I’m sure you often witness how people read other people’s thoughts. I wish I could read and polish my own, but no, other people’s are more interesting) I’ll even say that you probably do this yourself without even noticing it. Quite often, mind reading can be perceived as entertainment, but sometimes this practice, if you take it seriously and don’t check it , can cause a lot of problems. In particular, the “ability” to read thoughts can be the cause of the development of anxiety or even anxiety disorders. I bring to your attention this publication, with the help of which you can, if you wish, recognize the mystical ability to read thoughts in yourself or in your loved ones , which are essentially a malfunction in the normal functioning of thinking. If you find it, again if you wish, you can try to get rid of this bad habit, which deprives you of peace and prevents you from seeing the real picture of the world and making the right decisions based on it. I will give you some techniques. In the end, if you recognize it, but you can’t fix it yourself, you can decide to correct the lost setting with the help of a specialist. For clarity, as I usually do, I’ll give an example. There is a certain Ilya who wants to meet with the goal of creating a romantic relationship. He goes to the gym and meets girls there that he likes. The girls are in no hurry to meet Ilya, and he decides that this is because he is overweight. I’ll lose 3-5 kilograms and then I’ll like you, he decides. This is one example of how Ilya decided that he knew what the girls were thinking and made conclusions based on this. I will not now deviate towards the fact that resistance will most likely not help you lose kilos, because the reason is not in them, I will try not to be distracted by the fact that even if I succeed in getting rid of the kilograms, Ilya will be disappointed, again because the reason is not the kilograms, and I will dwell on a specific very important point, which, if not noticed and passed by, will not allow Ilya to get what he wants .This point is that Ilya is convinced that the reason for his failures is being overweight. And if someone tells him that this is not so, even if it is the Buddha, he still will not believe it, he will be guided by his conviction and his anxiety will increase with each unsuccessful attempt made under the influence of this conviction. As a result, he will move away from the girls, which is not part of his plans. So, Ilya (all coincidences are random, the example is deliberately simplified) read the girls’ thoughts and has no doubt at all that this is exactly the case. I suggest trying to convince Ilya. Ilya might wonder: where did the information come from? Maybe some girl told him that? If so, what was he like then? Task: to doubt the reliability of the information. What else can you do to doubt your own ability to read other people’s thoughts even more? Become not only a reader, but a completely predictor: if I talk to a girl, she will say that she doesn’t talk to such fat people. And develop the scenario to the point of complete failure. You can also suggest that Ilya study himself to see if in his attitude towards people there is a habit of evaluating and criticizing them? If so, then these are symptoms of the same failure in thinking as mind reading. You can set yourself the goal of testing your beliefs in any way. At least ask the girls, at least ask your friends. This in itself usually doesn’t help much, but one of the points in the plan for achieving the goal is suitable. It’s good to plunge into the abyss of despair: if it turns out that Ilya is right and the girls really don’t talk to him because of the kilograms, what’s the worst thing that could follow from this? Ilya should ask himself a question: will all the girls like him without his 5 kilograms? Another very interesting trick: choose the girl who, in his opinion, doesn’t like Ilya the most, and do something good for her. Now you can think and list everything that will remain in place in Ilya’s life if the girl doesn’t like him
