I have struggled with negative thoughts my whole life--even when I was feeling happy, ping! Another one would pop into my head. I finally discovered a way of staving off these thoughts that works for me.
I went through my myriad of photos and I found one that simply brought me joy. There was no other emotional charge to the picture than pure love and joy. For me, it was a picture of my grandmother. Now, here's where it starts to sound wacky. But I'm telling you--it works. So I have always associated butterflies with my grandmother.
So now when I have those dark, shocking thoughts, I immediately repeat in my head "Nana is a butterfly. Nana is a butterfly." I imagine her face from that great picture attached to a butterfly body. I know, it sounds ridiculous. But it usually only take a few seconds and it's gone. If you're a Law of Attraction person, you'll know how important it is to get the bad thought gone FAST!
So there you have it... a visual plus something from your imagination equals happy thoughts!
