My mind has been bubbling with hate ever since that relative incident I've talked about in the past couple of posts. So not very long, I admit, but I strongly dislike it when my mind becomes so preoccupied with something so negative and unconstructive. I decided to do something about it right away.
For future reference, here are my tips:
- Ask help from God. This works for me at least. I explain the problem to him, and he either resolves it during my monologue, or offers tools for me to resolve it, or resolves it later.
- Use Joe Dispenza's meditation technique, the one where you surrender the thing that no longer serves you for the universe to resolve into a greater sense of wisdom. There's a door and everything, and you can hear a deep voice say "change!" if you start slipping back into the hate.
- Visualize the object of your unwanted emotion as a rat that lives in the sewer. This helps you remember that it has no power over you. You also have no motive to be mean to it - it's just a helpless animal with no power to change its circumstances.
Those three alone should release at least 99% of the negative feeling.
