Modify the path of a destructive thought

Yesterday, coming back from my beautiful escape in the South of Rio, a bad news was awaiting me; a person close to me is hospitalised;

A biopsy will tell him in a few days or weeks if the prognosis is serious or not

The waiting, the unknown are his program

I clearly felt over the phone that anxiety fills his life now.

While we talked, words came from him, the words he puts on his anxiety;

words that speak of life and death, in a more or less explicit way

Then we talked about his daily hospital time filled with emptyness, with thoughts that spin, feeding themselves with the same distressing themes, the same questions without answers

What else? Yes, a TV, which remains unused; no books; no magasines; why bother ?

So? Alone with his questions, without further input

This situation could only worsen the current mental and physical state

I told him how much it is worth nourishing the spirit with other sounds, other images, other impressions than our own thoughts

Won't change anything ?

I think it will;  and that's your decision

I think that our brain needs outside inputs as much as inside inputs to function at its peak and help us

I think sometimes we have to force ourself sometimes, stop thinking, chosing an action and see what result we get 

The following day, this person told me

I did as you suggested me, I watched TV and read the newspapers, it was good

What a relief

All that we give "to eat" to our brain alters its operation and its reactions and act accordingly on our whole person

When we are trapped in a destructive operation, new inputs can be vital and easy to find
