How to Stop Intrusive Thoughts

[@taz_trader]

Thank you. I randomly got intrusive thoughts two days ago and I had been obsessing over them for those whole 2 days, it made me mentally exhausted and very fearful. This video helped me and I feel a lot better.

[@julieengholt8939]

I really liked your analogy of how would we talk to a child about this feelings. That's how we should be talking to ourselves. I'm going to try that. I can tell others , but struggle with my inner self thoughts. Thank you!!! Blessings to you for all you do!!

In this pandemic, you are a lighthouse that leads to a healthy mental life. Thank you so much and my best wishes for you.!!

I’m excited to hear your advice on how to stop/minimize intrusive thoughts! They pop up every now and then, and when they do I can’t seem to stop myself from thinking about them

[@juliakristinamah]

Let me know how using this way of dealing with them goes.

[@admirbarucija2018]

@@juliakristinamah I think it's very helpful, and I normally would reassure or comfort others when they go through situations like this, but I haven't been allowing myself that same care! Talking to ourselves like we would a child is a brilliant strategy, often when I get intrusive thoughts I jump to the worst possible conclusions, even if the issues I'm thinking about are not actually there yet.

I have one fearful, harming thought - not aimed at anybody - just a thought, when I go to bed. Ir seems stuck on the left side of my head. It's been happening for 3 years, ever since I lost my job. Sometimes I don't actually think it, but the shadow of it is there the minute I put my head on the pillow. I do a short meditation before sleep, and I can usually sleep 4 hours or so, but if I wake up, I can't really fall asleep completely. Today, after breakfast, I felt achy, and wanted to lie down. The minute I did, I felt the need to think the thought in order to rest, but if I did, I would so upset, I'd have to get up. So I tried to think of positive things, but the shadow of the thought did not allow me to fully rest.

[@chanuppuluri8726]

Beautiful. I don't always do this, but when I HAVE done this, I usually handle the issue with a level of calm and patience and stability that might even seem disproportionate to the issue at hand. It's good to know that this is a good technique. It's honestly good to know that being comforting AND honest with oneself don't exclude each other and don't have to lead to shame.

[@galeokibby2617]

Thanks for this. I have shared this with my granddaughter. I hope that she will find it helpful. Thank you.

Dude, your videos are so spot on and true. I've watched so many of your videos so far and each one was eye opening to say the least. It amazes me how this information is not taught to children or adults in our cultures. Especially here in the states. Your videos encapsulate what it means to live a healthy mental life. I'm so glad to have found you on a random KZbin search and I'm also thankful for you to have pursued this life purpose of yours. You're helping so many people. Me especially. Please don't ever stop what you're doing. Peace.

[@joyoverley5259]

ThanQ Julia, great content always. May I share a nugget, when a negative untrue message enters my thoughts: A. 5 seconds to remove before roots are established B. My spoken or sung words uses a higher part of my brain and I can't intentionally think on what I am singing and the other thought run around in my mind. C. have a go to scripture, song or something uplifting and directing of thoughts. My go to is Philippians 4:8 What so ever thing are Honest (I intentionally think on how I love each of these as I am speaking them OUT LOUD, but quietly.) What so ever things are: ~ True ~ Just ~ Pure ~ Lovely ~ Honorable ~. . . ~ THINK on THESE THINGS. I continue saying it until I have moved away from the untrue assaulting thought. This was HUGE in creating healthy thoughts. I hope this helps many the way it has helped me for 16 years.

Thanks a ton for this one! Often I don't have a problem with helping out my friends when they're going through some intrusive thoughts or such issues. However, I often find myself being freaked out when I have any intrusive thought, and then it goes haywire like crazy! I think that's because something called 'lizard-brain' part of the anatomy is playing its role to only keep us safe.

FEAR! I can only say this! the worst thing to do when afraid is pretending you’re not. I have spent the last twenty two years fighting with the worst form of fear, and all alone. And wasn’t fear of diseases or even death! In the contrary it was fear of everything! A very strange and uncontrollable fear of existence itself .and I instinctively did what you are recommending! It doesn’t work in the long run it makes it worse rather. telling your self that you are not afraid when you are , it’s like feeding the beast that is out to get you. Try and be honest , run towards it, look at it, seat with it if you can! You’ll find that it will burn itself out. Honesty with yourself is the key 🔑 trust me...

[@nottobecompared4099]

Wow. Pretty much sums up how I’m feeling now but I can’t stay like this. I’m fighting each day & just trying to stay grateful for what I do have. Life is a gift & tomorrow isn’t promised to nobody. Hope you’re doing better now but I do understand what you mean.

[@orangepakova2507]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It happens to me quite often, and this technique really helps me calm down! Many blessings!

[@VideoCesar07]

Thanks. I have no problem being able to help others deal with intrusive thoughts by walking them through their fears and rationalize why they are thinking what they think and how it may or may not be in their control or that since there is no evidence to support or debunk what they feel that there is no reason to really worry until that evidence arises. Me on the other hand, I will hang on to my intrusive thought and run with it. Sometimes it will only take a couple of hours to back of from that ledge and other times it can take days to get past it. Definitely one of my more self-destructive behaviors since I am aware that I am acting on zero evidence but I will dive in to the deep end.

I get intrusive memories, if that's even a term. I remember something. I re-live the emotions of the time, and it's usually either anger or embarrassment. Quite often my mind makes up a story of how I wish I had reacted. It happens mostly when I'm trying to sleep, and I lose sleep.

[@victoriastallard]

As always thank you so much Julia for teaching us about things like this because I do struggle with intrusive thoughts every day & I am really trying so hard to learn how to stop them & watching & listening to this video is going to help me to learn how to do this with myself because I know that with a small child I wouldn't over react instead I would be calm and talk to them calmly about the situation so now I know it's what I need to do with myself and I appreciate you so much for helping us all with this ❤️ I always look forward to listening to you & learning from you 😊

Karma, Assertiveness is very important to succeed in life. Avoid being passive or aggressive. Never say "Yes" when you mean "No". Join some public speaking courses. No assertiveness training is needed but practice in your daily life. Walk with your shoulders held high and give good eye contact to everyone. Never compare yourself with others in terms of appearance or finances. Quality of friends is more important than quantity. Public speaking courses vell benefit you. 10 minutes of daily mindfullness meditation will keep you relaxed. . Best wishes. Shyaaam sir--Consellor.

My intrusive thoughts are different to what you are describing, they are not specifically events that i am worried about, they are racist, ableeist, xenophobic etc, they are a result of a year of OCD thinking caused by meth use and the resultant psychosis and paranoia, I cannot deal with people being in my head and i'm having a destructive and bizarre reaction. I also have a problem with contstant sub-vocalization and I feel like I am constantly on stage, this is a bizarre trap that I am seriously struggling with. I cannot think or even read or type without everyone around me hearing it.

[@erikarefined]

Great video! Thank you!

[@ucdcrush]

What about the idea of a "secondary disturbance"? I.e, what's troubling the person is not the actual thought (they might recognize instantly that it's irrational, far-fetched, etc.) but that troubling thoughts keep popping into their head, and they would prefer to not have them. Would you suggest they repeat this technique of addressing the thought rationally every time it comes up? Or at a certain point aren't they better off recognizing simply that they are having the intrusive thought again, and not spend extra mental energy rehearsing and repeating that it's irrational? It's the idea that what you resist persists.. which seems to fit with the idea of mindfulness and acceptance, but not as much with the idea of deconstructing an irrational intrusive thought each time it pops into one's head. That seems like more resistance.

i have a bad intrusive thoughts that i really hate and it made me so anxious like hell and keeps popping up on my mind for no reason but i am able to just kind of block it everyday and i pray but all i do is let it pops up like a notification in cellphones i notice once i dont let it piss me off it kind of goes away i feel like its just bullying me for no reason its been a week now. was there any recommendations on why is this happening to me

[@nottobecompared4099]

Exactly.

[@christopherpape4823]

yoo i have more of the former all the time. like i could do this thing, right now. what if i did? it can be kind of terrifying.

[@captaindan1000]

My last intrusive thought came to me when I ate the wrong thing. A few too many spicy jalapeno peppers. I thought the fiery pain in my stomach was never going to go away. How's that for a bad spot? Nothing like your brain and your belly being on fire at the same time. "AAAH! Caramba! Muy caliente! Fuego! Fuego!"

[@sohelshaik2744]

It makes me trust less on me

[@petergarcia7627]

I usually try to push them away but I don’t think that helps

[@mitchelllombard3789]

It doesn't. It just makes it worse because you're then fighting the thoughts and that will make you more scared of them coming back.

@@mitchelllombard3789 ​ If negative thoughts affect your internal physical health visit a psychologist. Heal yourself with determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. For more healing enter the following on google search “528 Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”” and listen for 5-10 minutes before sleep. Repeat softly in the mind. You will get relief quickly. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
