How do you control your thoughts?

- Write them down. When you find your demeanor changing, and you are getting frustrated or angry, stop! Pick up a piece of paper and write it down. I am so angry because....... It makes me so mad when my colleague talks to me like I am an idiot! Whatever it is, however you feel, write it down. Get it out of your head. Once it is out of your head, discard it. Burn it, shred it, crumple it and let it go.
- You can imagine putting those thoughts in a bubble or a balloon and watching it go up up up and disappear.
- If you believe in angels you can imagine giving your thoughts to them and thus letting them go. If you have a mentor, you can give it to them to release it.
- Interrupt your thoughts immediately. When you hear the negativity start immediately to shift your focus. Turn on music, tell yourself to ‘shut up’, exercise, cancel the thought, and follow it up with a reinforcing thought. Do it with intensity and do it with authority.

Meditation is the best way to learn how to control our thoughts. Meditation involves the art of concentration and quietening the mind. In meditation we not only try to control our thoughts but we also can bring to the fore our inner qualities of peace and oneness. If we can invoke the calming power of our own heart, then we use an alternative force to take the place of the negative mind.

Take a deep breath. Try to think about what exactly has been bothering you. Is it worth giving a thought about? If yes, try finding a solution for it. If you don't find it yourself, try seeking advice from the person you confide in the most and implement the solution. If the same thought keeps bothering you again, think about the solution offered.
Develop a positive outlook towards everything in life. This will make a better person.
