I just wanted to know if you have any advice on how I can stop believing my intrusive thoughts and be free from them forever?
It is of course always good to be grateful all that life gives us. In fact, we should be grateful even for all that we are not given since it helps as a spur towards progress. And to take one more step and be grateful for all the ordeals of life as they come to help us take a leap by facing and overcoming the various challenges. Take life and all its hardships as a challenge and overcome them with the help of the Divine Grace.
Coming to the difficulty of intrusive thoughts, there is a law of life that whatever we focus on much tends to increase. It applies to difficulties as well. Intrusive thoughts draw our attention both when they come as well as when we try to stop them. A simpler and better way is to ignore them, to turn your mind away and go about doing your work. Staying busy with work and learning new things itself helps. The other method is to be a witness to all the thoughts as one watches the waves rising and falling in a river or sea. Do not judge or try to stop, just observe. Staying busy with work, ignoring and witnessing are three simple ways to weaken this tendency. Opening to the Divine Grace does the magic rest.
Affectionately,
