Życie bywa trudne, a przyszłość – niepewna, przeszłość zaś często okazuje się bolesna. Niepokoimy się o zdrowie i bezpieczeństwo bliskich nam osób, o pracę, naukę, finanse, relacje z ludźmi. Martwimy się wydarzeniami na świecie, ale także przyziemnymi sprawami, jak przybycie na czas na spotkanie czy codzienne obowiązki. Wciąż zadajemy sobie pytanie „A co, jeśli…?”. Nadmiernie skupiamy się na możliwości pojawienia się w przyszłości jakichś problemów bądź w nieskończoność analizujemy przeszłe, bolesne dla nas wydarzenia – przeżywamy je ponownie w swoim umyśle, zastanawiając się, dlaczego do nich doszło, jaki mają na nas wpływ, czy nasze życie kiedykolwiek będzie jeszcze takie samo. Wpadamy w błędne koło, starając się przestać myśleć o przykrych doświadczeniach, szukając winnych lub obwiniając siebie. Nawracające negatywne myśli powodują emocjonalny ból i cierpienie. Wywołują tak nieprzyjemne emocje, jak poczucie winy, żal, upokorzenie czy uraza, są także przyczyną przewlekłego lęku i depresji. Nie poddają się kontroli, a usilne próby stłumienia ich lub przezwyciężenia okazują się nieskuteczne. Poradnik zawiera oparte na dowodach naukowych strategie radzenia sobie z dwiema formami negatywnego myślenia – zamartwianiem się i rozpamiętywaniem (ruminowaniem). Zmiana sposobu myślenia przyniesie ci spokój i równowagę, a wówczas lepiej poradzisz sobie z codziennymi trudnościami oraz przyjmiesz bardziej akceptującą postawę wobec tego, czego zmienić się nie da. Nie musisz podporządkowywać się nawracającym negatywnym myślom. Jeśli szukasz sposobu na burzę szalejącą w twojej głowie, to sięgnij po ten poradnik. Zamieszczone w nim ćwiczenia pomogą ci przerwać błędne koło negatywnego myślenia, aby doświadczyć spokoju i ulgi oraz wieść bardziej produktywne, wypełnione sensem życie.
