    Try not to try and get rid of negative thoughts completely. That's an impossible task you'll only end up being frustrated. Just see them as passing clouds and distance yourself from them by saying to yourself 'I notice that I'm having...thought' then replace it with a more positive and opposite one. I hope that helps. I'm learning to do it myself

    Hi Octavia I am a big fan and I also want to say thank u for how listening to you has helped me in my personal life journey I don't know what self-love meant until I listened to you so please I will like to have a chat with you if that's ok with you.
