Each of us has an automated thinking system. Sogou Encyclopedia describes automated thinking in this way, which refers to unconscious, unintentional, natural, and effortless thinking. When we have a lot of experience with a task or information, we can use a effortless, unconscious automation process to complete the task and process information. For example, using a schema of a certain group, automatic processing of the group members can be quick and simple, but accuracy is easily ignored, such as stereotyped impressions.

Three cognitive experiences can produce different ways of thinking: one, causing the stimulation event, two, causing the fantasy, associative memories, and three, causing the body sensation. We often hear mentally ill patients say that they have not thought it intentionally, but their brains will be uncontrollable, and a bunch of negative thoughts will automatically appear, leading to negative emotions and further causing negative behaviors. They will say that I can't control it either, but if they carefully analyze these negative thoughts, although they have not thought about it now, they can still find that these negative thoughts have always been their own thoughts and understanding. Once they encounter something or someone, if they do not achieve their goals or wishes, such as some discomfort in their body, they will doubt whether they have incurable symptoms? Excessive care. I am worried that I can’t get into a good university in my studies and that I will finish my studies in the future and there will be no good job and a good future. When talking about a partner, you are not confident, worried that the other party will look down on you, or you will dislike your appearance, study, family background, financial income, etc. In terms of interpersonal communication, worrying about offending others, thinking that a look or a certain sentence of others is directed at yourself, not friendly to yourself, etc. All of the above are your own subjective assumptions, lack of confidence, and have been in negative understanding for a long time, negative emotional experience, which naturally leads to negative automated thinking. French philosopher Voltaire has a famous saying, "Life is full of thorns. The only way I know is to quickly walk through those thorns. The more we think about the misfortunes we encounter, the more they will harm us." This sentence profoundly tells us that we should not stay on negative things in our minds, but let them pass as soon as possible. The wisdom of Buddhism means letting go, and not obsessing it.
From the perspective of pathology and biology , there are reports that the human brain nerves are developing and changing throughout their lives. The quality of the brain development depends on the selectivity of our thinking. Choose a positive way of thinking to promote the healthy development of the brain neural network , and you will feel happy in life. Long-term negative thinking allows one's brain neural network to establish an automated negative thinking network. This is the root of mental illness. This automated negative neural network is built by our own long-term negative understanding, so we must be responsible for our long-term negative thinking.
Since the brain nerves have been developing throughout their lives, then take action quickly and build a positive and positive thinking network. Voltaire also has a famous saying, "The most precious wealth of mankind is hope. Hope reduces our troubles and draws a vision of fun for us to enjoy the current fun." This tells us that by putting our energy into a promising future, first establishing our correct goals, believing in ourselves, and being able to achieve it through hard work, changing everything with our actions, and exchange a happy life.
