Rabbi Nachman Teaches us as follows: "Good thoughts come from the Good inclination, negative thoughts come from the evil inclination"
Dough will become 'Chametz' when you don't touch it for 18 minutes. Within this period of time, you can bake Matza out of it. If 18 minutes pass, it is considered as Chametz and you can't bake Matza out of it.
Same thing with our thoughts.
A negative thought should never stay too long in our heads. Push it out, kick it out, replace it with any kind of other good thought. Rebbe Nachman teaches us that we can only have one thought in our heads at a time. A bad thought comes quickly replace it with a different thought, a beautiful nature scene, the gravesite of a Tzaddik or the face of a loved one or Tzaddik.
Don't let it ''chametz'' your brain, and it doesn't have to take more than a millisecond to reject it.
If you'd feel a little drop of cyanide on your tongue, how fast would you try to get rid of it?
Cyanide kills. So do bad thoughts.
It takes away your optimism.
It takes away your freedom of thought.
It takes away your joy.
It brings you not to think straight. Never make a decision when you are in a state of sadness or depression.
Pesach is the time of redemption. Redemption from our bad habits and from our bad thoughts. Let us all use the assistance that this time of the year brings us to win the battle between the good thoughts and the bad thoughts.
