Ask the Universe to ignore all negative thoughts.. im not implying that i want to be able to think negative i want to think positive always it make you feel great ... but we all have those days where the negative creeps in sometimes...

Couldnt we just say Universe ignore all negative thoughts ...that you only hear my positive thoughts???

would it work?

I try extremely hard to readjust my thoughts when im feeling down or when things are not manifesting the way i want or as fast as i want ..& at times i get frustrated

Just a thought

Hi Gerib38,

Interesting question and one i am not qualified to answer lol
I know the universe hears all our thoughts , positive and negative and doesn't listen to the Do not give me this. It brings you what your focus is on. So again if you are saying ignore my negative thoughts , the universe is just hearing/feeling negative thoughts. So i personally don't think that would work.
Just my opinion and i'm sure others with more understanding and incite than me will give a different opinion

well that i didnt think of ... what i do say is

as an affirmation
My positive thoughts are much stronger than my negative thoughts or I only think positive thoughts or my positive thoughts override my negative thoughts

maybe there is a better way

I have read it in a LOA book, too.
You can affirm that your positive thoughts are stronger than the negative ones.

to give you the simple answer. No.

you are human. negative thoughts are actually a defensive mechanism put in place to keep you out of harms way. i dont care if you go and find mr. happy who never lets any one see him upset, i can promise you he has negative thoughts. its not thinking thats the problem. its allowing the thought to take root and create emotion which in turn will create the negative subject, which in turn creates another negative thought and then you begin to fall into a cycle of negativity.
the biggest issue here. trying to get rid of them. being afraid of them and giving them that power. when you have them, accept them, thank yourself for trying to protect you and move on to something positive. the more you TRY to stop them, the more focus you are putting on them and in turn creating them. accept them and let them go. if you are finding your thoughts are over whelming you and you are getting severly depressed, please seek out professional medical advice. im not saying that in a rude way, but some times people do need a lil help due to chemistry imbalances and what not.
one of my favorite quotes: Do or do not, there is not try. think about that and how it applies here.

hope that helps some.

i can give you the advice to pray.... ask for strength, ask to help you to release that negativity and ask to help you to stay on the right path.

i did that today, cause i was tempted too, but now i feel better and i wont forget that i found this place and loa again because i prayed for help.

Actually, I think this can work BUT, it depends very much on your feelings. The universe seems to listen more strongly to your feelings than to whatever you actually say in words. SO, if you can say, "whenever I think negatively, the opposite will come true" (or something along those lines) and can believe that, and feel cheered and happy by the thought (ie, in effect let go of the negativity, because you've just told yourself that whatever you think is okay - if you think positive, you get what you want, and if you think negative, you get the opposite, so still get what you want

) then I think it can work.

I actually use that one myself sometimes, and it does seem to work.

It's like the affirmation, "no matter what happens, I will be okay" - it's simple but powerful.

Best wishes to you

Well i when i read the book the power and the secret ... I read "there are no limits" to what you can ask for ... i agree with the fact that we are human and sometimes negative thoughts get in the way and its about acknowledging them and letting them go... but some days are harder than others i have been saying that my positive are stronger than my negative and even in the book they say your thought dont take hold immedietly... so i quickly try to change them...to positive .. sometimes my mind depending on the day go go back and forth from positive to negative but i stop mysel and say positive affirmations and gratefuls ... its the only way i know

thats all you need to do. pretty soon it will become automatic. the thing is not to be afraid or worried about them. you are going to have them. its natural. they are there as a protection for you. the only problem is, we tend to focus on them and thats where the issue comes in. its like walking down a dark street youve never been down. your initial reaction may be that this isnt safe, you get a lil scared and worried. then you turn around and tell yourself it will be fine and start walking down the street. at that point you gave the positive thought power because your action was based on the positive thought. the more you do that down that street, the less you will have that bad feeling about it.

too much emphasis is put on thinking. there has to be some action. just thinking will not do anything. you can think about a million dollars all day. but if you take no action towards that then you will most likely not see a million dollars. feeling is an action as well. thus why you dont want to get wrapped in those negative thoughts. like the above example. if you would have walked away from the street and down another path, you just took an action based on a negative thought. and guess what, the more you repeat that process the more your fear will grow of walking down that street.

you cant avoid negative thoughts, you can avoid giving them your attention and energy. stop and think about how many thoughts you actually have in one day. if memory serves correct its around 60k. you dont even notice half of them. but the reason you will get overwhelmed with negative thoughts is because you are programmed to noticed them and recognize those thoughts. so your mind brings them to the front for you to see. the more you focus on your positive thoughts, and do what you are currently doing as far as immediatly replacing the bad thought with a positive thought, the more your mind will bring those forward.

i can promise you that even the biggest coaches on this stuff have them. they just have learned how to not give them power.

keep up the good work. it sounds like you are on the right track
