Excerpt. Book #2. The Art of Positive Thinking

Chapter 1. Genuine Peace of Mind

Combine needless overthinking with any one of your cognitive distortions and this all becomes the mental clutter that clogs the minds’ positive thinking processes.  And these clogging events do the following:


• Generate more overthinking of negative issues creating negative thought patterns;


• Block the natural response powers of our positive energies to evict our negative thoughts and  


• Extend the residential lease on our negative thinking thought patterns so that the negative thoughts remain.


The worst of it all is that this ‘circus’ of negative thinking is passed on from generation to generation through traditions that allow the negativism to settle in and become part of our culture.  
Each day is an uphill battle fighting the inherited generational negatives and daily negatives being compounded.  

And you individually, may not be the one who is creating the negatives.  For certain it is the stimulus of our society teaching all of us to accept our negative thoughts as normal.  

Our cultural societies knowingly or unknowingly use our traditional celebrations as the hidden delivery vehicle for our blind acceptance of our most dangerous negatives:


• jealousy, 


• hate and

 
• deceit.

 
Without sufficient help and instruction we fall into allowing our negative thinking activity to become part of our daily lifestyle.
