I would worry about trying to turn negative thoughts into positive thoughts as this seems to be slipping into an OCD compulsion and it will make things worse. Just let the thought be there and acknowledge it. You don't have to react to it, agree with it or give it any validity. Just show that you've heard the thought and move on.

Thank you for your response. But I think this matter slightly different. I have to validate my thoughts and I am trying to modify it to be a positive one in the long run; just an attempt. Let's see what happens.
