Great tips. Meditation has definitely helped me. And listening to music to change the mood as well. Interestingly enough, science supports the idea that meditation can help us feel happier. For instance, scientists have discovered that certain areas of the brain light up constantly in Buddhists. These areas are associated with positive emotions and good mood. One scientist from the University of California San Francisco Medical Center discovered that “experienced Buddhists were less likely to be shocked, flustered, surprised or as angry as other people”, due to meditation.

I am almost fifty years old, married with two children. I am unfortunately a person with lots of negative thoughts. It makes my life and my family’s life a misery. I cannot help being negative and a little problem becomes hell. I am often introvert, lacking of confidence and I used to be very shy (at fifty shyness is not so strong). Resulting from this, many people have been nasty to me in every ways which have made my hope of getting better even harder. I have tried everyting; praying (because I am a believer in God), meditating, doing reiki, etc. God or praying has never helped me.
Thinking negatively is an illness and very difficult to get rif of.

Great tips. Prayer and meditation help me quite a bit. It is unwise, and negative to demean and label something childish if it does not work for you.

Prayer helps me tremendously… I know that God is listening and working on my behalf for my good, and that things will eventually change. It is up to me to be patient and let Him work things out. And He will and always does.

This is a great post and some valuable information. Negative thoughts are like weeds, if you don’t get rid of them early they’ll over run the garden of your mind. The sooner you remove them the better. Start by tracking your thoughts, get rid of those that don’t work for you or don’t help you achieve your goals. Negative thoughts are the kind that get you down, make you feel like you’re no good or that life is hard.
Replace these with positive thoughts and focus on how you can make your life better. The sooner you get rid of those negative thoughts the better.

At a time in life , when the pressures of corporate world were getting to me, my fiance introduced me to this post.
” Have realistic expectations and learn to accept failure” . Never has truth been said so plainly and effectively. I guess most of my problems and restlessness is routed to the simple fact that I push myself harder than I ought to. I can never relax and am too harsh on myself. I cannot even concentrate on a simple prayer with a million thoughts going on in my head, I guess the only person who can save me from snapping / burning out is myself. I need to stop.
