Torah perspective
The mind rules the heart. When negative thoughts loop, the instinct is to fight them, but the Tanya teaches a different path: redirect your attention. The soul is naturally drawn to light, truth, and goodness. A single grateful thought, a moment of focus on something that lifts you, is enough to break the cycle. You do not need to defeat the darkness; you only need to look toward the light. That small shift is not an escape but a release. The soul already knows the way out. All it needs is for you to turn.
