Framework For How To Stop Thinking
1. Realize thinking is the root of all suffering (understand the true nature of thinking).
Realize if you’re suffering, you’re thinking.
Realize the difference between thinking and thoughts.
Don’t try to find the root cause, thinking is the root cause.
2. Create a space for persisting negative thinking Allow them to be there and acknowledge them for what they are.
Understand that you are the sacred space that holds these feelings, but that you are not the feelings themselves.
Don’t be afraid to be alone with your thinking and have the courage to allow it to be in your consciousness.
Welcome it in and see that the thinking just wants to be acknowledged.
Realize that negative thoughts only have power over you if you believe in them.
Once you allow them to exist in your consciousness and don’t resist the feelings, you can then look beyond the feelings to see the truth behind it all.
Every feeling contains a seed of truth in it which will help you deepen your awareness and allow you to experience life more fully.
3. Once you acknowledge the thinking, allow it all to pass and allow yourself to just be without attaching to anything.
Naturally positive emotions will arise, like peace, love, and joy. Allow yourself to enjoy these emotions as they come up. If the negative feeling still persists, then go back to step one and repeat until you’ve been able to find some peace.
Potential Obstacles 1. Not wanting to let go of thinking because you think that it is what got you to where you are.
While this is true, you must realize that what got you here, won’t get you there. If you want to break the vicious cycle of suffering and the same self-destructive patterns repeating in your life, you’ll have to do something different. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result.
The real question is, do you want to be happy or not? If you understand that thinking is the root cause of all of your suffering and do not want to be unhappy any longer, then you will be able to make the leap of faith
into non-thinking.
2. Not enough faith In order for there to even be a possibility that there could be a life filled with joy, peace, and love every
single day, you must first believe that it is possible. One must also believe that they are part of something much bigger that is the life force that has been taking care of them this whole time (the Universe/God). Having faith in something much bigger than we are without being able to fully comprehend it with our finite minds is the only way we can surrender our manual efforts and experience total peace in our lives versus worrying
about everything.
3. Fear Fear is a completely normal emotion when it comes to trusting in the Universe, which is also the unknown.
Fear is an indication that something is very important to us, so this is a great sign. Everything we could ever want is on the other side of fear and deep down you know this is the truth. The test we must pass in order to obtain all we desire is fear itself. The way out is through and going deep within yourself to see and know that you will be okay no matter what. That this fear cannot and will not kill you, but if you do not confront it, it will take the life of all your dreams instead. Thinking is the root cause of fear. If you don’t think, there is no fear. Follow the framework for how to stop thinking to overcome the fear and experience what life can be like without limits.
