View Full Version : Negative Thoughts
Hey everyone,
I was just wondering how everyone 'deals' with negative thoughts. Its something in which I dont' worry about but sometimes I get days where I feel i'm in more control of my thoughts and others in which there seems to be negative vibe running through my head that I cant seem to stop surfacing. Is anyone else feeling this today? Yesterday I felt fine, good energy and a good feeling all day but today I feel really not with it.
A bit of my background if you may, I live in the North-East of Scotland (Aberdeen) and have some of the most amazing friends in the world, one of which has been with me through-out my journey in changing my perspectives and he is also a member of these forums. :) He also lives with me and we are current looking for a new place to stay. I quite like change so most of the time I have been looking forward to this no end, but this city gets me down. Too many ghost and people I know. I have some really amazing people round about me, some that agree with my new outlook, some who don't. See, thats what really confuses me, the people who don't agree with me, or rather, don't see from my point of view, generally don't argue with me and accept me for who I am. On this account I consider myself quite 'lucky' as I know alot of you guys have had a much harder time than I.
When I first found out about this info I was a jumping bundle of joy, so glad to have found it, and , although this hasn't changed, i just feel a bit of dip. Is it natural to feel this way?
Sorry for the mega-long post, guess i just needed to get it out there...
Love and Peace,

It's really weird because everyone is reporting feeling shit and negative, I think it's just this month's energies. I'm sure it's for the better good. As for controlling them, sometimes you can't and you just have to sit back and observe what your thinking and pass the day out, you'll be better the next day to look at what you were thinking and learn to get over it.
Meditation is great too. Helps you reset your negative thoughts. Although, some days.....some days....
Love you and hope you get better.

Yeah, I just read another thread along the same lines. I definitely Feel a negativity this month. Also, I mentioned on here before, I work in an industrial estate and a couple of weeks ago noticed (for the first time when I've been working here for 3 years) 2 mobile phone masts just round the corner from where I work. Yesterday I noticed them and reminded myself they were there and theat they might have a negative influence and I had a prety good day, today I didn't think of them till about 15mins ago and I haven't been feeling myself, until about 5 mins ago.
As for controlling them, I probably worded that wrong, its more to do with the balance. I usually manage to have negative thoughts and balance them with the positive side. But been struggling with that today and recently in general. Kinda get 'bogged down' with the negative, almost making the positive dissappear for a day, not good. But feeling a bit better now man. Thanks for your post. :) Love you too brother.
Love and peace,

I've been feeling very down the last few days, so tired and sad with allot of events in my life, I was starting to wonder if it was all worth it, everything is a battle:( I know the shit weather in the UK isn't helping, but there is more at work here.........
I have managed to pick myself up a bit, reading Bringers of the Dawn.:)

You right, definitely more to work here. And everything is a battle, I believe life should be like a bed of roses. Usually a pleasant experience with a couple of thorns chucked in to keep us on our toes. :) Otherwise, it would make the whole thing very pointless, why would we live a life without tests? But, through-out these tests is should be easy for us to keep a perspective on things, in this 'system' within which we operate, however, it can be a struggle and a grind. Proof to me that it doesn't work, like we need proof though. suicide, murder, hunger, war. I'm so glad the white man came with his great ideas...sorry little rant there.
Lightbeing, it is all worth it my friend. Much love to you,
Love and Peace,

Yes, I've been feeling bad the last few days, but not bad enough to stop being positive. Have to keep chugging on. Out of the bad comes the good, wait and you'll see. :)

Hello tron.
My 2c:
Being low or depressed normally has to do with the situation or lifestyle, that something is wrong, you are or are not doing something that you should be doing or wish to do (normally = not meaning tragedies which require grieving, or biological reasons etc). Right? It's nothing to do with alien rays from Zeta Reticuli. Or it could be, but it's highly unusual. Or you could just have run out of whacky baccy. Signals of feeling low is like a pain in the foot, there is a problem with the foot, and our head[quarter]/mission control is letting us know we should pay attention to the foot for a bit to help it get better. Take that pebble out of the shoe. Pain is therefore not only negative, it is aiding us as a warning system. The built-in bodyguard.
Everything has many sides to it. Both positive and negative. Stepping back and gaining perspective, or taking a break from it, recharges the ability to see things from a fresh perspective.
Through the telly-altar worshipped since the 1950s Hollyweird has programmed people to believe it is a human right to be happy all the time. Which of course is totally unrealistic and would drive people nuts in the end. We need challenges to grow and build some stamina and self-confidence and self-respect. Why do people climb rocks?
Things are often 'negative' when we perceive them as unexpected and not of our choice. Not ready for it, not being in control of our surroundings. A bit of practise can build a tolerance for surprises and influences, and can also be seen as opportunities to live in the moment. Staying centered is not something solitary confinement can teach, only being 'out there' and being exposed to situations attempting to get us un-centered.
Saying No, is that negative?
Technically, it is.
In reality, saying No can have a very positive outcome.
It is all relative.

Hi Lifeofbrian, Thanks for that. I kinda was trying to get that point accross, that everything is a test, to build us up, and the system doesn't look at it like that. We are made to belive that happiness is be all and end all, however, like you said, its not. Its the experience that is the most important thing, I think that is what you are trying to articulate, and if so, you did it much better than me. ;) It was more just a point that I've been struggling recently to keep this perspective in mind, just certain days, not all the time. Thanks for your words friends. :)
Love and peace,
Cx

i think for me when i feel abit down or fearful whats a good thing to do is just sit down, accept it and let it be there. when you accept it although its hard sometimes, you might be struggleing but your not struggling to be not struggling. if you get what i mean. its like if your scared/fearful, dont be scared about behing scared. its sometimes not easy though.
try not to reject apart of you, that you dont like. i havent got to the stage, but i think it would be good if you could be somewhere, and if you felt upset, let yourself be upset, if you feel embarresed let yourself feel it. we get embarressed about behing embarressed. like no-body every feels like it and it should be tabo. when it shouldnt. if we can we should be who we are at this moment.
but we cant reveal our true selves can we?, were if we feel weak we let ourselves be it?. :rolleyes: .
but i know what your saying mate sometimes i walk the street and feel i could just cry over anything, im embarressed to do it though, because like most other people, get embarressed about behing embarressed.
whos getting upset and like that though?. why do *I* feel like that?, is it a problem with me or a problem with the world?. its ok though.
