Most of us have thoughts in our heads that do not distract us as much as they try. All the while, the mind is at work and never ceasing. How to do it in this case? In fact, even in this century we are living in, there are still many things that scientists cannot explain. There is no medicine that can save us from bad thoughts, or there is no forgetting strategy that works 100 percent of the time.
However, we will show you some techniques on how to forget your mind-boggling thoughts:
Stop repeating yourself thinking about it
If you want to remember your mother's phone number, you will probably repeat it over and over until you fix it. The technique of forgetting things works exactly the opposite: whenever memory comes to your mind, throw it away. You can also force yourself to think of something else. If you do this often, that memory will surely fade away.
Change the context
As you think about your worst memory, you probably think of many details: where it happened, how it happened, what you were wearing, who you were with: so basically, the context of the situation. Researchers have found that every memory is related to the context of the experience, and the context helps us remember it. Therefore, if you want to forget it, the context needs to be changed. Try to add some controversial new details that haven't actually happened and change the situation to different conditions. In the end you will confuse your mind so much that memory will come out of your head.
Think on the positive side
Whenever you think of a negative memory, try to think of something positive, a beautiful memory to replace it.
Change the perspective
Sometimes we think more than we should and worry about something we shouldn't. Our emotions are what keep us from forgetting, so the key is to stop being emotional about a given situation. Analyze your memory and try to think of it from a different perspective. Maybe nothing bad has really happened and everything is just in your mind. If you can't convince yourself, ask for someone else's opinion and share this memory. Maybe the other person's reaction will make you think things differently and so that memory will fade.
