Hello, dear Steemians!
The human mind is a complicated organism that is often not obedient to our core values and ideals. Sometimes you have thoughts that do not represent the best of what you have to offer.
There are even thoughts that intrude your inner comfort zone at every given opportunity to take away your peace and give you destructive ideas about how you should make decisions in life.
How do we deal with such thoughts that are always there in spite of our lack of consent? How do we destroy intrusive thoughts forever?
Most people would choose the path of denial or ignorance. When you have a thought that is not pleasant or is not in alignment with your higher vision, you decide to ignore its very existence and lock it in the deepest corners of your mind.
Three direct problems arise with this approach. First of all, if you deny the existence of your own thoughts, you strip your own mentality of logical assessment and brand it with illegitimacy. Secondly, you do not actually destroy your intrusive thought, you merely lock it away in a corner of your mind.
Last but not least, a thought that remains with you in hatred and disdain will have all the necessary resources to grow inside your mind and become a true burden in the future.
Acknowledging that you have a certain thought is the first step towards dealing with it in a proper manner. If you let your intrusive thoughts fester, they will inevitably become a hammer that will throw you off balance in life.
If you are having a difficult time accepting that a thought is yours, try to understand the process through which a thought comes to existence.
It is easy to fall under the erroneous argument that every thought represents an inner dimension of the person who conceives them, but the truth is much more complicated than that.
Every thought is first an inspiration that comes from an outside source.
You should not blame yourself for having intrusive thoughts that may not even be yours.
So, the first step towards acknowledging your thoughts is to understand the origin of every thought that ever came into existence.
After that, you must realize that a single thought does not represent you in any way. You need to think about why that thought is haunting your moments and why you are always thinking about a particular thing.
Is it because you want to hurt yourself?
Is it because you have unfinished business with someone or something?
Is it because you feel shame, regret or worse, guilt?
There are many ways you can ask this question, and as hard as it might be to search for an answer, this is the only proper way to deal with your intrusive thoughts.
Think about why you are having a thought, and then think about why it actually bothers you. Running away will not solve anything. Have a conversation with yourself.
Most of our problems would just find solution if we were willing to have a conversation with ourselves.
At the end of the day, your thoughts do not represent who you are.
Rather, you are the one who has the power to give them a sense of identity and belonging.
A BIG HUG!
