Overcoming Paranoia – Think on these things.

Why does What we think about regularly matter to our Mental Health?

In these stressful times it is absolutely essential to spend some time meditating on positive material. This does not mean that we are recommending repeating Pseudo-Mantras for Meditation over and over again to obtain a stupefied state of mind.

The Song ‘Paranoid’ by Black Sabbath illustrates this,

“People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy”

The problem is obviously related to what type of adverse things are we thinking about all day long. Unless we deliberately divert our minds attention to positive solutions to our problems, we will be naturally drawn to dwell on our issues and personal dramas. This habit of focusing on potential negative outcomes is what is causing the anxiety that we feel. Of course, to change this mental habit is easier said than done.

In the next part of this Series we will discuss how to change what we are thinking about to positive outcomes for our problems and dramas, which will then make us Happy.
