You have to understand that God created us with a neutral mind. It is equal for us whether we have negative thoughts or positive. But we find that thinking negative is easy for us as compared to thinking positive. It is because of the way of thinking that we have been using since our childhood.
In this Article we understand the root cause of Negative thoughts.
Negative Thoughts as a Poison
You clean your room or your house everyday. And think that if you clean your room and then immediately someone throws garbage in your room. How do you feel?
You feel bad, because you like to live in a clean place and also when you look toward your clean room you feel happy.
This is for the room, but we forget to clean our brain from the garbage of these negative thoughts.
Negative thoughts like Anger, anxiety, greed, hatred and envy are like poison. And don't think that this poison affects others when you drink it. If you drink this poison then definitely this will harm you.
There is a lot of research and also you get a number of articles on Google where you read how negative thoughts bring neurological changes in our mind and also affect our body.
Cause of Negative thoughts
A lot of people try to change their thoughts but it was difficult for them. The reason is because they try to change the effect, not the cause. First you have to understand what are the causes/ reasons for your negative thoughts.
I will tell you two major causes of Negative thoughts.
1. Your Feelings
If you have feelings of Anxiety, envy, hatred toward others then this means you are showing a seed of negative thoughts in your mind. As a result your mind produces negative thoughts. On the other hand if you have feelings of love, sympathy and gratitude for others then you are showing the seeds of positive thoughts in your mind and as a result your mind produces positive thoughts.
2. Our Attachments
Let's understand this point with an Example.
A professor teaches his students a lesson and he holds a cup of tea in his hand. For some reason The cup fell and the tea spilled. Then the professor asked his students, What is the reason for spilling tea?
And then the professor told them that because there is tea inside the cup, if the tea is absent then the tea was not spilled. And among students some blame circumstances and find other reasons, but they skip the actual reason.
In the same way our mind produces negative thoughts because it is attached with them. If we attach our mind with God then it produces thoughts of God.
Therefore attach your mind with positive things.
It just a Thought
Do this with the Negative thoughts. Whenever negative thoughts come into your mind just ignore them by thinking just it is a thought. Because According to the ironic theory of thoughts If you are told that you have to forget this thing, then the more chances are increased that you will remember that thing.
And when a negative thought comes in our mind then we add our emotions and feelings to that thought. That's why we are attached more with those negative thoughts and more negative thoughts come into our mind.
But if we don't take them seriously and don't add our emotions and feelings then they don't create more negative thoughts.
