ramshah;  Your 'entertaining' negative thoughts? Look no further, that's the key. I gather you can't control those thoughts any more than Pavlovs dogs could not control their reactions to Pavlovs bell?
Switch to your other mode of thinking, the natural mode ,not to your learned conditioned mode. See my post "Talking Is Natural".
As a child, did you procrastinate to learn to talk and walk? You learned to do that much later.
 Was there any stress involved when learning to talk and walk? Sure you fell a few times but got up and continued. Did you ever see an adult in a wheelchair that said they never learned to walk because they fell a few times and decided it 'was too hard' and gave up? We go to school and learn stress, memorization,etc. That overrides our natural abilities, we're conditioned instead.

well... if you can control it... the means by which i motivated myself... is to use anger toward myself in my thought process... i hold myself to impossible standards and berate myself for not managing to achieve those standards... i call myself a fool for not understanding something that I just learned...

xyn...

ramshah; You recognize the effects of negative thoughts; that's in your favor, many don't, and 'blame' the environment for their problems/troubles.
Where do your negative thoughts come from? We can't see "behind the scenes" but we can infer what's behind the scenes. From who can we learn to do so? From those who are successfully doing so. Scientists, they observed 'matter', the macro level, but could not see sub-atomic/energy that 'makes'causes' matter. Electronic technology demonstratres how well they understand and influence the sub-atomic level.
Our perceptions are not mirror images of the environment (no matter how much they appear to be; we only believe they are). We 'meet' the environment with expectations/evaluations that filter, color what we see the way sun glasses color what we look at and see.
Thoughts are artifacts we use; who 'makes' them? We can't see where they come from or how many are available from the same place. We only see them "on arrival".
( I may not be 'delivering' my understanding cogently enough ,yet, but I'm 'working' on it).

Carpenters, plumbers, etc, work with what they see; electronic 'folks' include what they can't see.
