How can we trick our minds to eliminate useless thoughts and replace those with something productive and meaningful ones?

To reach this stage of life practice is required actually a lot of practice in every day’s life. I will tell you what I do when I have bad or useless thoughts while working or even when I am sitting idle with friends or family.

I start my day with positivity around me e.g., watching some good positive vibes videos or listening to bhajans works really well while starting a day.

What I mean to say is keep your environment in such a manner that wherever you see or hear you just feel positive vibes around you, and this can be done or achieved only by looking inside yourself and searching for this all in you and not externally or from someone else. 

What we look for outside is actually can be found inside, it is just a matter of understanding and realization. Happiness is a practice and you don’t have to earn it or learn it from somewhere else or from someone else. And when you have found it within you, then you don’t have to search for solutions to avoid negative thoughts or bad moods which disturbs everything and makes it worse when we have something important to do.

Just know the importance of time, we all have limited time and when we don’t realize it, we get thoughts like useless and bad. After realization of time and energy we start doing something which is useful and meaningful, at first it seems really complicated but as we keep getting into it deeper then, we start understanding things and the processes.

Paying attention to situations and time makes it easier to get rid of these kinds of thoughts which put us in dilemma of words and then we have a lot of doubts and questions for ourselves which eventually will lead to a door which has the way to everything. so let it come and be prepared to ask questions and don’t move for next question until you have the genuine answer for what you are asking.
