We should make a conscious effort to not let negative thoughts pervade our mind. A negative thought creates negative chemicals and vibrations in our brain, and saps our energy. We can eliminate them by diverting our mind whenever a negative thought tries to enter. One possible way to reduce negative thoughts is by developing empathy i.e. the ability to think from the point of view of others. In most instances, we will realize that what the other person did was no different from what we would have done in the same position. Good intentions should be behind every act of ours. We should not do anything to hurt others, or let our actions be dictated by anger, jealousy, revenge or other such negative.
