Are Those Negative Thoughts Actually Yours?
Recently, someone asked what we can do to move out of negative thinking and actions. The first step? Understand this: not all thoughts are yours. In fact, very few are. They may sound like you, feel like you—but they’re not.
✦ Curious whether the thoughts in your space are even yours? Begin here.
It’s easy to assume they're yours—you’re the one hearing them, after all. But if you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even believe that… why am I thinking it?”—you’ve glimpsed the truth.
We often treat these thoughts as evidence of who we are. But what if they’re not? What if you’re just the one overhearing them?
Our Beautiful Minds
The mind is a powerful tool. It helps us create, assess, discern, and protect ourselves. When used with intuition, it can be brilliant.
✦ Some patterns don’t shift just by noticing. You’re invited to explore that here.
But the mind also has vulnerabilities—especially to fear. Discerning between authentic danger and foreign, planted fear isn’t always easy. A thought that doesn’t belong to you can still trigger your nervous system.
This is where inner guidance becomes non-negotiable. By slowing down, listening carefully, and assessing the moment—not just the thought—we begin to recognize what is and isn’t ours.
Where Are These Thoughts Coming From?
We’re bombarded by thousands of thoughts a day. Many aren’t helpful, healing, or constructive. Some are downright vicious.
✦ Not all thoughts are generated from within. Some are carried in your field. Explore that.
They can feel intrusive, exhausting, even overwhelming. And if you’ve ever acted in a way that didn’t feel like “you”—this may be why.
Why are so many thoughts negative? Why not streams of peace, beauty, clarity? Who benefits from this noise? Who gains when you spiral?
Effortless Streams of Thought
Ever noticed how, even when you try not to think, thoughts still come?
One thought triggers another, and soon a calm morning turns into emotional quicksand. Nothing happened—but somehow, everything shifted. Just from the words in your head.
That’s because… you’re listening to a stream of consciousness that is not your own.
And that stream? It's often fed by something invested in your disconnection—from your joy, your power, your clarity.
Polarity, Programming & Puppeteers
The polarity matrix we live in is built to keep you from your full power. And while we co-created parts of this structure, there are others behind the curtain—and they’re good at what they do.
✦ If the usual mindset work hasn’t worked, there’s a reason. The deeper explanation begins here.
The more you believe these thoughts are yours, the more power they hold. But once you’re aware… you can begin to shift the terms.
Seven Sources of Thoughts That Aren’t Yours
When Thoughts Are Ours
Sometimes thoughts really are ours—specifically, the ones attached to our own wounded parts in this lifetime and beyond. These can actually help, by pointing toward what needs attention.
It takes discernment to know the difference. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
✦ If you suspect a thought could be a wounded voice - your instinct might be correct. Let's find out.
You may have done inner work - therapy, soul searching - and yet something still lingers—just out of reach, unnamed.

You described it well. You are the first I've read that really seems to get a grasp on what I've found as of now. It is a struggle, in that, watching others, you can almost feel the 'thoughts'...that are not theirs, and therefore, the human has no 'blame' in what they say or do...when they feel like the idea or thought was their own. I have personally found that no thought is my own...that I function somewhat on a different speed, the thoughts aren't thoughts but full cognizant concepts In less than instants. Yet, I've also found that 'blocking' is also used, so that the information is 'blocked'...not by any physical part of the human existence. ...I enjoyed reading your article. I feel less alone...not that I am alone here in this existence...I have many very close friends, and married, happily...but to them I do not share this. Finding the truths...with a goal of all goodness...negating all negative energy so it cannot harm or redirect humanity finding the beautiful world underneath it all.
