What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
It’s easy to focus too much on negative things. But we choose what we think about. We have some control over our thoughts.
One way to deal with negative thoughts is to direct your mind to positive things. Think about what is right, what is admirable – anything that is praiseworthy.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
Having said that, there is a reason we have negative thoughts, and we shouldn’t suppress or ignore those reasons. If you’re feeling negatively about your life, it’s a sign that something needs to change. If you’re thinking negatively about yourself, you need to work on your self-esteem.
