QUESTION:
Can you help
me with making negative associations with things? I even do it with objects. Every time I set
my glasses down for the night I think, I will be depressed and I will know when
I see these glasses in the morning that I am depressed.
My mind is trying to
find all kinds of ways to trick me into thinking this it seems. I just have to
keep believing it will get easier. I try to force the thought, I love my life,
or glasses are cool instead. thanks,
ANSWER:
Yes, you are on the right track. Any reference to a thought or to an
object that your brain makes should be immediately ignored, while you do just
as you said, think an uplifting thought instead.
Try this: Tell your brain it
can think any stupid thing it wants, but today you are going to live a good
life and think good thoughts and then get on with something. Notice any
negative thought or negative association, accept anything
negative completely and immediately and then, just as immediately, ignore
it. Feel the fear in yourself at these time, accept your fear completely and
get on with your day in a cheerful way,
Remember Roman Stoic Philisopher Seneca’s assertion, “…there is
no cheerfulness like the resolutions of a brave mind.
