ririanproject.com — Are you carrying around some junk? You know, those hurtful and disastrous things that you may have been told by someone during the course of your life.

    Like any healthy American, I keep my negative emotions bottled up and let it out slowly through alcoholism and road rage.
  • SheilaNoya, on 11/04/2007, -7/+40An easier method ------> Take a few hits off the bong and crank up the music.
  • inactive, on 11/04/2007, -3/+23All you really need are two little words:

    DON'T PANIC (preferably written in large, friendly letters)
  • OBKenobi, on 11/04/2007, -2/+20Take off your shame hat.
  • meshman, on 11/04/2007, -4/+19These suggestions will never work.

  • Sp4rker, on 11/04/2007, -0/+10one word : meditate
  • DanJohnHarris, on 11/04/2007, -1/+11How about you deal with your *****? Stop being a little bitch and look at your life for what it is. See where you're ***** up, and change it. It's your fault, and your fault alone. If you're stupid enough to let what other people say bug you, it's your fault.
  • Chongo, on 11/04/2007, -0/+8I'm more passive aggressive... I CAUSE road rage
  • Frippledip, on 11/04/2007, -0/+6actually you're not too far off, I have a therapist who suggests wearing a rubber band around your wrist and snapping it when you have a negative thought. Classic negative reinforcement. It works too, my wrist was pretty red the first few days.
  • dansvan, on 11/04/2007, -2/+8Easier: Take a 3 hour angry nap. Then, when you wake up, you'll forget what you were angry about. After about 5 minutes you'll remember, and take another 3 hour angry nap, or drown your sadness out by some alcohol.
  • vinecrawler, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5mama says my demons live in my pee pee. What do you think I should do in this case, sir?
  • demosthenes, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5Thanks for all the fish
  • vinecrawler, on 11/04/2007, -0/+5I think its your fault.
  • Fieri, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4Rugged individualism for the win.
  • juliolarri, on 11/04/2007, -0/+4no hole to drill, so just let the demons out
  • bdbr, on 10/30/2007, -0/+4I STOPped at "shame hat" and went Googling for where I could get one. First match was this one:

    I can see why you'd want to take that off. It doesn't look like much fun.
  • Kenzan, on 11/04/2007, -0/+4I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and Gosh Darn it! People like me!
  • burdalane, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Meditation can help. When you start thinking negative thoughts, put the thoughts out of your mind and focus on what you're doing now. On a negative note, it's easier said than done. I'm one of the most overtly negative people I know.
  • diggduggDOOM, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3... but my shame hat is so damn stylish. It really brings out the color in my guilt glasses.
  • XSVFizz, on 10/29/2007, -1/+3Die?
  • maximumsteve1, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2All these negative comments. I'm saying the word Stop!
  • inchrnt, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2wow, could advertising-disguised-as-content on digg ever get more obvious?

  • SlipstreamLucas, on 10/30/2007, -5/+7when i want to feel better i just kick a kitten.
    ***** i hate cats.
  • ChronicColonic, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2To help with my negativity, I was thinking about taking a class on improving my self esteem. I put that idea to rest as I do not think I am worthy for self improvement...
  • noumuon, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2you mean there's still tech stuff on digg? :o
  • packetstorm, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3lol
  • verifex, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2Good lord, why do these stories get dug anyways? Does anyone honestly think that reading a 2 page story on the internet is going to stop you from having negative thoughts? Are people really that desperate and delusional to believe what the title of this article? If you are having serious problems with lots of negative thoughts, then you should go to counseling, not reading a stupid article on the internet.
  • giddytonk, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3The tips in this article are easier said than done. WHOOPS THAT WAS A NEGATIVE THOUGHT.!
  • mlfoley, on 10/30/2007, -2/+4And ladies, take that junk and put it in your trunk.

    Anyway, I'm an American and firmly believe that those limey bastards were right when they said, "Happiness is a warm gun." It's advice that's never let me down yet. Bang bang, shoot shoot!
  • drizzlelicious, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2Another easy way: stop browsing digg. All you ever read on here are tech stuff and news about how the government screwed up
  • Cornrider, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Play Half-Life 2 Deathmatch
  • ewc80, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it...
  • inactive, on 10/29/2007, -1/+2I was expecting this to be another one of those garbage zenhabits.com submissions.
  • itux1985, on 10/29/2007, -0/+1YES!!!!!!!!!!
  • heynoop, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1this reeks of cheesy generic self-help garbage. ignoring your thoughts will only make things worse; the trick is to not ACT upon your thoughts. your mind will make up things all the time, but its your choice to stop yourself from acting upon them... which leads me to the next false statement in this article: "you are what you think". you are NOT what you think. this article honestly does more harm than good. its intentions are good, but the advice is horrible.
  • inactive, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Dude, I think it's called a hotknife with pot and freebasing with cocaine or any kind of amphetamine :)
  • ciano, on 10/29/2007, -0/+1Here’s a Quicker Way to STOP Negative Thoughts: Stan Bush.
  • skews13, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1even a half inch worm.has a whole inch of spirit.
  • tehxen3, on 10/30/2007, -2/+3This article makes me mad, I feel like shooting someone.
  • ewc80, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Agreed, confidence and self-esteem are not gained by a two minute read if you are lacking them. This is nothing but a fluff piece that tries to pump sunshine up your ass.
  • inactive, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Lame self-help tips along with stupid acronyms need to STOP. I can already tell that I hate everyone who subscribes to these ideas.
  • PARAPA, on 10/31/2007, -2/+3Or freebase
  • optophobia, on 10/29/2007, -0/+1So are we now going to apply S.T.O.P to everything ?
    This was used the other day here : http://digg.com/offbeat_news/S_T_O_P_4_Steps_for_E ...

    Think up a new acronym
  • Motocompo, on 10/30/2007, -2/+3I usually play some Team Fortress 2 to stop negative thoughts...
  • BabyWookie, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1My dad is dead, fag.
