THE NATURAL HISTORY OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
In medicine, we study the natural history of disease. After we understand the natural course of a disease, we can figure out if treatments are worthwhile.
Many disorders are self-limited; they go away on their own if you ignore them and let them run their course.
Often it’s hard to know whether a medication has a positive effect when the natural history of a disease is spontaneous recovery. Many medications only shorten the course of a disease that would go away on its own.
After studying the natural history of negative thinking for more than fifty years, I know negative thinking doesn’t get better on its own. Spontaneous recovery isn’t part of its natural history; it only becomes worse when left untreated.
Negative thoughts always generate more negative thoughts. The more negative thoughts you think, the faster they come, and the more rapidly they accumulate into a mountain of toxic waste. Once they are in your mind, they don’t go away until you do something about them.
This natural history means that the only appropriate response to a negative thought is positive action.
Negative thoughts are a call to positive action.
If positive action isn’t your immediate and unequivocal response, you will sink in a quagmire of negativity.
Positive action is the pivot on which your life turns.
Negativity will never expand massively into your life if you take positive action.
Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, it’s an automatic signal that tells you to immediately take positive action to eliminate it.
