How to stop thinking negative about someone - by Dr. Kamal Khurana

Updated: May 11, 2023


The mind is an over smart thinking machine. Either you give the mind some task or it will start thinking on its own.


By the way, it happens to everyone, you are no different. There is good news - that if you understand this fact about the mind (that you must give it a direction to think, else it will start thinking on its own) and you can develop a habit to intentionally take control over the mind.

Let us learn more about the mind. The mind was given by nature to humans so that it can sense fear and find out away, as a reaction to the trigger of fear. This is quite a primitive trait present in almost all the other species as well. Humans are a little different in this. They learn ways to deal with life (which is called a defense mechanism or survival mechanism) in their growing years.


And everyone carries their survival mechanisms till they live. If these survival mechanisms are creating difficulty in someone's four areas of life - i.e career, relationships, health, social life, then it becomes important to make changes in the survival mechanisms. So if the thinking is becoming negative and is adversely impacting self or others, then following are few actions one needs to consciously & intentionally take.
