Get Rid of Negative Thoughts

There are positive thoughts and negative thoughts. Positive thoughts are associated with experiences, encounters and situations that make us feel uplifted, happy and joyful. Negative thoughts are usually associated with circumstances, people and situations that leave us feeling drained, sad and heavy.

How can you reduce the effects of negative thoughts on your life?

There is a simple technique that helps a great deal. First, picture the negative thought, whether that is a memory of a situation, person or place. Picture it as vividly as possible. 

Once you have done that, drain it of all color. Every ounce of color draining completely away from that visualized reality, leaving it a completely colorless, black and white image.

Now shrink that black and white image, making it smaller and smaller, until you can barely make out any details at all. Once you have that image shrunk to its smallest size. Open your eyes, and let go of the experience.

It only takes a few times for this technique to yield amazing results, as it dramatically reduces the impact of the person, situation or experience you are reducing. Give it a try!
