Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ingerman’s creative, multi-pronged plan for healing is gentle, practical and encouraging, making it a fine resource for the overstressed.” —Publishers Weekly We may not realize it consciously, but negative feelings can be as toxic as physical poisons, wearing on us and causing depression, illness, and burnout. But how can we keep ourselves safe in a world too often ruled by resentment, jealousy, rage, and stress? How to Heal Toxic Thoughts provides the cure, and it lies in the ancient principle of alchemy. Many people think that the old alchemists were trying to turn lead into gold. But in actuality, as Sandra Ingerman—a practicing shaman and psychologist—reveals, they were metaphorically working on transforming heavy leaded consciousness into gold light consciousness. Using their theories, Ingerman offers strategies for processing the harmful thoughts and emotions that hit us throughout our day. Instead of sending and receiving lethal energy, you will learn, through meditations, visualizations, and other exercises, how to radiate positive thoughts and shield yourself from those that are destructive. Her methods are simple . . . but they can change you, others, and the world. “This wonderful little book, filled with healing stories and wisdom, will change people’s lives. Sandra Ingerman is to be commended for she has created very good medicine indeed.” —Hank Wesselman, PhD, and Jill Kuykendall, RPT, authors of Spirit Medicine “If you sincerely want a more healthy, compassionate approach to life’s challenging moments, this book can help enormously. How to Heal Toxic Thoughts is like a weeklong retreat delivered in an easy-to-follow format.” —Leonard Felder, PhD, author of Keeping Your Heart Open

Download or read book Negative and Toxic Thoughts written by Media A F and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By now, we're all aware of the fact that we're supposed to "think positively" all the time, that "our inner worlds create our outer worlds," and that we'll be happier if we just think happy thoughts all the time. That's super great if you're a naturally happy person or if your life is perfect, but it doesn't leave a heck of a lot of space for you to actually feel some negative feelings.Negative feelings, remember those? The ones that are supposed to be toxic to your soul, because "what you focus on grows and expands and becomes your reality"? The feelings you've been trying to squelch down since the rise of the positive psychology movement?Here's a thought-what if you just aired those feelings out? What if, instead of trying to just "think a happy thought," you really just sat down and got all of those angry and negative thoughts out of your system? That's what this journal is about. Use it say whatever terrible thing you're thinking. Don't hold back. Make yourself laugh with how much you actually despise your co-worker who keeps getting promoted despite being an idiot. Rant about politicians who lie and steal and still get to keep their jobs. Say terrible things about your ugly neighbor with the bad attitude whose husband is handsome and successful, while you're over here killing yourself at Spin class and remaining single. These things are NOT FAIR, and you should NOT have to accept them.All we're saying is, if you sit on those negative feelings and try to ignore them, they are just going to fester. If you use this journal to take them as far as they want to go, you'll get them out of your head and maybe even be able to move on from them. You might even make yourself laugh in the process.Here are some examples of the categories of rants and horrible thoughts some of our readers have written about, as well as the general topics they fall under. Please feel free to refer back to them as writing prompts if you feel stuck.1.PEOPLE: People on social media, in general, especially idiotic people with loudmouth opinions. As a side note, why do these people always have the absolute worst grammar?2.FAMILY: Family members who you have to be nice to, even though they push you to your absolute limit. Another title for this entry might be "There better be enough booze in the house to get me through the holidays."3.CAREER: Co-workers or competitors who are inexplicably more successful than you, despite the fact that you KNOW you are smarter/ more talented/ harder working than they are. Are they using witchcraft? What do they have that you don't have?4.STRANGERS: People who talk on their cellphone on speakerphone in public.5.SUCCESS/ LIFE: Why does it seem to be so difficult for a regular, hard-working person to get a decent house and raise a family? Isn't this the "American dream"? How is this possible anymore, when you are killing yourself at work and still living in an overpriced apartment/ rental house?6.HEALTH: Some of the nicest people you know end up getting terrible diseases and dying, while inconsiderate a-holes are in perfect health. Discuss.7.NEIGHBORS: especially neighbors who have no concept of disturbing other people. This includes, but is most certainly not limited to: people who play their terrible music too loud, people who let their dogs bark for hours on end, people with loud children who seem to want the neighborhood to babysit for them, and people with loud cars.8.WEIGHT: That's where you eat a carrot stick every day and gain four pounds, while your annoying friends and co-workers weigh 100 pounds and complain about how fat they think they are, OR (perhaps even worse) say things on social media like "Oh yeah...I can eat whatever I want and I never gain weight!" when you know full well they have an eating disorder.9.KIDS: you are supposed to love them and take care of them, so why are they such jerks?

Book excerpt: A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.
