Unfortunately, often the human brain literally "programmed" to negative as the bad thoughts that plagued him every day. And in this there is a certain reason, because a substantial part of the history of mankind is the ability to have negative thoughts allow people to recognize various threats.
Currently, however, we rarely encounter situations when lives are in danger. So negative thoughts to help a little, they just take away the human peace and happiness. But it turns out, there are 5 proven ways to deal with these thoughts:
