It is impossible to completely get rid of negative thoughts, but you can learn to cope with them, separate them from yourself, and not act on their instructions, thanks to mindfulness practices and stress management techniques. This in turn allows you to reduce stress levels and improve sleep, improving your overall physical condition.

If stress is not chronic, then actions that activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for inhibition, will help well, such as: calm and slow breathing, meditation, washing with cold water, muscle relaxation, stretching, light physical activity, for example, a walk in the fresh air, switching attention to what brings pleasure and relaxation.

Each person may have their own reasons: someone wants to understand themselves better, accept some of their characteristics; someone needs help to survive a stressful or tragic event, the loss of a loved one; someone may feel that they have no strength to perform familiar, routine actions or what they liked before no longer brings pleasure, someone needs help to cope with addiction. There may be many reasons. I think the main thing that unites them all is the realization that the usual methods of self-help do not work, the old way does not work, and I do not know how to do it in a new way.
