How to Stop Worrying and How to Overcome Negative Thoughts

Your problem is you are lost between your two ears.
You dwell on the morbid and fall into fears.
You're too lost in daydreams, thoughts and schemes,
Replacing reality with fantasy scenes.

Things are never as bleak as they seem.
Your unhappy thoughts and fears are like a bad dream.
Just meditate to wake up and see
They are just thoughts and not reality.

Kids dream of being a prince or princess coming down the stairs.
But when we get older, our daydreams become nightmares.
We develop the habit of escaping from our cares
The mental world becomes so strong
Soon it's in charge and bossing us around.

The solution is elementary -
Learn to stand back mentally.
Become the thinker instead of the thought
Soon you'll be in charge, as you ought.

Get out of your thinking and fantasy
And meditate for objectivity.
Become aware of your hand
Then you'll understand.

Watch the thoughts go passing by.
Don't get involved,
Just watch them go and wave goodbye.
They will tease and taunt and continue to try
To pull you in to get involved.

Just remember that no issues by worry are ever solved.
So let the thoughts go marching by
And from your mental grandstand wave goodbye.

Things are never as bleak as they seem.
Your unhappy thoughts and fears are like a bad dream.
Just meditate to wake up and see
They are just thoughts and not reality.

Once you become centered and grounded
You'll see that most of your fears are unfounded.
Get out of your thinking
And the emotions in which you are sinking.

Mentally step back
And calmly observe your panic attack.
Remain neutral and mentally distant
Don't offer resentful resistance.
Struggling makes negative thoughts worse.

Just remember the following verse:
Things are never as bleak as they seem.
Your unhappy thoughts and fears are like a bad dream.
Just meditate to wake up and see
They are just thoughts and not reality.

Don't sit around and ruminate
Let me show you how to meditate.

It's so easy, you will say "wow."
Nobody ever showed you how.
You can get you started now.

Now you will be able to discern what is true
And you'll intuit what to do.
Worries, doubts, and fears will be a thing of the past
When you learn to watch them and let them pass.

Sometimes a word or a deed you will need.
When you are calm you will act without commotion.
You'll move with grace and calmness instead of emotion.
The result will be progress
And step by step you will find success.

It's important to learn to mentally stand back
So you are in control
Not drifting away with the mental flow.

Once you learn to observe thought,
You are now in effortless control
Of what you once fought.

Don't try to blank thoughts with effort
Or hide them under the cover.
But don't drift away with them either.

Mentally stand back and observe what is there.
Before you shoved it under the carpet to be unaware.
Now at the negative thought you will be able to stare.

You are the general watching thought from your grandstand
While you notice your forehead and your right hand.

You used to struggle and then throw in the towel
And soon were lost in thought every hour.
Now you'll discover you have the power
To stand back and watch from your observation tower.

You will also relate better to other people and family
You'll discover how to be kind and friendly
Without over-reacting to them emotionally.

You'll have endless patience and a light touch
You'll be able to discern and not judge.

You' ll discover the beauty of reality
The larks and robins you will hear.
Instead of problems, solutions you will see,
And your heart will be filled with cheer.
