  I tend to write it down and then destroy it.
  seems that things that are written down come into ones life faster than when it is traveling around in your mind.
  Especialy if you are like me a thinker that has no limits. I can go on for days and days with a thought and ofcourse if it is negative i am in bad shoes.
  So i write it down even on the computer althought i have experienced that writing it with a pen has a faster and deeper conection. Then i delete it or burn the paper. It gives a relief that it is not yours anymore.
  
  Needles to say that a lot of people now are going up and down in these times of turmoil.

    I do a lot of automatic writing, and you're right-- it does help to filter out some of that stuff eventually.

  Neg thoughts are like a stream running over rocks they eventually make a pathway for the water to run by,your job is too make different pathways in your mind. You are aware of what is happening and you will eventually make head way. A year ago due to a traumatic life, my phobias were taking over my life. I couldn't stand or walk along a busy road as I coldn't trust myself as I wanted to run into it, sharp knives around the house, I had to try and avoid as I felt I could harm someone or myself.A horrible situation when it is you own children in the home. It was very difficult to master this, face up to you thoughts and keep on with the positive thoughts the pathway will eventually change. Be patient.
  Maybe you need to find something new in life, a group that will take your mind off 2012. It can takeover, and you forget your old interests.Good luck :)

    I never said I was worried about 2012. It is various personal things in my life, but thank you for your perspective.

  I have dealt with this a lot in my life especially as I often get into "obsessive" states and I have found the most helpful thing to do is to a) have no resistance to the thoughts - just let them flow through my brain without attaching any judgments or "extra" thoughts to them b) feel unconditional love or send unconditional love from my heart chakra to my brain and thoughts c) realize that my brain is just a "processor" on this level and that it will create the most awesome stories, but it is just creating with the mind - does not mean I am creating in my life and the truth is that what is meant to be is meant to be.
  The law of attraction at least from my understanding and experience is more than just our thoughts - we have to genuinely feel deeply and strongly those thoughts and feelings and surrender them to the universe wholeheartedly; therefore, I tend to not fret about my "bad" thoughts anymore as I realize it takes more than just thoughts to create.

    I should have specified that the thoughts I am worrying about are mainly long time recurring ones-- phobias; things I have been afraid of for a long time. I am afraid that the intensity and repetitive, obsessive nature of them will make them manifest...
    
    The slighter, more fleeting bad thoughts are much easier to let go of and accept, and I'm not too worried about them at the moment.
    
    I will keep in mind what you said about the mind being like a processor sometimes. That attitude might help me bring on the forgiveness faster, which is a good emotion to help start clearing it out.

    I like that. Accept the negative thoughts and let go.

  True. Negative thoughts are hard to avoid, especially when we know the law of attraction - then I get even more paranoid. I try to have a theme per weekday to avoid negativity. For example, Monday = no judging anyone and Tuesday = be nice to a person I hate (lol), Wednesday = thank someone (friends, god), Thursday = think positively!!!, etc.

    That is a good system. I have one also. I keep a list, and on it, I keep all the responsibilities I need to care of along with all the things I need/ want. Also on this list are habits I would like to bring out in myself, or goals I am trying to manifest. By looking at these things several times a day, they really get reinforced in my behavior-- or at least my thoughts.
