Every morning when I wake up, I have unconscious negative thoughts.
As soon as you relax in your free time, your brain is like a wild horse out of control and starts thinking uncontrollably.
It feels like always dwelling on the reasons for the breakup after a breakup, knowing it's not necessary but not being able to stop.
Every once in a while I figure it out, and then the next day I hit back and fall into the same cycle.
I have been torturing myself for two years with this state of affairs, over and over again with self-enlightenment.
Dr. Teacher, what's wrong with my brain?
Hi owner, nice to talk to you.
I'm a whale social worker!
I especially wanted to give you a hug when I read your description, it's been a really hard two years for you! Being wrapped up in negative thinking feels like a stone in your heart right? Let's break it down from both brain science and psychology to see what the problem is.Brain science research has found:
Neurons have a characteristic: the more often they are stimulated, the more active the area is.
Just like a road that is traveled often becomes wider, negative thoughts are repeated so many times that the brain automatically turns on this pattern. That's why bad thoughts can't be stopped like a record on a loop -
Thinking inertia is too strong
.
2.
The whole brain works together when thinkingThat is to say, change thinking can not only rely on "do not think too much", need to mobilize the whole brain resources together to adjust. It's like repairing a computer, you can't just change one part, you have to test the whole thing.
Psychology, on the other hand, states that thinking, emotions, and behavior influence each other. 1.Negative thinking directly triggers negative emotions
Imagine feeling anxious, powerless and even fearful when surrounded by negative thoughts every day? These emotions stimulate the brain's amygdala to secrete stress hormones, and in the long run the whole person is hollowed out.
2.Negative thinking and emotions in turn lead to reduced mobility
For example, when you encounter a goal that requires effort, your brain defaults to "Forget it, it's not going to work". Life without new attempts is like being stuck in a maze, so it's no wonder you feel like you're "back to square one after you think about it".
The above is a simple compendium, and the vernacular has been used for ease of understanding. Welcome to continue to leave a message to interact with oh~ ❤ The world and I love you (whale social worker fairy fairy)
