I just heard someone talk about how to shift your mindset for better health. I think it’s Law of Attraction stuff. They said “you become your thoughts”. That triggered me because my thoughts are the very opposite of me. Has anyone else heard this saying before?
no I have not heard of that at all tho that is totally not true you don’t become your thoughts you are you. You be yourself and that’s all that matters to it:D
Hey, I listen to Abraham Hicks, Louise Hay and other people who speak about the law of attraction. This question has bugged me too. Things that you read about are geared towards the general population, and doesn’t take into consideration OCD, anxiety or other mental health issues that tend to turn our thoughts against us. If you read a law of attraction book for OCD I’m sure it would be written differently to accommodate that :) hope this helps
I think the right way to look at this is, “you become your intentions”. I know what you’re probably thinking, that if your thoughts are “bad” and someone online says you “become your thoughts” then that’s proof that you are “bad”. Which is very far from the truth, and is very black and white thinking. Only through intention then action do you really become something. You don’t see a bunch of millionaire kids running around because they dreamt they had money
It’s your actions that make you who you are. The human conscious is wild
@Anna. Oh. Didn’t realize. My bad
Hello, Everyone. My situation got worse when I got to know about The Secret book by Rhonda Bryne. The book mentions that positive thinking attracts positive things in life and negative attracts negative. Every OCD mind is filled with negative thoughts. It means that the negative thoughts will become true because we are keep thinking about them.
Does anyone else feel that OCD can be defeated with mindset adjustment ? It’s pretty clear that I suffer from negative thoughts and have severe self doubt and uncertainty. It’s like I don’t even know my own identity. Over the past few days I’ve become more confident in myself by not caring what others think of me. The effects on my mood were very unusual but much appreciated. It’s almost like we can teach our brains new thought patterns. Anyone feel the same or heard stories of similar value?
So ist just about ocd, I think I have a really bad anxiety right now about this topic. So i used to believe that i cant control my mind and i have to accept every thought but deep down it made me feel like a victim that i always have to accept how i feel and what i think, theres no other way... one day i had enough of this, because i saw that others who are doing this for years are still having the same thoughts, and i still felt bad and had the same thoughts to and i decided that i will find something else. So i found a good youtuve channel where they teach you that youre the creator of your emotions and you can control your mind. I learned that i have anxiety and low moods cause i have negative beliefs about myself and the world which i need to change then these feelings will not be strong. It helped so much and i saw that its better then just observing it and moving on, bc you actually see the problem and not avoid it. It helped me alot. Then today i had a negative emotions and i started to see what im telling myself, what thoughts i have, and this time i actually got lost in my mind. Or as others said i got into the rabbit hole of negative thinking. And i couldnt get out and i was so desperate that this isnt helping me either... Trying to control your mind and change beliefs just makes me more stressed, but just accepting it and moving on still will not help,cause i will still will have the thoughts and emotions without knowing why i constantly have it. What do yall think, are you the creater of your emotions, can you control the mind or not?
