MANY random thoughts race through our brains every single moment of the day. Some of these thoughts make sense but most make no sense at all.

| Control your negative thoughts |
A few thoughts are reflections perhaps about what we did and what we could have done better, or contemplations and reflections about some word or sentence we heard or picked up somewhere - maybe it was a movie we saw.
This is good for us because it expands our mind and horizon, opening up new avenues of creative thoughts and ideas.
But here lies the danger - most of our thoughts are plain stupid, useless and senseless, negative and, therefore, they are self-destructive and self-sabotaging thoughts.
It is these negative thoughts that keep us enslaved in a world of negativity, blocking our way from moving freely forward to a happier space of being.
Some lucky people have actually managed to cross over this invisible barrier to stop being slaves to their thoughts and have managed to gain control over their negative thinking patterns enough to eliminate them.
They have managed to escape from the prison of negative thinking and its misery. How is that possible you may ask? How did they manage to do that? I can't do that, or can I really stop my negative thoughts?
The answer is. 'Yes, you can!' Believe it or not yes you can! There's a little technique involved and some work to do in the process of course.
But first you need to recognize the fact that you are a slave to your negative inner thoughts. You need to have the genuine desire to put an end to your life of negativity.
Make the decision, invest some time, willpower and effort, and be persistent until you have succeeded.
Keep on trying again and again, and before you know it your life will be taking a different course to a path of fun, laughter and abundance in every way that you can imagine.
Here are a few hints to help you on your way. The rest is up to you.
* Stop feeling irritated about anything or anyone. Stop complaining about anything and everything. Nothing is more boring than people who constantly complain.
Nothing is more boring than to be with people who find fault with every situation and with everybody. From now on you accept people as they are and you take things in your stride whether you like or not.
Remember you might be doing things to irritate or upset other people too. Would you like it if they were mean or rude to you? No you wouldn't you would be hurt.
So try to keep that in mind. The world does not evolve around you. Instead, try to fit in and to contribute good vibes wherever you go. You're here to make the world a better place whenever and wherever you can.
* Stop surrounding yourself with negative people who know nothing else but to complain about everything. If you can't remove them from your life and you are forced to spend time with them, then try this approach.
Every time they open their mouth, smile and say something positive. For example, how marvelous the weather is, how much you enjoyed a movie you saw, how lovely the flowers are
What a good time you had with your family, or partner, how much you enjoyed the program on TV the night before, or a walk in the forest.
Anything, no matter, talk about the wonderful, the marvelous, enjoying, fun stuff and laugh... do not allow yourself to be sucked into their negative drama.
These people are polluting the air with their negative energy. Interrupt them. Ignore what they say. You'll be helping them by not listening to them.
* Surround yourself with positive happy people who love life and who love themselves. They tend to appreciate the fact that they are alive.
They are the ones who spread good energy around them and you want some of that good energy so you can spread it around yourself.
* Do not watch the news or read about the daily catastrophes in the world. Of course you can read the headlines, take note of that to keep up with the general news of the day.
But you don't need to read or know about or listen to the bad details. You can find plenty of news on line about happy happenings all over the world.
A lot of that is going on that mainstream media do not show you. Ignore all the ones who bring bad tidings.
Follow the ones who bring you good news of good people, creative people, people who contribute to the welfare of the human family.
* Make a habit to watch yourself. Analyze yourself, pay attention, be conscious of what you are thinking about mostly, of your words and what you speak about. Be conscious of your actions and behavior.
This will bring home to you clearly what you are all about and if you see negativity in yourself then you know you have to change that and you know what to do.
* Whatever you find out about yourself accept it. Accept yourself as you are negative or positive or both, and love yourself anyway.
Once you have accepted yourself as you are and you like yourself as you are - the good and the bad - you are ready for the change that you wish to see in yourself.
* The thing is, you need to become aware of who you are and what you are, to take notice and to pay attention to yourself.
You need to love yourself, to have self-confidence. You need to like yourself and who you are. Only then are you able to like and appreciate others.
* Fill your mind - from the moment you wake up in the morning until the last moment before you fall asleep - with positive thoughts and affirmations.
Feel these emotionally, feel that you are loved with passion, feel the passion in everything you do. Feel and feel and feel again, that you are alive.
It's a privilege so enjoy being alive and be grateful that you can experience life.
Let me explain why affirmations are important and necessary to help you cultivate the energy of being positive.
In life there is no vacuum you see - a glass half full with water has the other half that's supposedly empty filled with air! If you want the air to disappear you fill the glass with more water right to the top.
Imagine the same principle in your brain/mind. It's either full of rubbish or with good stuff. Surround yourself with rubbish, the input is rubbish, the output is rubbish! Cruel but true!
That's exactly how it is. So in order to push the negative thoughts out, fill your brain, cram your brain with positive input/affirmations - so full that it leaves no room for the negative.
I'll list some affirmations for you at the end of this article but you can also make up your own, as long as it's positive input.
And just so you understand me correctly, the positive input can come from any good source, good intelligent positive friends, acquaintances, movies, books, TV programs, music, nature, all outside of yourself.
You do this until you soak in so much of the good and the positive that you, your inner self, will change inwardly to be genuinely a positive and happy person, happy with yourself and happy with the world.
That's called inner peace.
Too many people walk around laughing and pretending to be happy, who are positive on the outside, tell jokes and so forth.
But it's fake because on the inside they are plagued with negativity through their inner thoughts and feelings of hate, resentment, jealousy and low self-esteem.
Needless to say this is a perfect prescription for serious illness and disease to follow.
You want to not only push the negative thoughts away but to really clear your whole system, your heart, your emotional body and your aura - everything about you inside and out needs to be positive.
In other words, full of light that leaves no room for darkness at all.
Here are the affirmations you could repeat to yourself. Remember you can also make up your own according to your own needs.
You repeat one or more the whole time quietly in your mind. Any time you catch a negative, useless thought, affirm again and again.
Affirmations:
I am a happy person
I am full of light
I like myself
I love myself
I love life
I love everyone and everyone loves me
I am content
I am at ease with myself and with others
I enjoy my life
I surround myself with white light
I am genuinely friendly and kind
I am a compassionate person
I feel good about myself and my life
Everything is as it should be
I live in the present moment
I am free of all bad karma
I am the creator of my life
I am responsible for my moods, my thoughts and my feelings.
I wish to be happy
I choose to be a happy person
Note: To be also practical remember that we all have bad days or moments when something happens that really upsets us.
Of course, we can't and we shouldn't deny that. The way to go is to accept that as it is, but don't let it take you over.
Analyze the situation, reflect on it, accept it and either change it if you can, or move on. What I'm saying is use your common sense. Be kind to yourself.
