7 Ways to Silence Your Negative Thoughts
There is so much negativity in the world that it’s hard not to be consumed by it all, which can make life stressful. We all know that having negative thoughts will get us nowhere in life, and all you get out of it is being more depressed and more cynical about the world.

Are destructive thought-patterns controlling your life?
A person has about 40,000- 60,000 thoughts a day. In a positive person, 70% of these thoughts are negative. Why? Fear! Yup, fear is the main motivator of these negative thoughts, because the brain is constantly thinking how it can prevent us from emotional pain, fear of being rejected, depression, loneliness, etc. Sadly, most people engage a lot of time (un)consciously automatically battling almost every negative thought, forgetting that thoughts are actually a phenomenon on their own.

Downside of Media
Town Criers. Word of Mouth. Newspapers. Magazines. Radio. Television. The Internet. Social Media. These are all forms of communication. Some are older than others, yet they are all effective in doing one thing; sharing news. This is a great thing for with each advancement, with each chapter of evolution in media, the world has become a smaller place. It has allowed everyone to become closer and share all that is important to us and all that we love.

Screw it! I'll just ask for help
When I first read Brené Brown's book "Rising Strong" I couldn't believe that someone could describe what I had been going through so perfectly. Someone finally put words on all the feelings I have had during my teenage and adult years—and on the feelings of probably hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

Quarantine thoughts
I have thought about starting to write, is my passion, even tho I don’t do it so often anymore. I don’t do a lot of things that I used to, I used to listen to music a lot thru a speaker in my room, I used to exercise at a gym, I used to go out to bars and talk to people, the simplest things I know but everything is different now; and then I realized, quarantine is very depressing, and nothing will be the same again.

Mental Health
Although mental health issues have a prevalence in all social strata, they are particularly prominent in the lower, middle and upper class strata. Although there are probably people in every strata of society that have a mental health issue that is not the focus of this article, it is likely that some are. The mental health care industry is more prevalent in the upper class than in the lower strata.
