Re: How do you stop thinking about negative/stressful things/bad memories/etc. ?

I’m usually pretty successful in switching my thoughts from negative to positive. The key is that I have to change my physical activity. If I’m doing one thing when the negative thoughts take over, I need to switch to a different task. That’s easy when I’m doing physical stuff but impossible if I’m stuck at a computer for work or school. I can at the very least stop my thoughts from getting darker by focusing on a happy memory or an upcoming happy thing or even a daydream.

I think it’s weird that a book would say it’s an unsuccessful tactic because it’s part of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in general is common in therapy and meditation techniques.

Yeah, that's what I've always heard, but this book's whole premise is "everything that's been done before is wrong, I know better" (I didn't get far enough to discover what this author thinks is better, and I'm not going to read the rest at this point). The clickbait of books, I guess.
