How to Replace Negativity with Positivity
The mind is restless, running into its own monologue throughout the day. It is full of thoughts, watching people through the sidelines, taking note of their behavior, their good or bad words. A thoughtful mind in a restless person constantly analyzes situations around and has its own interpretations.
Sometimes negative thoughts like fear, anger, jealousy, bitterness and frustration become permanent inhabitants of the mind and trouble it so much that they leave negativity around the person, leaving him pessimistic, stressed, skeptical and disagreeable. This
negativity is needed to be controlled or changed into positivity at any cost otherwise
it will make a person confused, angry and frustrated always. Some of the measures you can
take to bring positivity around you are as follows;

7. Write down your feelings
It is a journaling technique to take out all the negative emotions by writing them down. Don't stop till you are done with writing down all the inner angst on paper. Writing your feeling at a stretch helps to revisit the negative thought and takes out all your grudges and negativity towards it. Don't try to re-read it else you will again get back those negative thoughts. Use paper and pen to write your feelings but surely not the computer.
8. Meditate
Meditation is called the power of positive thinking. It brings out the incredible force hidden inside you to achieve happiness, success and contentment. The negative emotions of anger, worry, fear and anxiety clogging our thoughts can be processed and changed into a positive attitude by meditation which brings love, health and success. It makes you gritty and tough to fight adversities in your life.
Don't force positive thoughts on anyone or even yourself, identify what negative thoughts are doing to your thinking and behavior. Change your habits gradually and don't try to be a perfectionist. Live happily and purposefully in life.
