Questions & Answers:
What is wrong with positive thinking?
Q: Why do you object to replacing
our negative thoughts with other ones. When I feel anxious I divert
my thoughts away from the anxiety. I might read a magazine, or go
and work in the garden. If I am out I might count the number of red
cars I see. I might practice my breathing. This can make me feel a
bit better. What is wrong with that?
A: It depends on what way you look at it. You may get
short term relief with these diversions, but it is only short term.
The root cause is still there as you have not taken any steps to
deal with it. The root cause of course is your thinking.
