We all have negative thoughts sometimes. It's normal and natural for our minds to go to dark places every now and then. But we don't need to fight those negative thoughts or try to control them. That will only make them feel bigger and more powerful.

Instead, the best approach is to simply start planting more good thoughts in your mind, one by one. Every time you have a positive, uplifting thought about something you appreciate or something that makes you feel good, that's like planting a little seed of light in your mind's garden.
