What are Poison Thoughts and What Do They Have to do with the Law of Attraction?

What is a poison thought and how does it sabotage me? A poison thought is a thought that is designed to cause pain and suffering within the body when it becomes activated. Not only is it designed to cause pain but it is also designed to move you away from whatever it is you area wanting. How do we know if we are believing a poison thought? The quickest way to find out if we are believing a poison thought is to determine if it hurts when we believe it. For instance, a few poison thoughts might be “I can’t, this is too difficult”, or “why bother, life is too hard”. Just ask yourself, “How do I feel when I believe this thought”. If we feel any kind of pain like sadness, grief, anger, and so on when you believe it then we know it is a poison thought. In addition, ask yourself “What do I do when I believe this thought”. If by answering this question you notice yourself stop from moving forward or stop yourself from taking action then it is a good indication that it is a poison thought. How do we release a poison thought? You cannot push against or resist a thought because it only keeps the thought activated even more. For instance, don’t think of a white elephant. Right now, don’t think of a white elephant. What happens when I ask you not to think of a white elephant? You think of it more, don’t you? If you want to release a thought the solution is to think another thought instead. Let me give you an example. If you don’t want to think of a white elephant then think of a blue tiger instead. Notice your mind shifts to the new thought of a blue tiger. Let me give you a real life example. If you are believing a thought like “I can’t, this is too difficult”, try thinking the thought, “yes, this might be difficult but I am willing to give it my best shot anyway”. Notice, that as you think this new thought, the first thought releases. In other words, the mind lets go of the first thought and the new thought becomes the main focus.
