciousness - that is, connected to all living beings ..... It's worth thinking about these things, because there could be a level of consciousness that we are not tapping into. ...... Well, I hope that last bit about pure consciousness has not put you off. ....(!) .... And I wish you well in your pursuit of finding happiness and joy. Best wishes, Andrea. (PS, I have also practised Transcendental Meditation for 23 years, which is very healing for any physical ailments and helps you to assimilate any anxieties that are bothering you. I learned it through the Transcendental Meditation Association, which was founded by Maharishi Mohesh Yogi) - they also have a website & have teachers all around the world. Best wishes ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Andrea

      I cannot just replace a negative thought with a positive one. That's like telling someone to smile whenever they feel down hoping they'll feel better just because they're smiling. It would be just a lie. You HAVE to believe it or you'll feel you're lying to yourself and the negative thoughts will come back again. I feel the only way to deal with it is looking for the root of those thoughts. Most of the time they are not even possible. Like, feeling no one loves you. Like.. Do you really think that's possible? that anybody in this world loves you or is it you sabotaging yourself? If so, why do you think you feel like no one loves you? Is it because of a low self esteem or why could that be? And so on, you can keep looking for the root of your negative thoughts until you find out if they are irrational or not. Of they are irrational, looking for what's making you think that way and make a effort to solve it. If they are not, same, make an effort to find the will for looking for a solution. Both of them requires a will for getting better. It's not easy. But it's a process we need so we can learn how to overcome those moments.

    Have been Gaslit by one of my children for about 21 years and it was horrible. I would let all the untrue accusations cause me to constantly criticize myself and finally about a year ago I started telling myself that I was not guilty or deserving of the accusations and lies and started researching the things that were being done to me. I now tell myself that I will not accept these thoughts any longer. I was and am a good mother to 3 children and 7 grandsons. I am worth something, I no longer let this child think for 1 minute that anything they say or do affects me, because that only gives them the power they need to continue gaslighting and then I get on with my day.

For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10 minutes or more. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. Positive affirmations for 5-10 minutes before sleep are also very effective to reduce negative thoughts. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

    I continuously criticize myself on trivial behavior, I must have hurt that guy saying this or that. But I'm learning to ask why and how, and : Is this negative thought useful?

    • @juliakristinamah

      Exactly! If you know you've hurt someone - apologize. If you're not sure, you can ask. If it's very unlikely, trust they will let you know if you have.

      I do the same: I am much better now but years ago I used to second guess myself after I had come home from a party (or any large gathering): did I hurt this person's feelings? did a speak too much? did I laugh too loud?? Thank you Julia! I will ask myself this question from now on!

    my negative thoughts made me feel like i’m not good enough for my boyfriend and i don’t deserve such a caring partner who’s willing to go through everything with me. and i ended up pushing him away because i think he will be happier with someone else. when all he wants to be with is me and only me.

    You hit the nail right on the head for me when you mentioned job interviews. I finnished a second college diploma almost a year ago and I’m trying to start a new career. Ive had several interviews but no luck landing a job yet. Every time I leave an interview I find my self thinking “oh, I should have said this” or “damn, why did I say that?”

    • @acdckiss100
      @acdckiss100 5 років тому

      Julia Kristina, I do try to learn something and better prepare myself for next time. But I also have learn to ignore that lingering voice that is there every time I don’t get a job that always asks “why? Was I not good enough?” Even though I know I am. I did amazingly well in school, going way beyond my own expectations. I do know I am capable.

    I have been struggling with career. I was planning on studying physician assistant. And I had to work in a medical field for clinical hours before that. And that is when covid happened. I worked through the worst of it. Lost 50 patients. Then I quit 3 months ago. I couldn't do it anymore. But I didn't start my PA degree. Every time I thought about it, I got panic attacks. I am reconsidering my whole life now. But it takes time, and I don't have a plan. And in my mind I have this negative talk about being a failure. And I think everyone else sees me as such. I am going to spend a month with my family soon, and I can only imagine all the negative comments that I will get.

    The issue? BUT then I realize
    This way of thinking Is so HARMFUL.
    I love the question "Is this thought helpful or harmful?
    Or this way of thinking helpful or harmful. Thanks for a quick way to stay on top of going into "worry".

    Hi ! My name is Amnay, I'm 24 and I'm struggling with a negative thought that came to my mind 4 months and half ago. I was watching an animate on UA-cam then suddenly I've been traumatized and scared by an event that I've heard from it. That negative moment and that negative emotion comes back to my mind pretty often. It goes away but it comes back and it just makes me loose my confidence and my motivation, delay work and plus it feels like my head is burning and hurting. I don't like to think about it and I regret that I watched the animate that night. What would you advice me to forget this traumatic event? Thank you :)
