Useful Methods

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.

Useful Techniques

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.

Useful Techniques

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.

Helpful Techniques

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.

Useful Techniques

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.

Useful Techniques

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.

Useful Techniques. 9. Send them your grace. 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.

Blindfolded

Why should you try it? You'll experience more intense sensations during sex than ever before. Touch, whispers, smells, and tastes are perceived much sharper under the blindfold than usual. When you can't see what your partner is going to do, every move becomes a surprise. All this excites to the limit and speeds up orgasm. Sex with a blindfold can be a cautious first step towards BDSM. Of course, this is only if both of you are open to trying this sexual practice. You won't need costumes for dressing up or any complicated preparation: a blindfold is enough to create a new game scenario. Let your partner change their voice or tone and play the role of a teacher or doctor. By allowing your eyes to be covered, you're showing trust. And this brings partners closer together.
