How to Stop Negative Thoughts
10th August 2007
This morning I received an inspirational message from Rhonda Byrne, creator of the smash hit documentary, “The Secret”. I think the message is so simple, yet so incredibly powerful! As a deliberate creator, I have often caught myself saying…
- How do I stop negative thoughts?
- I want to stop thinking negative thoughts!
- I know these negative thoughts are attracting more of what I don’t want
In those very moments I am attracting more of what I don’t want towards me. By focussing upon what you do want, an abundance of it will soon flood into your life!
A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne,
Creator of The Secret“How do I stop my negative thoughts?” - is a question that I have been asked many times. If you have ever asked this question then you will feel such enormous relief in knowing the answer, because it is so simple. How do you stop negative thoughts? You plant good thoughts!
When you try to stop negative thoughts, you are focusing on what you don’t want - negative thoughts - and you will attract an abundance of them. They can never disappear if you are focused on them. The “stop” part is irrelevant - the negative thoughts are your focus. It doesn’t matter if you are trying to stop negative thoughts or control them or push them away, the result is the same. Your focus is on negative thoughts, and by the law of attraction you are inviting more of them to you.
The truth is always simple and it is always easy. To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts! Deliberately plant good thoughts! You plant good thoughts by making it a daily practice to appreciate all the things in your day. Appreciate your health, your car, your home, your family, your job, your friends, your surroundings, your meals, your pets, and the magnificent beauty of the day. Compliment, praise, and give thanks to all things. Every time you say “Thank you” it is a good thought! As you plant more and more good thoughts, the negative thoughts will be wiped out. Why? Because your focus is on good thoughts, and what you focus on you attract.
So don’t give any attention to negative thoughts. Don’t worry about them. If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.
The more good thoughts you can plant in a day, the faster your life will be utterly transformed into all good. If you spend only one day speaking of good things and saying “Thank you” at every single opportunity, you will not believe your tomorrow. Deliberately thinking good thoughts is exactly like planting seeds. As you think good thoughts you are planting good seeds inside you, and the Universe will transform those seeds into a garden of paradise. How will the garden of paradise appear? As your life!

I have used a similiar approach in the past regarding negative thinking, but it was more a failure for me than a success. Its only been recently that I was taught that my negative thoughts are signals from my inner self and my unconscience/subsconscience. They were the parts of me telling me they weren’t on board. These thoughts are a critical element to my success, ironically. But how does one come to work with and change negative thoughts into positive ones?
I was taught a process called Base Reframing. Simply said, it is a method that allows you to reprogram how you respond to the stimuli that trigger those negative feelings. The results are impressive, as I am able to move beyond things that used to block and prevent me from succeeding.
I have found this to be a far more effective method of dealing with negative thoughts.
