		<description>Hi Satish, have you followed the directions in the article? What I think you should do is stay at home and experience a person robbing you if that&#039;s what you&#039;re afraid of. 

Have a rubber band tied around your wrist. When you go through the thoughts that you&#039;re afraid of enough times, practice snapping the rubber band; and when you do, this will indicate that you need to stop thinking. You can do this through another way such as actually saying the word, &quot;Stop!&quot; However, I think a rubber band might be more effective for you. 

After you get good at clearing your mind, start doing the procedure again, but after you stop your thoughts, replace them with positive thoughts. I&#039;m not sure what you like to do, but it may be something like spending time laughing and sharing stories with your friends or walking with relatives in a peaceful hike in nature - whatever makes you happy. 

Once you get the hang out if doing these thought stopping experiences at home, then you need to actually test it out in public. Whenever you&#039;re in public and you get the thoughts of somebody robbing you, whether it&#039;s in the railway station or wherever, snap your rubber band and clear your thoughts. If you do this enough times, I think eventually you&#039;ll be able to train your mind to not having those thoughts anymore so you can replace them with more positive thoughts that make you happier.</description>

		<description>Hi  Hulbert ,

This is satish from India and iam a software engineer. Iam getting very bad unwanted thinkings which is very sevier. Kindly advice me to get rid of these thinkings and i hope these will not lead me to live a health and happy life.

Here are few listings of my thinking&#039;s i usually get.

1. I get thinking&#039;s like iam selling some property for some high valuable money and some one robs my money and iam committing suicide. In reality i don&#039;t have any property in my name so far. I don&#039;t know why iam getting this type of thinking&#039;s, but with the same concept the visual thinking&#039;s are becoming very different ( Something like one day i think of i carry some much of money hot cash in my bag and someone robs me in the railway station, Sometime after getting the money a huge breeze comes and my money flies and gets scatterd and huge crowd surrounded me to get the money. )

I really don&#039;t understand why iam visualize something which is not going to help me in my life in any point of view and will these thinking&#039;s turn reality in my life. 

I would be really be great full to you give me any powerful solution to remove all these unwanted thinking&#039;s and turn them to positive thinking&#039;s.

Awaiting for your response.

Regards,

Satish</description>

		<description>Hey
Loved your switching to good thoughts method. You are really doing an inspiring job here. However, when one is thinking negative thoughts it feels hardest, illogical and absurd to think positive thoughts. Imagine one is crying and I tell them to laugh (they will slap me instead).

The thing that works here is finding a better feeling thought (not the best thought on the list).

Feeling Fear/Depression? Find anger. Feeling anger? Find revenge. Feeling revenge? Find frustration. Feeling frustrate? Find Pessimism. Feeling pessimist? Find hope and up the way you go. In fact the moment we find hope it takes not much time to reach all the way up to joy, gratitude, love and  appreciation.

Cheers.</description>

		<description>Hi Walter, you&#039;re right. It&#039;s something that requires a lot of focus and discipline; otherwise, we will be unaware of the thoughts slipping in. I&#039;m glad you&#039;re at least trying. Eventually, you&#039;ll get better and better at it. :)</description>

		<description>I think the basic first step in overcoming obsessive thoughts is to not resist them.  To not view them as something dangerous or harmful or even personal.  To gain detachment.  They&#039;re just thoughts after all, not events, not actions.   After a while, they lose their power to upset, disturb, and one can even start to enjoy them.</description>

		<description>The methods you have shared here are effective yet it will need focus and discipline for its mastery. To tell you the truth, I have been applying your principles here in my everyday life. If have had many slips-up and there are many instances that I want to call it off. But I&#039;m aware that its part of my growth, so despite the difficulty, I try my best. Nothing will happen if we confine ourselves to our comfort zone. :-)</description>

		<description>Interesting post, Hulbert. When I&#039;m in a gloomy mood, I find that consistently telling jokes to the people around me usually catapults my positive energy and optimism.</description>
