First of all, one needs to understand, this mind of yours, this body of yours is supposed to serve you. The life that you are in, your physical and mental health is important. Body and mind are vehicles that must serve us. If you sit in a vehicle, it must go where you want to go.
If it’s gone to its own destination, what is the point of such a vehicle? It’s just a nuisance. Right now, most human beings are unfortunately experiencing this fantastic possibility of the human mind.
As a nuisance – as a troublesome thing. Well, this is the most beautiful thing you have. It’s just that you need to pay a little attention as to how it functions and practice positive.
One simple thing is this – the first and foremost process is that’s why we put out this process called ‘Isha Kriya.’ This is to distance yourself from your physiological and psychological process.
This is not just medical advice but advice for your whole life. This is not simple, not like diagnosis or treatment but far away from them. It’s an unimaginable process of meditation.

Negative To Positive Thoughts
No one actually knows how to convert negative thoughts to positive thoughts. So, it is important that you focus on this fundamental sense of aliveness within you, and then you will see there is a natural distance between you and your thought process. Once there is a distance between your psychological process and your physiological process, this is the end of suffering.
Because there are only two kinds of suffering that human beings have to experience and know, otherwise thinking, “I will just remove negative thoughts and overcome depression and then, I will have positive thoughts,” all the best, it’s not going to work. One hundred percent it’s not going to work, because nobody can remove it, they can avoid it for some time. So, when negative thoughts come, you say, “Ram, Ram, Shiva, Shiva,” whatever you want, but this is just avoiding, it’s not gone.
The moment you stop that, it will pop back with great force, otherwise it will come back in your dreams and again the whole procedure will repeat. You’ll again think the same way that “How to avoid negative thoughts?” So, it’s very important. First of all, you need to understand – your anger, your resentment, your fear, your anxieties, the negativity that you generate, generally resentment, anger, it is always directed towards somebody.
No work is stressful. It is your inability to manage your body, mind, and emotions that makes it stressful

Poisoning Yourself with Negative Thoughts
We need to understand, this is poison that we are drinking and expecting somebody else to die. Fortunately, life doesn’t work like that. If I drink poison, I die. If I drink poison, you don’t die. So, we need to understand this.
When I say, “Poison” – today, you can have yourself chemically analyzed. Right now, ‘what is your blood work?’ What it says, 5 minutes of intense anger, check your blood work and see, there will be lots of negative elements in it. Literally, you’re poisoning yourself.
Once there is a distance between your psychological process and your physiological process, this is end of suffering.
-Sadhguru
How to get rid of Negative Thoughts?
So, do you want to poison yourself? Definitely not. Now the very question is coming from certain helplessness, ‘What shall I do?’ The answer is, Don’t do anything. Just sit back and just concern yourself with something which is the life process, maybe your heartbeat, maybe your breath, maybe just the sensation of being alive. Just pay attention to that for some time.
Depending upon how sensitive or how perceptive you are, accordingly, find something, it could be a sensation in the body, it could be breath, it could be heartbeat, it could be anything, something which indicates life to you. Just pay attention to that for some time.
Slowly, you will see there is a distinction between what is you and what you have gathered, which includes both your physiological and psychological possibility or mess, whatever you’ve made out of it. This is the only mantra to remove negative thoughts from mind and your subconscious mind as well.
There are no subtractions and divisions in our mind, there is only addition and multiplication.
