ZERO
TOLERANCE TO NEGATIVE THINKING |
DON'T STRAP YOURSELF INTO THE
ELECTRIC CHAIR OF DEPRESSION
Depression is your own personal torture chamber. You
strap yourself into the electric chair of depression and you
turn on the current.
Your negative thoughts create jolt after jolt of negative
emotion. Twisted and distorted thoughts burn themselves
like hot pokers into your mind. You take a licking, and
for a while, it seems like the watch of life stops ticking.
It seems like time has stopped and your depression will last
forever.
Days seem interminably long and nights seem like eternity.
Depressed people lay on their beds at night, and time stands
still. Each second seems like hours, and negative thoughts
and emotions fill those hours with despair.
It's no wonder that depressed people sometimes commit suicide.
They are trapped in a world that they hate, they torture
themselves with twisted thoughts and depressing emotions, their
misery seems to go on forever, and they see no way to escape.
ESCAPING FROM THE LAND OF
DEPRESSION
In order to escape from the Land of Depression, you must break
all three laws of backward thinking. This is one of the
few times you have the privilege of flouting the law. In
fact, breaking these laws is encouraged. There is no other
way to escape.
You must no longer
believe that you are what you feel. Instead, you turn the
law around and say that the facts of life determine the feelings
of life. You become an expert at ferreting out the facts
and making sure that your feelings are consistent with them.
If the feelings aren't right, you ignore your feelings and go
with the facts until your feelings change.
You must no longer believe that your emotions are correct just
because they feel so real. The intensity of the emotion
has nothing to do with whether the emotion reflects the way
things are in the world. Emotions are transient, and
therefore, they change. They no more reflect the facts of
life than shadows from the clouds in the sky control the sun
that creates them. The shadow of emotion must not control
your life.
You must no longer believe that your twisted and distorted
thoughts accurately reflect who you are or the world in which
you live. Twisted thinking is an anomaly of a
dysfunctional mind, and it has nothing to do with reality; it's
a distortion of reality. You must learn to distrust the
twisted thoughts echoing in your mind. You must put a name
on those thoughts and reject them for the imposters that they
are.
That's the job you have ahead of you. You must break the
laws that rule the Land of Depression. If you become good
at breaking those laws, you can say good-by to the negative and
depressing thoughts that have made your life into a nightmare.
EIGHT STEPS TO ERADICATE

There are eight steps that you can take to eradicate
depression.

positive operating system.
7. RADICALLY shift your focus
to the most positive and most powerful force in the universe,
God's love.

whenever you need to regain the high ground in the battle of the
mind.
