How to deal with Confusing Thoughts


Everyone, at some point in their 
lives, is faced with confusing and disturbing thoughts, and many live oppressed by them, having their well-being and health compromised. What can be done about this?
In today's climate we are increasingly exposed to extremes of ideas and views and so many of them are contradictory, confusing and hard to deal with, while leaving many with stress and misery. In life we have to interact with others and technically no two people interpret and think about things the same way.


What is right? Who is right? What can you do when there are so many different ways of looking at something? Here are some recommendations for you to use to try to deal with and let go of thoughts of this type.

TIPS
  • Firstly, if the thought is causing you some distress, practice a relaxation method that works for you.
  • When you feel calmer, study the thought objectively, as though the thought was some remote object.
  • Aim to not get personally involved with the theme or subject.
  • Separate yourself from the confusing thoughts.
  • Some additional things you can do, consider, and use to resolve the confusion are as follows
If you can't just let go, change the thought process and introduce a new theme such as tolerance, or kindness to yourself, or a more proactive theme such as resolving to ask someone about the issue.

  1. The steps look easy and simply but we forget once the issues surface. I guess I have to try to be calm. That first step is the one that breaks the ice.
