It’s not about turning off your intrusive thoughts, it’s about learning how to not attach emotions onto them and understanding that they are inevitable
True….😢but this concept still works though.. to observe the thought and figure out either it’s real or not, 99% the thought is of course fictitious and from our old belief system😊and also working with psychotherapist works a lot.
I started fasting and praying for deliverance from intrusive thoughts God delivered me from intrusive thoughts and is still doing so. Since I can't afford therapy as of now , I resort to fasting and prayer.I had never experienced such. I'm very mindful of what I watch and music I listen to. And what conversations I entertain. If you can afford, go to therapy if not, fast and pray , meditate. Avoid social media a little bit. Thank You.
It’s the rumination of regrets over past misdeeds and traumas etc….when you’re busy with tasks they are suppressed but still lurking- exercise and music together and separately are great therapies to alleviate these negative mind circuits. Journal your thoughts and read them after then reconcile the more persistent ones. Release the darkness and work on yourself one day at a time.
Thoughts is just wave on ocean... You're the oceans. It's just like clouds on the blue sky... You're the unlimited blue sky. You're not waves, nor clouds... Be a withnes.... Just withnessing what is come and go. The waves and clouds only appear and then go. Please don't try to suppress them into your subconscious mind..... Namaste.. peace..🌱🌻🙏
What works for me is 1) identify that it is an intrusive thought 2) let it float away 3) go on with my day If it happens again, don't feel bad about it. Just keep letting it pass and don't give it any fuel. If you find yourself ruminating, identify that you are ruminating and that you are not doing yourself any favors by ruminating. You can overcome this! Remember that you are not your thoughts and that our brain says a lot of stupid things sometimes.
The mind is the root cause of all suffering. We believe these thoughts to be real but it's all imaginations. Thoughts and all the negative narratives in our minds our basically the same as dreams.
Planned out affirmations. Accept the thoughts and not judge them and let them go. Lovingly release them because they are creations, maybe not yours but they came to you for this, to be released w/o judgement 🙏🙏🙏
I learned from a shaman these thoughts are of anyone’s creation but it’s trying to find the right person that can release it without judgement. This allows it to go back to the creator
I found the best way to get rid of them is the Prayer of the Heart aka as the Jesus Prayer. The Orthodox saints used to say it up to 12,000 times a day. Personally 300 times in the morning and evening works for me and has significantly reduced the intensity and frequency of some horrible intrusive thoughts. The prayer is “Lord Jesus Christ, Have Mercy On Me.” Try it out.
Some people who have too much or trauma that is so deep seeded it can do more harm than good to meditate. In turn can make those intrusive thoughts more intense.
The first thing I do is recognize I'm having unwanted intrusive thoughts. It gives me instant relief because I can relax knowing it isn't something I should engage with nor it's something I actualy believe. As those thoughts tend to appear when I'm stressed out, I try to find out what's actualy bothering me. I've realised intrusive thoughts, for me, are a type of scapism. My mind brings awful thoughts to cover something I don't want to face. Then, I see if I can face it at that moment. If it's too intense, I just recognize the trigger, comfort myself and state I'll deal with it when I calm down. Finding the root of the problem has helped me a lot and made me aware of my triggers so I can handle them to the best of my abilities.
They're almost always the worst thing i could do at the moment, usually being straight up crimes or involving making me and/or others die. It's pretty bad.
It takes immense strength to keep going, especially when things are tough. If you feel like you need additional support, there are organizations out there to help. A good place to start is crisistextline.org. 🙂
Wow I was suffering from this for a while and didn't know that it had a name. I started meditating and started to just relax more I really started feeling better mentally and physically. I haven't had any kind of intrusive thoughts in a while.
Knowing what triggers intrusive thoughts IMO is more important than to just " Sit and Meditate " know thy brain, its function and then you'll know how to fix it
Basically complex quantity of external transformation is impacting the thought process. Speech is being supressed with technology . Usage of each organ dispropotionally is leading to thoughts leading to various disorders.
Yup this is the only thing that freed me ❤ and it doesn’t take a lot of time people spend more time scrolling that reflecting that’s the real problem they buy into the myth that they don’t have enough time u can take 5 minutes before bed and when you wake up a huge difference
Someone send me the link to the research paper. I think this is way out of line. Intrusive thoughts are normal as long as you don’t take action. You are good!
An ADHD elder here... still searching... enrolled in a program now, not cheap, but I'm desperate for my life to make sense. I have no plan. Every day is improv. These thoughts are a burden. I've my methods to deal with them... not always successful, but about 90%.

Em minha opinião isso acontece pela multiplicação das conexões neurais. Somente os pensamentos tradicionais são poucos para o cérebro 🧠 . O que me ajudou a controlar isso foi a audição e o estudo de novos idiomas, com isso os pensamentos ditos como intrusivos se acalmaram e agora são mínimos e também controláveis.
TV programming gaming movies the action stuck on repeat and we get a echo from past viewing.... reprogram but it takes time but even then the past can always haunt some what
I had a bad few months of intrusive thoughts brought on by a combo of usual and added job stress and withdrawal from various meds it is not fun to have this its debilitating scary and it's not only thoughts buy images impulsive behavior OCD and phantom pains eventually it dissappeared but the only real combat you have is time because it will go away and exercise along with staying busy that's helpful and talking to others helps
We appreciate you sharing your personal journey and what helps you to get back on track. We're sending our positive thoughts your way. Keep staying strong ❤️
I just found a script for myself. Here it is if you feel you will benefit from it too; "You're safe. You will get what you desire. Stick to your own pace." That helped me feel calmness and patience. You're welcome if it helps you ❤. Good luck to all 🎉❤😊
Imagine and create a DELETE button and make it a VISUAL HABIT to hit it every time an intrusive thought surfaces, yea? "EVERY WISH FULFILLED" ET.............
To tell you that truth; the voices are just random normal statements of everyday conversation with regular people saying them. And they really don't intrude very often.❤
In true sights are those that you pay attention to and react to emotionally. The more you do the more they come back. When it's not pleasant, it turns on your bodies. Theory response or the sympathetic nervous system flight or flight. As it adapts to this pattern it becomes an addicted pattern. This is where all trauma reactions turned into phobias and worse. A label called anxiety which is simply a word of this evil world. Yes, I'm a professional and I had training way beyond graduate schools and exams. And licensure. Those who give out information that just confuses things can make it far worse. Emergency rooms do not know either. What's going on and they give drugs and turn people loose prescriptions for xanax. And all host of different addictive drugs are not the answer. 🙄🤔🕊🙏❤️🙌✝️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What is an intrusive thought? Are we creating a malady? How would you possibly even think about finding the number of people who ummm think? I gotta read that article, on second thought, hypochondria might set in and i get this along work my restless leg syndrome 🤔
Intrusive thought : talk to particular someone. Script: its just a temptation, aint gon bring me any good, has no point, well one point is helps me calm down the subconscious thats it thats the only point.
I want to add that sometimes intrusive thoughts might be caused by some hidden illness in your body, so you may be having thoughta but the real reason is physical illness.
fun fact (and true fact): if you know how to meditate, you can meditate skydiving. The point is, you don't need a quiet place if you know what you're doing.
Scrutinize your thoughts: Submit your thoughts, ideas, and feelings about life and God to scrutiny. If anything is out of line with what Paul taught, destroy it. Ask the Holy Spirit to work: Expose yourself to the power of the Holy Spirit. Follow the counsel of Solomon: Guard your heart, as everything you do comes from it. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind: Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”.
Intrusive thoughts bad... increasing background music while the crescendo prevents hearing the solution/tips is worse! Do better. Listen to what you've recorded.
We appreciate your thoughts, Gabriele. Intrusive thoughts are definitely natural, that's why so many Americans continue to experience this. We hope this can help those to cope!

That explains a lot.
“Find a quiet place to sit and reflect” ah, people still assume the slaving class has any peace or free time.
If you have time for internet then you have time for sit and reflect.
All it takes is 30 minutes my dude
You're on TH-cam right now buddy. Get off and meditate. Boom you now have time.

The more u ignore the less they come
Agree👍
I have religious ocd/scrupulocity ocd, this kind of advice literally gives me worse intrusive thoughts.
avoidn ppl in real life works for me! tbh in my own personal situation I get more help support and kindness online then in my real life 😐
It’s the rumination of regrets over past misdeeds and traumas etc….when you’re busy with tasks they are suppressed but still lurking- exercise and music together and separately are great therapies to alleviate these negative mind circuits. Journal your thoughts and read them after then reconcile the more persistent ones. Release the darkness and work on yourself one day at a time.
It the fact that you are trying to release darkness that's why you are having these thoughts.
We need to embrace everything in life as a whole and everything will be fine.
Rumination and intrusive thoughts are not the same. Close but not the same .
That's a positive way to look at it. 🙂
You don't know what I intrusive thought are
You can say: all is well all is well. Everything‘s working out for my highest good and out of this experience only good will come and I am safe.
That's a quote from Louise Hay

self discipline yourself, it is not easy to control your own thoughts but you can do it😊

Only you can control the volume. 😀

Gotcha
Wow I was suffering from this for a while and didn't know that it had a name. I started meditating and started to just relax more I really started feeling better mentally and physically. I haven't had any kind of intrusive thoughts in a while.
Glad you're feeling better, James!
Accept of what you are and let the things go ❤
Intrusive thoughts are not who you are
Knowing what triggers intrusive thoughts IMO is more important than to just " Sit and Meditate " know thy brain, its function and then you'll know how to fix it
I got rid of it by praying and remembering God and his power on everything, includimg my mind and also making donations.
Any thought can be intrusive. I haven't had one in years, but I can remember how they hurt.
Be Grateful ❤
Be present/Meditate
Expect the best always🙏💞🌞🌄
Great advice! ❤️
got done listening and was like, "this isnt satire?" lmao
Basically complex quantity of external transformation is impacting the thought process. Speech is being supressed with technology . Usage of each organ dispropotionally is leading to thoughts leading to various disorders.
Yeah, they're common. Mine are screaming "pizza" and "cheeseburger" whenever I eat salad. 🤣
Those are delicious options! 😋
Thats not an intrusive thought. That's an impulsive thought.
Nah. Finding a quiet place to reflect is when the thoughts are the worst.
For sure-sometimes the quiet makes everything feel way louder. Do what works for you; no one way fits all.
Yup this is the only thing that freed me ❤ and it doesn’t take a lot of time people spend more time scrolling that reflecting that’s the real problem they buy into the myth that they don’t have enough time u can take 5 minutes before bed and when you wake up a huge difference
Absolutely! Just a few minutes of reflection can make a big difference. Great perspective! 🌟
Thank you.
Great tips 👌 gna give it a go
You're welcome!
Sometimes you just have to let them run wild and afterwards be like "Where the hell did that come from?"😂
Whenever I relax, I just turn the key in my 74 Charger and listen to that rumble. Makes me happy!
You've found what works for you, that's awesome! 👏

Just observe how they flow in and out like clouds. Don't act upon them.

True, why now?
Why not?
I have them at 5.
me to myself "nah bro, we aint doing dat rn"
Positive self-talk is so powerful.
Sort them out. It might make you sicker in the short term and will be uncomfortable. Its the only way though, Toobz.

Hi, Puri! You've reached the University of Phoenix. What is your question?
Didn't I tell you to take care!
I meditate
Meditation is a wonderful way to increase self-awareness and boost overall mental clarity
I thought it was wondering what your husband is doing
How could this be only 6M and not 350M?
While not everyone who has intrusive thoughts is significantly impacted by them, these thoughts can become distressing and disruptive for some.
Lmao let me go meditate and reflect on my intrusive thoughts to end it all in all in my life. I think too many psychologists think meditation is key.
Scrutinize your thoughts: Submit your thoughts, ideas, and feelings about life and God to scrutiny. If anything is out of line with what Paul taught, destroy it.

You can't control your thoughts, there is no "you" as a thinker
Thanks dude!
I rather keep it, it's sometimes funny
Bro, there r so mant memes about it so i thiught having these thoughts was normal
This neither explains what are intrusive thoughts, nor does give any new solution to them other than what people are already doing naturally.
Hi Nikolai, the recommendations start at 0:42.
@universityofphoenix did you even read what I said?
Absolutely. The video explains what naturally occurs first before providing the three recommendations. Hope this helps!
❤
Bad news. In today's world there are fewer quiet places. Noise, light and EMF pollution.
They come from the universe to you, pray go back to where you come from
Sleep 10 hrs it will be okay then
Nah tbh i just say those thoughts out loud
It happens sometimes.
Intrusive thoughts bad... increasing background music while the crescendo prevents hearing the solution/tips is worse! Do better. Listen to what you've recorded.
We appreciate your honest feedback.
u cannot filter these out no matter how much u try! 😐
What do you think about the recommendations in the video?
Intrusive thoughts are something Natural, they are seen like a problem so they became It. There are some bias in these research topics
We appreciate your thoughts, Gabriele. Intrusive thoughts are definitely natural, that's why so many Americans continue to experience this. We hope this can help those to cope!
They say you are not your thoughts. I disagree
That may be the power of positive thinking.
You still didn't tell us what they are lol
"Thoughts become intrusive when they are unwanted, unintended and recurrent"
Only 6 million Americans? 😂
i see dead people
intrusive thoughts are demonic influenced.
