How can I distract myself in healthy ways from negative thoughts?

Its all about you .Its so simple what you think is what you become there's no line between you and your thinking and i guess you always feel disturbed, helpless, you don't have to worry at all you have to start thinking positive by all your own. I can suggest you music and some good movies, Spend time with your family,friends or love ones or by doing the things you love is the greatest way. You have to defend yourself from negativity. You don't need to worry at all. Believe in yourself and always remember the best is yet to come. Stand up every time you fall Wipe your tears every time you cry, Find yourself every time you feel lost, Love your self every time you feel ignored. as its all started with you and only you can end up these things.

Well, I guess we've all heard about thinking of more positive things, figuring out what you like about yourself or your situation in general, zooming out and appreciating the bright parts of the big picture. If I hear you correctly though, that's not what you want - which makes sense 'cause these things still require that extra push to redirect your thoughts and you most likely won't always have the power for that. However, there's some things beyond that I personally found to be helpful, like meditating and working out. That's still big words, I know - but if you don't feel ready for it, just start on a lower level. For example, meditation can also mean nodding your head whilst listening to a good song on your headphones. What I'm trying to say is, whether it's a predominantly mental or physical activity, just do stuff you like - read a book, go play with your pet if you have one, train with your team if you're in some sort of club - but also try out little activities you normally wouldn't - for example, you could call a friend you haven't seen for some time, ask them how their day/week/year has been and try to focus on their story for a moment instead of yours. They're probably going to be pleasantly surprised and you will have something for your mind to play with. I hope this is of some help to you - or that at least reading this response distracted you for a moment ;)

I find that a good way to distract myself from negative thoughts is by doing something that I love to do, for example if I am having a bad day and start to think about it then I will put on a happy movie or something that I am interested in, or I will cook something so that my mind is focused elsewhere instead of what is bothering me.

The negative thoughts come as a result of a idle mind. You should first find out what activities make you feel happiest and take part in them. Most importantly avoid being alone.

Doing your normal routine, exercising, and adopting healthy habits! Also...it may sound scary, but allow a few moments in the day to rest and reflect. Think of something you enjoyed about the day, however small it may be. Talk to someone you love.

Exercise is said to be a very helpful technique as when you do, it can release endorphins and other chemicals in the body which help to fight sadness. Or if not, simply doing something that you enjoy, whether that reading, acting, listening to music etc.
