It is important to change that perspective and find positivity in things for our own mental peace. Negative thoughts can slow us down and make us anticipate problems where there is none. “Shifting negative thoughts requires a mental workout. and it can be a hard one. So how do we fix it?

Engage in cognitive restructuring and embrace mindfulness to foster a healthier mental landscape,” wrote Therapist Maddie Spear.(Unsplash)
