If you condition yourself to something you shouldn’t think about You think more and more.

Agree from this idea How can we be saved?

First, let’s look at what “white bear syndrome” is.

While wandering through the world of thoughts, we sometimes concentrate more on a thought while trying to suppress it. This situation is found in a play by Tolstoy and in the works of Dostoevsky: White bear syndrome.

In his play, Tolstoy tells his brother not to think about a white bear. His brother admits that he has been thinking about this bear ever since he said this. The same goes for Dostoevsky “Winter notes on summer impressions” Although the reader was asked not to think about the polar bear in his work, this request caused the thought to occur to him more often.

This paradox shows that thinking about not-thinking actually contains a contradiction.

psychologists, To understand why such attempts at reflection occur many experiments were conducted. After researching this subject in depth, Daniel Wegner was the person who coined the famous term ‘white bear syndrome’ that we use today.

Wegner found that when people tried to avoid a particular thought, that thought actually became stronger and stuck in their mind. The mind becomes complicated when the person tries to avoid a particular thought and tries to suppress that thought, resulting in: creates a vicious circle.

The reason behind the syndrome is the paradoxical effect of trying to gain control over the mind.

When you think not to thinkthat thought becomes clearer. When someone is left alone with an unwanted thought, he tries to suppress it as much as possible, which makes the thought even stronger.

So how will it go?

It may be possible to break this vicious circle by focusing on one thing instead of trying to do many things at once.

Think consciously about the thought and approach to thinking under control It can also be helpful. To get rid of the effects of the syndrome, changing the focus of thinking and thinking less about unwanted thoughts in this regard will help.
