I should think that one effective way to purge negative and harmful thoughts is to fill your mind with good ones. Don’t resist thinking about something negative; redirect and think about something new. Resisting thoughts is holding on to them--still thinking about them. Redirecting our thoughts means that we let go of the old and lay hold of the new.
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Phil.4 Conversations Within” ts 9/8/2016
