5 Mindfulness Techniques to Overcome Negative Thinking

We often find ourselves contemplating negative thoughts. Breaking the pattern of these thoughts can become difficult at times. However, these mindfulness techniques may help you overcome them:

Rather than trying to suppress them, gently observe the thoughts as a separate entity from you as they come. Identifying your thoughts may help understand and overcome them.

When we are anxious due to negative thoughts, our breathing becomes shallow. Straighten up yourself and focus on breathing deeply instead of focusing on your thoughts.

Practice meditation regularly and incorporate it into your daily routine. Even a few minutes of meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mindset to overcome negative thoughts.

Our mental state can also affect us physically and make our body tense. Relax for some time and loosen all parts of your body one by one to ease the tension and distract from negative thoughts.

.You can also practice mindfulness while walking, When you go for a walk, focus on how your legs feel when they hit the ground. Observe other sensations you may feel like the cool breeze and warm sun.
