Why does repeating that I am sad keep me feeling sad?
The mind learns what you keep saying
The mind takes in whatever you repeat, so repeating 'sad' makes it understand it must stay sad. Repeat 'happy' instead, and stay open, blooming and happy.
If you say 'sad, sad, sad' again and again, the mind will understand that it has to stay sad.
