take your mind off the subject and do something you enjoy with positive people around you. do not repress these feelings or bottle them up as it's best to talk to someone close about them.

You can prevent negative thinking by focusing on the positive aspects of your situation. For example, if you are having a tough time with reaching a goal or are feeling extremely stressed, maybe you can decide to either reward yourself personally when it is over, or think about the natural rewards that will follow when you are done. Sometimes, looking to the future can be scary, but you can also find comfort in the future as well.

Make a list of all the positive things in your life including family, friends, pets, even just happy memories. Keep that list near you, and when negative thoughts come your way, use the items on that list to overcome yourself with happiness and positive thoughts.

I tend to distract myself and do the things I love. It helps me to keep my mind off of the negative thoughts I will produce and it makes me feel good, too.

Imagine thoughts like a bird, and your brain like your nest. Birds can land in the nest, but don't let them stay there; it's your nest, not theirs. Let thoughts come and go, but don't let them take over your nest. Even actually envisioning a bird leaving the nest can help; it's what I do when I can't stop thinking about something.

Learn to recognize when the negative thoughts are presenting themselves. The next time that you feel negative, take a moment to notice how you feel. Do you fingers clench? Do you grit your teeth?
