Many people live such a life in which their thoughts act as their enemies. They don’t have control over their thoughts so thoughts play with them. Mostly when we are free we get engaged in negative thoughts, thus it is very important to keep ourselves busy by engaging in some activity or work which we like. In this way, we can send over mind to relax mode and away from negative thoughts. If you don’t come out of this vicious cycle of negative thoughts then they can lead to serious mental health problems.
