How to cut negative thoughts?
Start with cutting down on the amount of news you take from various sources. Most people start their day with various news and social media. And of course, most of the news is bad news, such as robbery, earthquake etc. Then you see some news on to traffic and weather, which also aggravates the negativity in your mind. So during the whole coffee session, you have a lot of bad and negative news in your mind.
This bad news makes us feel tired and unmotivated. It also affects your overall performance for the whole day, Also how do we end our day before bed, we watch the news and various social media which also has a lot of bad news. So with all this negative information we went to sleep and find ourselves sleepless.
The state of mind we are in before we go to sleep carries forward to the next morning. So we start our day with a bad state of mind. We don’t need any of the bad news or negative information we are consuming. It will be perfectly fine if we avoid taking so much negative information from these sources.
Start taking motivational videos or audios, inspirational music and sites like motivationxpress.com to feed yourself good vibes. Reading inspirational books can also help you a lot. Search for biographies, success stories motivational speeches etc.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is a little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”~ Frank Herbert, Dune
You will start feeling good with these simple steps. Your next step is to reduce the use of TV and smartphone. A study shows that most people use these sources unnecessarily at a given time. They waste their valuable time without learning anything important. So our effort should be made towards less use of these resources and utilize the time invaluable activities.

The most dangerous source of negativity is our state of mind. Most of us generate a lot of self-talk throughout the day. We unnecessarily imagine a different scenario in our mind and start talking to ourselves which creates a lot of negative content in the mind. This negativity creates different types of emotions in us like hatred, fear and dissatisfaction. So all this negative state of mind prevents us to try new things related to our improvement.
Know your positive aspects
