Learning to ignore the self destructive mind

The self destructive mind is not so different from getting too close to toxic people.

The very moment you engage the self destructive mind. Even so much as a bit. Soon you can only be sucked in head first into it’s vicious narrative of hate and getting even.

But if you ignore it and don’t feed it…..or better still occupy your mind by thinking about something else and don’t give it the nourishment, time and attention. Then all these negative thoughts can only grow smaller and be so very silent.
