I want to be positive, but I'm tired of thinking positively!

Hello. Let me ask you a question.
I tend to feel depressed, so I've been reading websites and books that guide positive thinking, but recently I've started to feel tired when I read them.

I'm in a state where I'm tired of the silent “feeling of pressure.”

It just makes me feel like I want to spend a pleasant time...
I would like your guidance on how to deal better with this kind of situation.

When I wanted to be positive, I turned my eyes away from reality.

It is said that they are tired of positive thinking
I think that's overdoing something.

When a person encounters a painful event
I'm depressed
If you find yourself in an uncertain situation
It makes me anxious.

Confront reality and overcome
By deciding how to live
I think you'll be able to spend a cheerful time.

First, do it properly
It's about getting depressed.

Then they face what makes them depressed
Is it a painful reality
Is it your own way of receiving
I don't know that

Even though it's a depressing situation
If you try to force yourself to cheer up
I think it would cause a different problem.

At the point where I wanted to be positive
I'm turning my eyes away from reality.

First, get really depressed, and then deal with it.

That's why I spent my time cheerfully
I think they're connected.

The state of “I think...” and the state of telling myself “I have to think...” are completely different. The former is accompanied by a sense of openness, while the latter is accompanied by a sense of oppression. Let me give you an example. A: “I think I'm suited for this job.” B: “I have to think I'm suited for this job.” If you work in a state A, you'll have the strength to get through even when things are somewhat difficult, and after crossing the mountain pass, your walking legs are even stronger and stronger. If you work in a B state, you feel that even a small problem is a big burden, and while fighting stress, you finally cross the mountain pass, and after crossing it, you feel flustered. However, there aren't many things we can do in an A state. So, even though it's actually B, there are various “training” laws where you try to do your best while telling yourself that it's A. However, training is difficult because I can't fool myself, who knows that it is “actually B,” and it's hard to get away from the conflict between the surface mind and subconscious mind.
Now, Buddhism eliminates assumptions. The sutras, manners, and ascetic practices are all taught, but at that point, it's just a matter of “knowing.” There is an idea that says, “All Phenomena, the world is essentially clean, and I am also essentially clean.” If you were given this, what would it mean? While thinking for myself, I will continue to contemplate it without error as an ascetic practice. Then, at some point, “is that so!” I realized that and I was able to open my mind's field of vision all at once. The important thing is that there is no obsession anywhere in this ascetic practice. Even if it is “thought” as a sutra, it only means that it is like this as a procedure, there is no coercion, and there is no need to forcibly eliminate the gap between the sense of reality and the content of the sutras. In the first place, sutras explain the world of the Buddha itself and how to enter the world of the Buddha, and it is natural that they are far from the real world where we live without communication. However, the reason why recognition of the fact that they are far apart is not a pain at all because the other side of the sutras is a world of liberation away from suffering.
The world of sutras gives you a glimpse of the good world “before you know it,” and if you open up a window to look at, you are happy, and the spirituality within you is activated, so the sense of openness only increases. Why don't you search for a temple you're related to and be given a sutra by a monk that you feel you can trust? Please walk the ascetic path of this world with a good sense of openness.

Overdoing begets overdoing

Thank you for your hard work, KN
I'll tell you what I think

There are times when I receive such consultations
What I'm telling you at that time
It means you don't have to force yourself to be positive
Being human, we have a variety of emotions
That's me too! It's you

Let's be depressed when we're depressed!
Let's have fun when it's fun!
Wouldn't that be fine

Don't be impatient now
Please accept the present
That's fine!!!

And now, isn't it good just to have a feeling that you want to spend a cheerful time
Just having that feeling is fine!

Overcoat of Thoughts

Recently, there have been a lot of products that eliminate odors in commercials.
I'm sorry for the strange analogy, but now let's say that for some reason there is an amazing source of smell in your room right in front of you. Moreover, let's say it is, for example, a huge lost object from a dog, let's say it's a dog.
The fact that Oini exists is true.
There is a lot of oony there, and the lost object where the olony originated, the dog, also exists properly as a real thing.
why? WHY? what does that mean? I have to do something about this situation, I want to change it, I want to make it something different! I want to adapt and remake an ideal environment! There are almost a lot of people who think that.
But first and foremost, the best thing is to stay safe with that truth as it is! (Are you cleaning up?) In roughly modern times, we do makeup, remake, dramatize, repaint, and fabricate in an attempt to create an ideal situation. But first, let's try to calm down to the point where we can run silly without adding emotions or judgment as it is.
Right after that, I'll clean up properly, too. I will replace the air. Wipe clean. And they also do Fabry Zero. However, it involves applying a different oily (scent) and misleading the brain so that another scent is pushed to the front. Instead of losing the source of Oily itself, just applying it doesn't mean that it has been resolved from the root.
If you observe things fundamentally, it's a problem because it's inside a room. If it's in a forest or field, there's no problem, and it's even a good fertilizer. In other words, there are no positives or negatives to that dog; it's just a dog that only cares.
Being able to see things like this is the answer.
It's a positive thought to inadvertently stick to your hands when cleaning this up, and while thinking “gag,” it's a positive thought to go positive with ❝ luck ❞ or ❝ twitteru twitteru twiteru ↑ ❞.
However, if you keep it as it is, you don't have to force yourself to be positive. It's not even negative.
Put yourself in a world before positives and negatives occur. This is Hotke Vision.
Oh, I wash my hands properly too. Nor does it mean that you can stay okay with your luck.
※Positive thinking plus thinking is an overcoat of thought, so let's first enjoy the clean state before applying positive negative thoughts.
