How to avoid negative thoughts?

Is this the most common question you are asking yourself most of the time? then the best advice is to consult a Doctor.

For people who get less often this question, the answer is self-reflection.

Try to see the origins of the question yourself, a simple example more often students ask themselves will I fail the exam?

The best answer to this question is again asking a question to ourselves.

Am I prepared sufficiently for the exam?

Did I do enough work to satisfy a good preparation?

As you regressively ask these questions to yourself and resolve them in a timeline, with a checklist, soon you will be busy working hard rather than thinking unnecessarily.

the same applies to other life situations.

Remember for every problem there is a resolution path, it is our duty to enquire and research and execute a plan.

We know there are unfortunate situations where variables are not in your control, however, try to understand “Time will heal everything”
