Do you have sticky thoughts that you cannot remove from your mind?
Do you have bothering thoughts that keep running nonstop in your mind, causing you pain, but you are unable to stop?
Everyone has sticky thoughts that come in without asking permission. They are repetitive and annoying, distracting the attention, and preventing us from focusing on our work, studies, or anything else.
Often, these sticky thoughts are associated with certain feelings, which keep repeating themselves.
If these adhesive thoughts and feelings are about unpleasant matters or unpleasant memories, they cause pain and suffering.
I am sure you would rather be without them. They waste your time, distract your attention, and keep you moving in circles instead of going forward.
They also prevent you from enjoying life and living in the present. They keep your attention either dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. You are never here.
In this situation, you are hurting yourself. You are not in control of your life. You are letting your thoughts control your life, feelings and attitude.
- Painful memories that keep repeating themselves and causing suffering.
- Replays of past events and situations in your mind.
- Asking yourself questions, such as, “why did it happen?”, “why me?”, “why did he say that?”, “What if…”.
- Thinking how would your life be if your past was different.
- Thoughts of anger, resentment or envy that keep you in their vicious circle.
- Feeling that you are victim, and being angry, because you believe that people are exploiting you.
- Thinking over and again about something someone said to you or about you.
- Just meaningless thoughts that keep repeating themselves.
These kinds of thoughts go through everyone’s mind. This seems to be very common at any age.
Other kind of sticky, disturbing thoughts are thoughts associated with painful experiences that occurred in the distant or recent past, about being bullied, breaking up, bad treatment at work, bad shopping experience, a loss, disappointment or failure.
In all these situations, the thoughts run in your mind nonstop, like a bad movie running in a loop.
Though this is a most unpleasant experience, you keep living with it. It seems to be unbreakable habit. These nonstop thoughts destroy focus and confidence, distract the attention, and weaken efficiency.
