Pujya Gurudevshri explains that if the mind is filled with negative thoughts, expecting positive emotions like love, compassion, or friendship is difficult. To experience such emotions, one must work on the thoughts that create them. He suggests taking a... few minutes to write down the thoughts that arise about a person, situation, or event, and later returning to assess them. Through this process, one recognises the burden of negative thoughts. By analysing them and identifying their root cause, one begins to realise the need to change one’s attitude and perspective. Without such a shift, the same thoughts continue to persist. Practice this and observe how freeing the mind from negative thoughts allows love and compassion to arise naturally.show more

Negative thoughts really cloud our ability to feel anything positive. It's a tough cycle to break.

Good message

Yeah, right. Learn to use a WC first, jeeet...

It's true that negativity clouds the mind. It makes it hard to embrace positive feelings and connections.

Who classified thoughts into good and bad?

Good and bad are not merely labels imposed by society, they are indicators of the direction in which a thought is taking us. We have the freedom to choose which thoughts to nourish. And in that context, “good” and “bad” become relative to the goal we seek. If one’s goal is inner purity, peace, and lasting happiness, then thoughts that breed anger, hatred, hurt, jealousy, or restlessness become “bad” — not because someone classified them so, but because they distance us from that state. And thoughts that lead us towards compassion, clarity, forgiveness, and inner stability become “good” because they elevate our consciousness and help us grow.

Love this, spot on! Any simple practices you swear by to shift those negative thoughts in day-to-day life?

Completely understand your question - there’s no shortcut to shifting negative thoughts! Pujya Gurudevshri has guided us beautifully on this. When we are in the middle of an emotional storm - anger, hurt, frustration and at that time, it is difficult for me to come in the present moment to analyse my thoughts … at that time, the first step is to calm the inner turbulence by changing the activity: go for a walk, listen to soothing music, sit quietly, take deep breaths, or simply step away from the trigger for a while ( if possible)  The idea is to bring oneself back to the present moment and regain inner balance. And then, once the mind is calmer, begin the process explained by Pujya Gurudevshri — observe the thoughts, understand the root cause behind them, and gradually bring a shift in attitude and perspective. That inner understanding creates lasting transformation.

Real talk

マインドがネガティブな思考で満たされている場合、愛や思いやり、友情のようなポジティブな感情を期待することは難しいとグルーデブシュリは説明します。そのような感情を経験するためには、それらを生み出す思考に取り組む必要があります。彼は、特定の人物や状況、出来事について思い浮かぶ思考を書き留める時間を数分取り、後でそれらを評価することを提案しています。 このプロセスを通じて、ネガティブな思考の重荷に気づくことができます。それらを分析し、その原因を特定することで、自分の態度や視点を変える必要性に気づき始めます。そのような変化がないと、同じような思考が続きます。ネガティブな思考から心を解放することによって、愛や思いやりが自然に湧き上がる様子を実践してみてください。

Negative thoughts really do cloud our ability to feel the good stuff. It's important to clear that mental space.

writing thoughts down hits different, actually shifts the vibe

Negative thoughts really shape our feelings. It’s tough to foster positivity when the mind is clouded.

Negative thoughts can weigh us down, impacting how we feel and connect with others. Acknowledging them is the first step.

Agree

This hits hard — gotta let go of the negative thoughts first to feel the peace ��✨

the gap between what we think and what we feel is real. stuck in negative loops because the mind keeps feeding itself the same thoughts over and over. breaking that cycle is the hard part though 🔄

Yeah…especially when frones hit your home…so hard

Very inspirational Thank you 😊

True, positive mindsets can change everything we see and feel about life

Journaling helps, but let’s be real—some negative thoughts need a punching bag first 😅

Negetive thoughts make physical changes in your body. The subconscious mind is a powerful force.
