Moving on to positive thoughts 

Cognitive behavioural therapy known as CBT techniques- identifying, replacing negative thoughts- have been found to be very effective in helping people to think more positively. Acceptance and commitment recognises that when you accept and let go of the negative, unhelpful thoughts, you will let go of the emotions and allow the rational, logical part of your mind start working. - To start thinking more helpful positive thoughts regularly.

Instead of getting caught up with your thoughts and struggle with them, just notice them and let them go.
Imagine you’re a sheriff in an old western town. You notice an outlaw strolling the street. You don’t challenge him, you simply acknowledge the outlaw and calmly and firmly encourage him to keep walking, right on out of town. You can do the same with negative thoughts those unhelpful thoughts, you simply acknowledge and release them. Instead of challenging the negative thoughts. If they came back you look at them in more Positive tell them like the sheriff to move on- keep moving on.

When you notice negative thoughts entering your mind, say ‘stop!’ To yourself.

If you’re alone, you can say it out loud, but it has to be effective when you say it in your head. Images can help - for example, a bright red stop sign that you picture in your mind’s eye when intrusive thoughts begin to appear.

Use a thought-changing prompt.
When you notice that negative thoughts or images are starting to enter your mind, to prompt you to come up with alternative, more positive helpful thoughts.

Try one of these:

If you’re sitting down, stand up.

If you’re standing, sit down.
if you’re indoors, go outdoors or different room.

If you’re outside, change the direction you walking.
