When we challenge the thoughts, defy them, rather than give in to their threats, demands and blackmail, they become stronger for a short time, but then fade away… Our minds becme free to think about positive and more pleasant things, and peace returns to us. It’s holding onto, and persevering with that defiance, that takes a lot of initial effort… But it most certainly can be done… Honest!
