Keep the door of your life open, open in the front, and open in the back.
Let your different thinking enter and let it also come out. 'Just don't serve them.
A lot of things are more annoying in life, but do you know what is more ANNOYING? The noise inside your head, a busy mind that doesn’t stop and won’t give you peace,
such a thought is tiring.
There are days when you think that day is perfect, you are happy with what you are doing; you have already felt the peaceful surroundings, but suddenly a negative thought will appear that you will just think about what you will do tomorrow if tomorrow you will still be happy, what else can you think of.
You suddenly forget the joy of the day because the noise in your head overwhelms you. When you are overwhelmed by meaningless mind noise and you have no idea how to stop it; it's tiring. I know!
It was the intense suffering inside my head that led me to go out alone and stay in nature.
By nature I released my negative mind, fortunately, I quickly discovered how I silenced my noisy mind and it wasn’t as hard as I thought, how did I do that?
I didn’t change the course of my mind and I didn’t adjust either. What did I do?
I let them in but I did not serve them until they came out voluntarily; for me, it is difficult if we force ourselves to get rid of negative thoughts.
It's easier when we accept it, it doesn't mean my life is perfect.
There are still days that are crazy, confusing, disgusting, and because of the intensity of the negative coming into my mind, but it’s not like it used to be because I’m in control of my mind.
So I want to share some facts that will hopefully help you achieve peace of mind
Here are 7 tips you can start applying to your life.
1. Accept the Noise Inside Your Head
We know that we are always thinking of different things every day so it is not surprising that it is so noisy.
Relatively calm people have a lot to think about. It is easy for us to judge that a person is silent and does not think about anything.
We all have hidden minds; so don't be surprised if your mind is busy, it's so noisy, and don't add more.
Don't think that there is something wrong with you, there is nothing wrong with you.
This is only natural because if you always hope to lose what you are thinking, you are also just wishing that all the grass will turn white.
Just let them out and come in, they will leave voluntarily if you don’t serve them.
2. Mental Interaction is Optional
If I choose something I have learned in life, the one thing that has the greatest impact on my peace, it is that mental interaction is optional.
Why is this my choice?
Because it is not our minds that cause us suffering; but our dealings with them.
Sometimes what we think is not true but we believe right away, we spend our time serving them we settle them inside us, we let them control us, we give them attention.
You need yourself but you just ignore it, you pay more attention to your negative thoughts.
Want to know how to silence them?
They will just be quiet if you don't put them in your head your life will be more peaceful.
Just sit down, and let your mind know what they will do, don’t get involved with them.
3. Distance Yourself
To get rid of your thoughts you need to distance yourself you need space to breathe, you need at least a little space between yourself and your mind.
After all, most of what we think is on autopilot, they just come spontaneously even if it doesn't hurt to steal your peace.
They will always play with your head.
Why? Because you are becoming HABIT. The key to breaking it down is to wake yourself up to know they are already there.
How do we wake ourselves up?
How can we take care of them instead of them taking control of us?
The first step is to Meditate.
Go to a quiet place and meditate there, when you do it you will find it easier to see what they are doing and it will be easier for you to get rid of them, don't go with them.
Because our mind has a path we do not want.
For example, they like to say "You're a useless person", don't follow what they say because that's not true if you believe that noise, you will LOSE.
4. Give Your Mind Freedom
This is all I want to tell you I know a lot of people are thinking negatively now.
The reason why your negative thinking gets stronger is that you are tying it up; you didn't give them freedom, like a bull if you don't want him to be angry with you don't tie him up, don't stop him from doing what he wants to do.
Just like your partner; don't stop him if he doesn't want to be angry with you, that's just a simple concept, isn't it?
But can't we do it ourselves? Why not give freedom to our minds? It will only develop and give birth and be harder to control.
The best way for you to feel calm is to give them a big open door so they can get out, don’t tie them down.
When you give them the freedom to make noise in your head, they will automatically come out of your head.
They will come out because they will run out of smoke.
Our thoughts do not cause chaos, they only cause chaos because we believe in what they dictate.
Every day they appear early in the consciousness you just stay where you are and just think that you don’t believe them; just walk forward and just let them in and out.
No problem!
It can only get in trouble if you try to tie them down by thinking you have something wrong in life that you don’t accept and you have a big problem in life, you see that!
You are the only one who created your suffering, let's repeat; let them roam freely in the wide-open field of your consciousness and they will quickly run out of smoke in your mind.
Don't touch them because you only make them stronger.
What if you’ve already done that, but they’re still there? Of course, they are still there, because it is natural in our personality, every day we think there are positive and negative things but what do we do?
Let us befriend them by giving them freedom, rather than forcing them to leave;
What if you think about sadness or your anger?
What will happen if you accept it rather than reject it?
5. Don't Take Your Thoughts Too Seriously
Why did I say that? Because you will always lose the battle.
You take your mind seriously but your mind does not take you seriously. Isn't that a major smack in the face?
I treat my thoughts lightly so my perspective has changed, even now I am giving you advice some negatives come into my mind.
"What if you don't agree?"
"What if you don't understand this?"
But I only allow one to enter my head
"I don't mind if no one agrees with my suggestion; this advice is just for the open heart to hear."
You're just that simple, aren't you? let’s not force ourselves into a negative situation because we will just lose.
Another example; you feel envy, fear, anger, and then you scold yourself for being like this.
Sometimes others have suicidal thoughts, you will get to that point because you believe or you are serious about the negative things your mind carries; you believe that there is something wrong with you that no one loves you, but honestly, that is not true; there is nothing wrong with you.
You don't make it up, do you? It just got into you and you just believe, that's the only problem you trust them, just like your partner, he made you believe that he loves you even though it's not true that you believe.
Until he gets to the point where he will destroy you.
That's how our minds are, they can be playful, if you watch the mind closely; you will notice that thoughts appear by themselves apparently out of nowhere.
This is the reason why I am always alone because it is easier for me to train my mind so that you can better understand what I am doing I will tell you this; while I am alone in this nature, I am surrounded by many trees and breathing fresh air, there I feel the flow of my thoughts most of them are negative, negative emotions flow in my consciousness but I just let them flow in my heart I have no right to bind them.
I just think not to take seriously what I hear from them, because what most people do is when negative thoughts flow to them they go to the center to block them to control the natural flow as if they are a filter of the mind that they accept one and they remove the other, but it doesn’t work that way.
Negative thoughts flood in more because you are blocking the flow, in the literal example.
You go to the middle of the river you block the flow, what will happen to you? You will be difficult, you will be burdened, you will just drift.
What if you just let the river flow?
You can hear the delicious sound of the water flowing, it's relaxing, isn't it? The right thing to do is just be an observer and have nothing else to do but just let it go.
The less involved you are in trying to control the flow the more PEACE you will experience.
6. Learn the Difference Between Natural Thinking and Intentional Thinking
Here you are confused, sometimes you also think that you are intentional if there are natural it is also intentional.
Although you can do nothing about the thoughts that appear in your head, intentional thinking is something else as well.
For example, you may think, "My partner seems to be getting colder", instead of it being natural in your mind but it will be a deliberate thought when you start thinking, "Surely he has someone else. likes "
"Am I ugly?"
"Am I not good enough for him yet?"
"What are my shortcomings?"
I did everything for him "
Those are the intentional thoughts that can ruin your life.
With just a natural thought in exchange for a lot of thought that you intended to hurt yourself even more, did you get my point?
This kind of negative thinking is the main cause of suffering for most and we can completely control it if we choose to control it.
Repeatedly thinking like this as if you are always thinking about the pains you are going through or maybe you are having a hard time carving out your future, all that pattern will create a miserable life and it is completely you can control when you notice these patterns stop right away.
Don't expand negative thoughts, they don't force you to expand them; they only gave you one but you are the only one who prolongs the situation, don't forget that you are still in charge focus on the present and your breathing.
Focus on where you are walking and on the fresh air in this world.
Unproductive thinking is often a habit and like most habits, you can destroy it.
7. Stay Grounded in the Present Moment
I love reading self-help books but when I read "The Power of the Present Moment" it had a huge impact on my life, I really applied it to myself and I also want you to apply it to your life, one of the main insights in mediation practice is that your awareness can only be in one place at a time, without multi-tasking in our consciousness.
If you are losing yourself if you are still thinking about your yesterday, and your future you will also not miss the beauty of your surroundings today.
Also, if you shift your attention to this day it will stop all you thinking, Why? Because you can only think of one thing right now.
When you are fully conscious in the here and now, the mind immediately quiets.
Jesus was right in Matthew 6:34,
"Don't think about the next day; the next day will have its own problems. Enough problems each day."
When Jesus said these words, he assured the audience that they would not have to worry too much about future problems and that it would be better for them to think only once a day.
Jesus doesn't mean that we shouldn't think about what will happen tomorrow or that we shouldn't plan for the future.
He just helps us not to worry too much about what might happen in the future, because we won't be happy and we won't. we can focus on what we need to do, we can't solve future problems if we solve them now and often, what we are having problems with doesn't happen or is not as bad as we think is happening.
In that sermon, Jesus explained that worrying too much does not make our life better or longer.
He also said that if we put God first in our lives we no longer need to worry too much about what will happen in the next few days.
God does not neglect plants and animals so He certainly will not neglect those who serve Him either.
Stop and activate your senses if you are alert enough to notice yourself slipping into habitual thought habits.
Just think about what is happening and notice what is different in your thinking, do not hesitate because the Bible itself says that we must live now.
Take back control from your busy mind. We don't have a bad mind, we will have a harder time if we don't think.
A human mind is an incredible tool, but it can also be deeply destructive.
The mind can be a good servant or a dangerous one.
It all depends on who is in charge so the next time different types of thoughts come in, remind them who the boss is.
Do not give them the strength to destroy you, give yourself the strength to crush them.
