Sorry, I don't know the source anymore, but I read about stopping your negative thoughts the other day. A group of people was asked to think about a situation that made them really angry. Everyone did, re-imagining whatever had made their blood boil in the past and as you may imagine all those negative feelings came flooding back. When someone suddenly screamed 'STOP!!!'.
Everyone was startled and when asked everyone had stopped thinking about that situation instantly.
Unfortunately we do not have somebody going through life with us at all times (well, our friends and family can indeed offer that kind of service at some times though! If we let them), but really we can call 'STOP' at ourselves, too. It sounds simple enough: increasing your awareness of your own thoughts and pulling yourself up on it immediately. Stopping and letting go.
