JOYCICLE 654 Posted March 8, 2016 Not sure if this will make sense and I'm definitely NOT suggesting we stop coming here to ' share our problems' . I just thought this was a very interesting article . '' Not only do repeated negative thoughts make it easier to think yet more negative thoughts, they also make it more likely that negative thoughts will occur to you just randomly walking down the street. ''' Think about this with regards to intrusive thinking and how easy it is for all of us to jump to that very anxious thought even when we are trying very hard to have calm thoughts. It's fascinating stuff and I hope it helps someone. http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/complaining-rewires-your-brain-for-negativity-science-says.html 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catherine84 62 Posted March 8, 2016 Oh it does make sense. It really does. And its so important to try and stop as much negative thinking as possible because that certainly doesn't help in any way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cassandra 44 Posted March 8, 2016 I think the same can be said for keeping stuff in, bottling it up. Release is needed, however repetitive complaining about the same things without taking action to fix them is detrimental. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
