Life always gives us another chance. It is called tomorrow xxxx

But sometimes tomorrow is darkened forever by yesterday

Sorry. This is bad

Our thoughts control our emotions!!! Yet knowing that why is it so blooming hard sometimes to stop thinking negative thoughts !!! Arrrghhhh.well if we had that power to switch them off permanently (negative thoughts )I'm sure we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves!!! Oh yes!!! Silly me!! We would all be really happy all the time 😀

Never sleep on top of an argument.

Arrange something nice to do after breakfast.

I agree that it's very important to try and think positively and to have a positive frame of mind etc, but I also agree with what Angep has said about how difficult this can be when our mind and thoughts seem to be completely overwhelmed by persistent, intrusive and self-sabotaging negative thoughts. This can be very disabling and energy sapping.

Does anyone have any useful tips about things which can help us to change direction when this tide of negativity, ruminating and over-thinking becomes too powerful and overwhelming? What works for you? I guess it's all about trying to relax, de-stress and distract ourselves? Often easier said than done though.
