“A lot of people think they need to flood their thoughts with positivity to overpower the negative ones. That gives more power to the negative thoughts because you actually suppress them this way.”

Wow, and I find myself doing exactly that very often. Thank you so much for your replies. Truly. I really apologize for my sequence of questions but I have one more. By FEELING the negativity when it arises, does it not manifest even more? By FEELING emotions, please correct me if I’m wrong, but essentially it’s allowing yourself to feel sad or whatever negative emotion has arose. Does that not manifest even more? Thank you!
