Lord, you know that when I think negative thoughts on a regular basis, I am wiring our brain to believe that these negative thoughts are reality. Just like any habit, the more I do it, the more it becomes part of my everyday routine. Repeating negative thoughts over and over in my mind is also referred to as rumination or perseverative thinking.
*Effects on the Brain: Memory is disrupted. The processing of information is slowed. The amygdala, which controls the fight or flight response, becomes unregulated. When a stressful situation occurs, the amygdala cannot differentiate between a life or death situation and an annoyance. The outcome is then an overreaction to any stressful situation, whether it is a small annoyance or an actual traumatic occurrence. This could result in a dangerous situation or an inability to deal with any type of stress.
*Depression: Depression does not just have an effect on your mind. It can also have damaging physical results like ongoing joint pain, arm/leg pain, and appetite changes. Sleep is often disrupted. Your immune function is decreased. Left untreated, depression can lead to or worsen other mood disorders.
*Loneliness: If someone is thought of as a constant negative thinker, they may not have a huge circle of friends. Most people want to steer clear of negativity and find friends who lift them up, not drag them down. This loneliness can also add to feelings of depression.
*Job Instability: People who are negative thinkers may not want to try hard at work. They may give up because they think there is no way to solve a problem. Employers want people who are willing to do whatever it takes to get a job done, so a negative mindset will not be a marketable skill. This may show through as early as an interview, and it may be hard for those negative thinkers to get any type of skilled position.
*Relationship Issues: Individuals want a life partner who is there for them, who they can talk to, and who they can rely on for feedback. They want someone who is a shoulder to lean on, a cheerleader, and a problem solver. If someone has acquired a negative mindset, it will be hard to endure a long-term relationship because issues are bound to pop up. You need to be able to see someone else’s side or look for productive ways to help the other person resolve their issue.
*Bodily Consequences: With negativity comes a decrease in energy. Thinking your appearance is less appealing may affect how you care about yourself, not giving care to physical appearance. A radical negative sensitivity can also lead to an eating disorder in some cases. This isn’t to say that everyone doesn’t have some negative thoughts or feelings throughout their lives. No one goes through life with only positive, happy thoughts. It is when negative thinking is constant, long-term, and repetitive that problems may occur.
My brain have been wired to think negative thoughts. As you already know the outcomes of negative thinking alI I ask from you is that my brain can be rewired to think positive thoughts and changing habits so they can be ingrained and that I am on my way to positive thinking. I lay my prayer at your feet. Amen.
