While your feelings are not all about brain chemicals, the delicate balance between neurotransmitters and other hormones can play a big part in maintaining emotional stability, wellness and a positive outlook. Lifestyle, stress management and maintaining healthy relationships all contribute to happiness. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter manufactured and found in the brain. Along with other neurotransmitters, serotonin helps to support emotional wellness and sleep patterns as well as energy levels, sex drive and appetite. Serotonin also promotes healthy concentration, a positive mental attitude, memory and mental alertness. Other neurotransmitters such as dopamine, as well as certain hormones like cortisol are also involved in maintaining balanced mood and feelings of confidence and well-being. Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to gently and safely support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, as well as to maintain normal and efficient balance of emotion. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and maintain balanced mood and a positive mental attitude, feelings of well-being, and support emotional wellness. --Hypericum perforatum (also known as St. John’s Wort) has been traditionally used for centuries to support balanced mood and safely maintain mental wellness and equilibrium. --Passiflora incarnata (also known as Passion Flower) has active ingredients which include flavonoids, cyanogenic glycosides, alkaloids and saparin. Like St John’s Wort, Passiflora has also stood up well to clinical studies which support its traditional usage as a soothing and moderating herb. Always be sure to obtain natural remedies from a reliable, trustworthy source to ensure safety and maximum effectiveness.

Professional counseling with someone who can teach you techniques to work with the anxiety that causes this. This is what it took for me.

Actually, you can take your question to another level, by asking, "what is the root cause of those reoccuring thoughts"? The root cause or what they call, the Sponsoring Thought, is the thought before the thought. It is this sponsoring thought that is rooted in some deep seeded fear, subjugation, pain, addiction, quirk, self infliction, anxiety. The key is when the reoccuring thought pops up, STOP yourself right in that moment and try to CATCH what preceeded it. When you get in the practice of being aware of how you think and try to catch the thought before the thought, then you'll discipline yourself to eventually get rid of it. i hope this helps. If you need further assistance, go to my web site www.chrisleecompanies.com as an example, i wrote her a very specific thought program to help her overcome esteem issues to help her achieve what she wanted in her real estate career. good luck Chris

Read Eckhart Tolle "Awakening; a New Earth". It discusses the ego and this is what gives us negative thoughts. It's inate in everyone until we learn how to be aware of it and overcome it. It sounds strange now, but this book is changing my life.

Removing negative thoughts? Well I have been told this many of times. Think about the positive! POSITIVE! POSITIVE! POSTIVE! The negative happens! So entertain yourself.

Sit with the thought, recognize it, understand that it is only a thought, and then let it go. Sometimes being with it for a moment and realizing it's not permanent and that you can move on from it helps. Make a list of three things you are grateful for every day (I like to write mine right before I go to sleep). Then, make a list of three things you accomplished. Finally, decide on one positive thing you want to do the next day and focus on that. If you find that you are completely overcome by negative, recurring thoughts, consider consulting a counselor or therapist.

Okay this is a little cheesy but it works. I get bad depressions and think nothing but negative thoughts...so when I recognise that I am doing it 'AGAIN'...I just start saying and thinking 'POSITIVE HAPPY THOUGHTS POSITIVE HAPPY THOUGHTS POSITIVE HAPPY THOUGHTS' over and over again and next thing I know, I have broken the negative cycle and things look, and I feel, better. Sometimes I might do this several times a day, and then the cycle seems to fade and I am happier and more positive for long periods of time. No meds. Give it a try. It's free, it will work, no medications and you can do it anywhere, anytime. Good luck!

Will to power! ;-)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

1. You could replace every negative thought with a powerful, empowering thought. If you make this a habit, it will become automatic. 2. Visualize where you want to be in four years or so with your life. This could cut out a lot of negative thoughts because instead of focusing on what you don't want, by doing this you'll be inclined to focus on what you do want. 3. I'll go on a sort of mental fast sometimes and decide not to think about anything negative for a whole day or week or whatever. I'll write down what bothers me and then deal with it afterwards in a positive, constructive way.
