Anyway, as a book suggested, each time I catch myself with a negative thought, I should replace it with a positive affirmation. I've been toying with "I'm a master of my thoughts", but I don't know if its specific enough. Is "I am free of negative thoughts" ok? Or is it still focusing on what i dont' want? |
definitely no to that affirmation. All phrases in it should be what you do want.
'My mind is clear and peaceful' or 'I have a clear and peaceful mind' works.
Also, besides from affirmations, you might want to target the issues that your mind seems to be working on, you can list them, and maybe rationally cancel them out, either by yourself or with a teacher or therapist.
Then you can use the blanket affirmation over it to keep your mind clear.
