When and when not to use silence in your thought process

[trevorjohnson83]

Everyday boredom depression starts with thoughts and silence. Keeping really silent in thought, eventually your mind will involuntarily begin thinking for you. It's easier to just let it run. But if you're not meditating then you probably just let thought run in your mind until its to emotional and you stop your thought at which point you may suffer physical symptoms of anxiety. I think when a thought or thoughts give you anxiety its better to manually overdrive your mind and have a minute of controlled thinking in your head as opposed to sitting in silence like its the only thing that helps with the mind. In other words the old meditation trick of stopping your thoughts is kind off inappropriate letting your mind go silent when you start feeling anxiety. You might choose a word to a subject you like as sort of a go to word to swing your thoughts in a different direction.

Emotional code for cure to anxiety: Thoughts to fear/anger to silence in thought to anxiety to voluntarily slow thinking for an appropriate time to dissolve the anxiety to feeling fine.

By putting pauses between short thoughts...you...can generally...dissolve anxiety much quicker then starring out the window after you start to get anxiety.
