Focus on What You Do Want - How to Stop Dwelling on Things That You Don't Want
We all go through difficult times in our lives. Sometimes it feels like we’re taking one step forward and two steps back, or worse yet, we can’t seem to make any progress at all. If you’ve been feeling this way for a while, you might be stuck in what I like to call “The Loop of Doom.” This is the loop where you think about things that you don’t want on repeat and never focus on anything positive on purpose. This loop can be especially hard to break free from when the negative thoughts are coming from your mind about someone else or something that happened in the past.
The Loop of Doom
I’ve been there. I used to go through the loop of doom constantly when I was struggling with a relationship. One day, while going through the loop, I realized that I had unknowingly created this loop in my head by focusing on all the reasons we shouldn’t be together. This realization helped me break free from The Loop of Doom and start focusing on all the things we did have in common and how much fun we could have when we were both willing to work on our relationship. If you've been stuck in a loop for a while, check out these tips for breaking free from it!
How to Stop Dwelling on Things You Don't Want to Think About
It can be incredibly hard to break free from the loop of doom. You might find yourself dwelling on negative thoughts, or on things that happened in the past. It may seem futile, but it’s not! All you need to do is take a step back and look at your situation with an open mind.
This step is simple: Take a deep breath and think about what you’re really trying to achieve. If you’re trying to get away from negative thoughts, try accepting them instead. Let those thoughts sink into your mind and then release them from your body by taking a deep breath. Think about the positive things in your life that are making you happy and focus on those things instead of all the bad things happening around you.
Breaking the Loop of Doom
One way to break the loop is by setting goals for yourself. This can be as simple as writing a list of things you want to accomplish in the next week, month, or year. It doesn’t have to be anything big or difficult, it just needs to be something that you would like to accomplish and remember about when you’re feeling stuck in your head. The second way to break the loop is by focusing on something positive that happened in the past and remembering how far you have come from your situation now. For example, if you are still struggling with debt from when you were younger, try thinking back on how far you have come since then and focus on what makes your current situation better than your previous one.
Your Mind is a Powerful Tool - Use it Wisely
If you’re feeling stuck, the first step in moving past the loop is to stop focusing on the positive. Your mind can be a powerful tool and sometimes it can start thinking negative thoughts about yourself or your life. It’s important to remember that your mind is not always going to think positive thoughts. You need to find a way to get some of those negative thoughts out so that you can focus on what you want for your future.
To break free from this loop, start with writing down all of the things you do want in your life at a moment in time. Now write down all of the things that are happening for you right now. Write down both of these lists and put them away for a few days or weeks. When you come back to them, see which list has more items on it than before--the list of what's happening now or the list of things that you want.. If it's the former, then keep focusing on what's happening now because there are just as many good things happening right now as there were when you started this exercise in the first place. If it's not, then go back through and add anything else that's been missing from your list--these are opportunities
Focus on What You Do Want
The first step to breaking free from the loop of doom is to focus on what you do want. Identify the things that you do want and remember them. This can be as simple as recalling a recent conversation with a friend or colleague, or as complicated as replaying an uplifting movie scene in your head over and over again. Once you’ve identified what you want, set small goals that lead up to those things. These goals will help break the habit of negative thoughts so they don’t keep coming back.
Conclusion
If you're feeling stuck in "The Loop of Doom," the best thing to do is just try to focus on something positive for at least a few minutes each day. If you're having trouble doing this, try talking about it with someone close that you trust. Sometimes, it takes someone else's perspective to help us break free from this loop.
If all else fails and your negative thoughts are too strong, try using meditation. Meditation is a great method for keeping your mind focused on something positive even when the negative thoughts are coming so often that they seem like they're all you can think about. It's also been known to be helpful in reducing anxiety and depression!
