Several ways to throw bad thoughts out of your head, learn to manage disappointment, and deal with toxic thinking. 1. Let's just wait and see what happens next. We often feel the need to react immediately to difficult situations or people, which can lead us to make some rash decisions. Psychologists advise instead to simply give yourself permission and time to wait and see what happens next.

2. Stop looking for someone to blame. Analyzing past events and trying to place blame on someone (including blaming yourself) are rarely a productive choice. Bad things and misunderstandings happen more often through a series of events, like a domino effect. No one is typically entirely responsible for the final outcome.

3. Regardless of what happened, the biggest problem we face is our own anger. Our anger creates a cloud of emotions that steers us away from a productive path. In this sense, our anger is indeed our biggest problem. A solution to managing one's anger could be meditation, a walk, physical exercises – anything that allows us to calm our anger before dealing with anyone else.

4. Don't try to understand what others are thinking. This is another piece of advice to clear bad thoughts from your mind. Ask yourself, if others tried to figure out what you think, or what your motives are, do you think they would be right? They probably wouldn't have the slightest idea of what's really going on in your head. So why try to figure out what others are thinking? Chances are very high that you will come to the wrong conclusion, which means a colossal waste of time.

5. Your thoughts are not facts. Do not treat them as if they are. In other words, do not believe everything you think. We experience our emotions, anxiety, tension, fear, and stress in our bodies. Our emotions manifest physically. We often perceive this as a sign that our thoughts are real facts. However, real reality and our thoughts about it are far from the same.

6. You Are Not a Wizard. When we reflect on past events, we often look for ways we could have done things differently to prevent a wrong decision, an argument, or a regrettable outcome. However, what happened yesterday is just as much in the past as what occurred a thousand or more years ago during the era of the Maya civilization. We cannot change what happened back then, and we cannot change what happened a week ago.

7. Forgive those who have hurt you, for your own sake. Don't be loyal to your suffering. Yes, it happened. Yes, it was terrible. But is that what defines you? Forgiveness is not something we do for another person. We forgive so we can live without the acute suffering that arises from looking at the past. In other words, forgive for your own self.

8. Fill the space of your mind with other thoughts. Do this to throw away bad thoughts from your head. Psychologists teach that imagining powerful, vivid images helps us to stop inflammatory, stressful thoughts in our consciousness. Here is an image recommended by meditation teachers: Imagine that you are at the bottom of a deep blue ocean. Just watch how your thoughts move. Imagine that you are the deep, calm ocean.

Psychologists also recommend that when you can't stop thinking about someone who hurt or offended you, imagine sending them a beautiful sphere of white light. Place them in this sphere of light. Surround them with this light until your anger disappears. Try it, it really works and helps to banish bad thoughts from your head. Choose one or more of the described methods to break the cycle of toxic thinking and shatter the thought pattern that arises when you can't get bad thoughts out of your head.

Breakup doesn't mean falling out of love

Breaking up doesn't necessarily mean falling out of love. And falling out of love doesn't necessarily mean breaking up. One can lose feelings and still be together. Respect and value each other, but not love. And one can end the relationship, sever all ties, move to another city, to another country. But internally maintain a small, barely noticeable flame of love. Sometimes this flame burns until the very end...

Don't Miss Happiness

If in life you are fortunate enough to meet your person, don't let them go. You will recognize them among a thousand other faces. You will feel them. They will be similar to you, not outwardly, but with their inner world. They will feel familiar from the first second, from the first word. You'll feel like you've known each other your whole life. It will be easy with them, and you will complement and fulfill each other. You will understand that this person is your world, in which you feel warm and cozy. Don't let loved ones go.

True Happiness

Happiness is when everything you need is embodied in one person. Nowadays, it's a rarity to find someone with whom you not only want to spend your entire life, but to whom you wish to give your own. When you understand that this person is the one you can trust, with whom you can share all your worries, problems, and fears. When we feel truly happy not with those who make us better, but with those beside whom we can allow ourselves to be genuine, to be ourselves. When it’s pleasing just to wait, to listen, to watch... When simple hugs are something else...

The perfect woman is a woman who is content with life. A content woman has a wonderful character, an alluring smile, a tender gaze, a velvety voice, and overflowing sexuality... and an endless love for the man with whom she has become this way... Perfect!

This is Your Life

This is Your Life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit it. If you lack time, stop watching TV. If you’re looking for the Love of your life, stop. It will find you when you are doing things you love.

Life is Simple

Stop trying to analyze. Life cannot be analyzed. Life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, enjoy every bite. Open your mind, hands, and heart to the new. Open yourself to people. Remember that our differences unite us. Don't be afraid to ask. And don't be afraid to answer. Don't be afraid to share a dream. Travel. You might find yourself where you get lost. Many opportunities appear only once. Grab them. Life is the people on your path and what you create with them. So start creating. Life is very fast! It's high time to start.

Shifting Perspectives

Today in our social issues class, our professor picked up a black book and said, "This book is red." And we all were like, "No." He said, "Yes, red." And we again: "That's not true." He turned the book around, and its back cover was red. He said, "Don't tell someone they're wrong until you see the situation from their perspective."

Trust

Trust. Right now, it is so important and necessary to have someone nearby whom you can truly trust completely. But the thing is, we do not know what lies ahead, how life will turn out, and what surprises it will present us. Will this person walk with you through life until the end, offer a shoulder in tough times, always be there, support and delight you, or does fate have another cruel lesson in store? Sometimes it's very difficult to open your soul again after such failures. That's why you shouldn't blame yourself if, for example, you didn't fully guess whom you could trust and whom you couldn't, as this is a human factor that doesn't depend on you at all. Often, it is simply worth accepting this fact, no matter how hard it is, and moving on. Everything will fall into place and will be as it should be. Everything is for the best.

Sometimes in Life

Sometimes people search all their lives, and sometimes they find what they're looking for in a day… Sometimes we want to express everything that has been building up, and other times, to understand each other, we just need to stay silent together about so much… Sometimes we turn off all our phones just so no one can disturb us, and sometimes we sit, surrounded by phone receivers, unable to breathe and trembling with impatience, waiting for that one solitary call. Sometimes we wrap ourselves in blankets and still cannot get warm because, in reality, we're not cold outside but rather inside, in the heart.

It's Okay

It's normal if you thought it was all over, but here it comes back again. It's normal to fall apart even after you thought you had everything under control. You are not weak. Recovery is chaotic. And there are no time frames for it.

Accept Yourself

Accept yourself. Women spend their lives worrying about their weight, their figure, and so on. It's all pointless. There will come a time when you will laugh looking back at the trivialities that worried you in your youth. In youth, you should enjoy life and accept yourself as you are.
