DEALING WITH A NEGATIVE STATE OF MIND
The five negative states of mind are important to recognize
After you can recognize and understand them, you are able to deal with them.
You won't exaggerate the significance of the negativity associated with fatigue. Instead you will do the sensible thing and rest.
When you hear the negative warnings found in the overloaded state, you will adjust your lifestyle so you don't experience a mental breakdown.
Finally if you suffer from a significant mood disorder or from clinical depression, you will seek the help of a physician who can initiate treatment that has a high probability of restoring a positive state of mind.
A commonsense approach often makes it easier to deal with a negative state of mind. When you find yourself in a negative state, stop what you are doing and remind yourself of nine things.
1. Never trust a tired and overloaded mind.
2. Negative thoughts are your mind's way of saying stop.
3. Rest is your mind's way of regaining perspective.
4. Sleep cures a tired mind.
5. Adjusting your lifestyle cures an overloaded mind.
6. Never make any major life changing decisions while in a negative state.
7. If you have habitually negative thoughts not improved by rest, relaxation, and sleep, you need to consider getting help from other people.
8. When you have lost command and control of your thoughts, and when twisted thinking and distorted emotions become your constant companions, it's time to seek professional help. You have a mood disorder that needs to be evaluated and treated by an experienced professional.
9. Suicidal thoughts are a true medical emergency and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. Immediate medical intervention is necessary.
Remember, if you want to have a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.
