Whenever you start thinking in a negative way, stop it immediately and try to think about something you like to do. Negative thinking will bring misery in life, so try to prevent negative thoughts. Concentrate on doing something useful to avoid negative thinking. By trying this in a constant manner can help in controlling the mind.
