ZERO TOLERANCE TO NEGATIVE THINKING



TAKING BACK CONTROL OF YOUR MIND

If you want to get better and stay better, you need to go all the way in the treatment of your problem.  Recognizing and rejecting your cognitive distortions isn't enough.  You must advance to the next level and develop a whole new way of thinking and feeling.

Although it's important to recognize and reject your twisted and distorted thoughts, it's even more important to learn how to transform your life by putting positive thoughts into your mind.  You need to have a positive operating system up and running all the time, and you need power.

After you have the insight and knowledge to deal with your problem, you need power to make the trip to a positive destination.

The most powerful force in the universe is God's love, and the most positive force in the universe is also God's love.  It has more than enough power to take you from where you are to where you want to be.  You are not alone in this battle.  God is on your side, and will give you the power to have a consistently positive mind.  God's love not only points you in the right direction; it also gives you the power to make the trip.

You decide whether negative thinking and depression will control your life.  You can make your life as positive as you want it to be.  If you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.



THE LAND OF DEPRESSION

Welcome to the Land of Depression where backward thinking rules.  In fact, backward thinking is the law of the land, and you actually believe that you are what you  feel.  You don't focus on the facts of life.  Instead, you focus on your feelings.  If  you want to know how you are doing, you look at your feelings rather than at the facts.  In the Land of Depression, facts don't matter; it's feelings that count.  And if the facts contradict your feelings, then you go with your feelings and ignore the facts.

Although backward thinking is your passport to the Land of Depression, it's the quagmire of twisted thinking that holds you there.  If you become skilled at backward thinking and fully master all the techniques of twisted thinking you can stay in the Land of Depression forever.

THE LAWS OF THE LAND OF DEPRESSION

When you live in the Land of Depression, you must live by its laws.  The laws are simple to understand and follow.  Anyone can do it without special training. 

The First Law of Backward Thinking states, "I am what I feel."

The Second Law of Backward Thinking states, "My emotions must be real because they feel so real."

The Third Law of Backward Thinking states, "My twisted thoughts and emotions are a fair and objective assessment of who I am and of the world in which I live."

If you buy into all these laws and allow them to rule your life, depression and mood disorders will become your constant companions.  They will control your life.  Closely examine these laws and discover whether backward thinking controls your destiny.

THE FIRST LAW OF BACKWARD THINKING

The First Law of Backward Thinking states that I am what I feel.

People living in the Land of Depression believe that they are what they feel.  Distorted and twisted emotions rule their lives.  Although this makes them miserable, that is the price they pay to live in the Land of Depression.

If you believe that you are what you feel, you are thinking backward.  Your emotions are supposed to be the result of your thoughts.  First you think a thought, and then an emotion happens in response to that thought.  Thoughts should come first.

In the Land of Depression, people believe that thoughts don't come first.  Feelings come first, and they rule.  When depressed people wake up in the morning, they aren't interested in the facts.  What they want to know is their feelings.  They check out how they feel, and that sets the tone for the entire day.  If their first emotions are negative and depressing, it starts a cascade of negative and depressing thoughts that follow them all day long.

People living in the Land of Depression begin their day with the question, "How do I feel?"  Then, they spend the rest of the day answering that question.  They are experts at making their thoughts consistent with the way that they feel.  They are good at thinking backwards, because they do it most of the time.
