Common conclusions

If you are having negative thoughts, literally writing them down and throwing them away may seem silly, but it can make a huge difference.

You should spend more and more time outdoors, because spending time outdoors is a great way to purge yourself of negative energy. It is about stepping away from the chaos of life to spend time quietly reconnecting with both nature and your thoughts.

Smiling might be the last thing you want to do when you feel down, but sometimes faking it until you make it can really pay off, so you would be surprised at how much of an impact something as simple as smiling can have on a person. Rather than getting angry at your self for feeling down, you should accept those feelings and try to work through them.

Research shows that feeling grateful has a big impact on your levels of positivity and happiness, so even when you are experiencing a challenging time in your life, you can usually find things to be grateful for. You should also practice focusing on your strengths, because the more you can practice focusing on your strengths and not dwelling on mistakes you have made, the easier it will be to feel positive about yourself.

You should try meditation because

It seems that you are doing everything necessary in order to get rid of negative thoughts. If you still have persistent negative thoughts, consider seeing a therapist.
