It is the matter of one’s choice as which one to attain and which one to suppress. Even though apparently nobody wants to attain negativity, but when you suppress one the other becomes dominant. The moment your positive vibes start fading, the negative ones start dominating your mind and body. Which eventually reflects in your actions. This is how the journey of a negative or pessimistic personality begins.

Change Your Utterances
It is true that your words often are a reflection of your thoughts. This fact is applicable the other way too ‘what you speak affects your thoughts’. In order to release negative thoughts, you need to put a stop at using words such as; impossible, no, never, at-all, and so on. Instead, you should start replacing these words by something that gives a positive message to your mind. For instance, instead of saying, “It is impossible, nobody has done this yet”, you can say “nobody has done this yet, maybe I can make it possible”. This positive message is sent to your brain and in return, your brain sends you a positive idea to achieve what you want. You can always replace negative words with something positive. You can simply note down all the negative words you use frequently and prepare a list of positive words as their replacement.

Take Action
If you have a positive thought, idea or emotion in your mind, it is best to bring it into action at the earliest. The longer you take to act on it, the more the probability of negative thoughts invading your mind. You must have noticed a situation wherein you are supposed to take a decision and suddenly you realize that there are hundreds of thoughts in your mind with all ‘ifs’ and “buts” and you have to make a lot of mental efforts to make a final decision. This is nothing but an invasion of negative thoughts on your positive idea. Therefore, it is always good to execute your idea before it is invaded and killed in your mind.

Engage in Things That Make you Happy
“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”- JK Rowling.
You need to create your own light which you can turn on every time you are going through dark times. This light can be anything that makes you happy such as a positive memory, a gift, a picture, a movie, a song, food or perhaps a person. You can create a list of things that make you happy and every time you are surrounded by negativity, just bring out this list and start reminding yourself that it is only that one thing bothering you today, but there is a number of things that can make you happy at the same time. This is extremely helpful in balancing the negative emotions and thoughts.
