 I personally sat down and wrote everything I believed to trigger my negativity and then did something about it for example I was surrounded by people who did no good to my thinking so I stayed away from them distract yourself watch a movie play a video game watch funny videos go on a hike do your favorite hobby or draw basically anything that entertains you I love Netflix and two-color while I listen to music the purpose of this is to quiet your mind for a while until you relax and are able to handle your thinking better find a trustful person it can be a friend partner pairing teacher or counselor anyone who is willing to listen to you and give you their point of view I personally have three trustful friends who I can tell what's on my mind and they will help me think more positively because they are seeing my situation from a different point of view exercise you may hear this all the time but honestly this has helped diminish my negative thoughts when you exercise you release endorphins which are chemicals that energize you and moderate your bad thoughts I go on a walk and jog early in the morning this boosts me to start my day with a positive mind daily journal I have a journal where I write anything positive I did during the day it doesn't matter if you had a bad day just find one thing for example eating a healthy meal the purpose of this is to train your mind to find positivity in the negative not only that but when you are down look at your journal and see how far you have come I sometimes even draw in my journal to help bring good thoughts self-talk using a mirror this one may be silly but thanks to it I have the confidence to overcome stressful thoughts I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself good things like I am beautiful or it will all be okay I find it powerful to look at myself in the eyes and have a good talk be aware of miss reading miss reading any situation could provoke negative thoughts for example if you call a friend and they haven't called back don't draw conclusions it could be that they are busy or simply not in the mood to talk at that time I learned this the hard way the majority of the time I created situations in my mind that were distorted don't apply your perspectives to someone else this one is very important each of us has different perspectives and ways of handling situations for example if you think why did they say that that's something I wouldn't have said you will only bring negativity into your thoughts so if you can change this you will be able to relax more well I hope these tips can help you as much as they've helped me keep in mind that you're thinking won't change quickly it will take time and discipline if you feel that your mental health is getting worse due to negative thoughts then maybe a counselor or therapist can help you as well happy thinking 

There are no subtractions and divisions in our mind, there is only addition and multiplication. ‘I will just remove negative thoughts and I will have positive thoughts,’ all the best, it's not going to work. It's just that you need to pay little attention as to how it functions. You will see there is a distinction between what is you and what you have gathered. Well, see the way the question is asked and also the way normally it's addressed is, people think there is something called as negative thought and positive thought. They want to remove the negative thoughts and have only positive thoughts. For such people, I would ask them to just experiment for ten, fifteen seconds. Let them forcefully remove one thought from their mind. For example, next ten seconds, just don't think of a monkey. Try not to think of a monkey for next ten seconds – you will see, you will be full of monkeys.

So, what I am saying is, this is the nature of your mind, because in this mind, all the three pedals are throttle – there is no brake, there is no clutch – whatever you touch, it will only go faster. In this kind of mind, people have been taught from moral teachers and religious teachers, “Do not think about bad things.” Well, since then, it's been a full-time job. So, there is no way you can handle the mind like this, this doesn't need any great enlightenment. If you spend two minutes with your eyes closed, you will realize, you cannot do anything forcefully with this mind. So, ‘I want to remove negative thoughts,’ do not ever go in this direction, because what you want to remove will become your quality, always you will be on it. “So, what should I do?” The thing is this – without understanding the fundamental mechanism of this mind, because our mind, human mind is the most sophet… sophisticated computer on the planet. Even all the supercomputers have come out of this. When this is the case, is it not important that we understand the mechanics of how it functions? One simplistic aspect of how it functions is – there are no subtractions and divisions in our mind, there is only addition and multiplication.

 If you try to do something with it, it will say, “One more.” If you try hard, it will multiply into many more. In this mind, you don't try to identify what is positive, what is negative and try to remove it. First of all, one needs to understand, this mind of yours, this body of yours is supposed to serve you. The life that you are is important. Body and mind are vehicles that must serve us. If you sit in a vehicle, it must go (Laughs), where you want to go. If it goes to its own destination, what is the point of such a vehicle? It's just a nuisance. Right now, most human beings are unfortunately, experiencing this fantastic possibility of human mind as a nuisance, as a troublesome thing. Well, this is the most beautiful thing you have. It's just that you need to pay little attention as to how it functions. One simple thing is this – first and foremost process is… that's why we put out this process called ‘Isha Kriya.’ This is to distance yourself from your physiological and psychological process. There is something called as, “You” which exists. This is not a composite of all your thoughts and emotions and physiological processes. Beyond that, there is you.

 If you close your eyes, even if you cannot see anything, you're still there. It is through the window of your eyes that you are looking out, but if you close your eyes, it doesn't mean that you don't exist, you still exist. So, beyond your thought you still exist, beyond your emotion you still exist, so that you, the life that you are, this has to come into your experience. Why is it that you're not allowing that to come into your experience, which is the most significant aspect of who you are? Who you are right now, the most significant aspect is – you and me are alive right now, this is it. ‘What I'm thinking, what you're thinking’ is not the important thing. We are alive right now, that is the important thing. So, it is important that you focus on this fundamental sense of aliveness within you, and then you will see there is a natural distance between you and your thought process. Once there is a distance between your psychological process and your physiological process, this is the end of suffering. Because there are only two kinds of suffering that human beings go through – physical suffering and mental suffering. Once you create a little space between you and your mind, between you and your body, this is the end of suffering. This is something every human being has to experience and know, otherwise thinking, “I will just remove negative thoughts and I will have positive thoughts,” all the best, it's not going to work. One hundred percent it’s not going to work, because nobody can remove it, they can avoid it for some time. So, when negative thoughts come, you say, “Ram, Ram, Shiva, Shiva,” whatever you want, but this is just avoiding, it's not gone. The moment you stop that, it will pop back with great force, otherwise it will come back in your dreams. So, it's very important. First of all, you need to understand – your anger, your resentment, your fear, your anxieties, the negativity that you generate; generally resentment, anger, it is always directed towards somebody. 

But we need to understand this is poisons that we are drinking and expecting somebody else to die. Fortunately, life doesn't work like that. If I drink poison, I die. If I drink poison, you don't die. So, we need to understand this. When I say, “Poison” – today, you can have yourself chemically analyzed. Right now, ‘what is your blood work?’ What it says, five minutes of intense anger, check your blood work and see, there will be lots of negative elements in it. Literally, you're poisoning yourself. So, do you want to poison yourself? Definitely not. Now the very question is coming from certain helplessness, ‘What shall I do?’ Don't do anything. Just sit back and just concern yourself with something which is the life process, maybe your heartbeat, maybe your breath, maybe just the sensation of being alive. Depending upon how sensitive or how perceptive you are, accordingly, find something, it could be a sensation in the body, it could be breath, it could be heartbeat, it could be anything, something which indicates life to you. Just pay attention to that for some time. Slowly, you will see there is a distinction between what is you and what you have gathered, which includes both your physiological and psychological possibility or mess, whatever you’ve made out of it.
