How do I prevent negative thinking?

Preventing negative thinking can be very hard! Change your negative thoughts into positive ones. For example, if you are worried about what could go bad in a situation, think about what could go right.

To prevent negative thinking, I go outside and try to count as many beautiful things as I can. Finding beauty in the little things in life makes it easier to let go of the hard parts.

You cannot prevent negative thinking so much as you can create patterns postiive thinking. Through time and self-love, you can create new emotional patterns. This kind of deep-rooted growth take time, patience, love, and compassion. I'm really proud of you for seeking this path in yourself!

Switch out the negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. You can focus on the small little things in life as we are so caught up in life's events that we forget about them totally. Practise mindfulness and try out meditation to calm down and relax.

It starts with recognizing it in the first place. Learn to notice when it happens and think to yourself "Am I looking at things through 'gloomy glasses'? What are some more helpful ways to approach these thoughts?". It really is a practice thing. You have to train yourself to do it. Eventually the negative thinking stops being your default. That doesn't mean it isn't sometimes there, but its much more manageable.

It's important that you directly address the reason behind these thoughts rather than to prevent or ignore negative thoughts, What types of emotions do these thoughts elicit? How are these thoughts and emotions affecting you? Then, once you figure that out, accept that you're having these negative emotions and, instead of dwelling on them, simply let them go. We all experience negativity and stress from time to time, but it's the way that we deal with it that's important.

To prevent negative thinking limit being around negative circumstances and people. If you can not avoid negative people and circumstances consciously think positive to offset the negative.

I block out all the negative by only surrounding myself with a positive vibe, and outlet. I talk to people who build me up, instead of bringing me down.
