10 ways of erasing those negative thoughts :

1. Forget the past.

- You won’t be happy if you carry the burden of the past. Did you make mistakes? Did you have terrible experiences? Whatever they are, you should let them go. There’s nothing you can do about the past, so you’d better let them go and focus your energy on the present.

2. Be who you are.

- You can only be happy if you become who you are. Don’t live other people’s life by trying to meet their expectations. People may expect you to have certain job or certain way of living but don’t be intimidated by them. Find who you are and be yourself.

3. Have positive mind. <- this very suit my boyfriend. LOL

- Happy people know how to control their mind. They don’t let negative thoughts come in. While a situation may seem bad to others, happy people look at them in a positive way. They always believe that no matter how bad a situation seems, there is always something positive to take from it. Your mind can make or break you, so guard it well

4. Beware of small things.

- This is very true. Often it’s not big things that ruin your happiness. It’s the small things that do. Perhaps you don’t like someone or break some “small” promises. But be more open-minded. Don't let "small" things ruin your friendship or life.

5. Make others happy.

- This is my favorite secret of happiness. The way to being happy is to make others happy first. The more you help other people and make them happy, the more you will be happy. Happiness doesn’t come through selfishness but through selflessness. You reap what you sow.

6. Act as if.

- "Act as if you are and you will become such," said Leo Tolstoy. So choose one trait or habit that you would like to change; for example, negativity. Promise yourself that for one week you will act like you are a positive, upbeat person. Try to say what an optimistic person would say, do what he would do, act how he would act.

7. Emotions.

- Don't bottle them up. The important thing about getting over depression is to start expressing your feelings. When you display your emotions, it will make you feel good. Consider your emotions as a building. If you keep building more and more floors of negativity by withholding your emotions, with a weak foundation, the building will fall apart. With sharing, you can avoid that collapse.

8. Hugs from the opposite sex.

- It has been proven that being hugged by a member of the opposite sex produces a sense of well-being. It has especially helped in suicide-prone cases where the victim has lived happily for years after just one such embrace.

9. Let go.

- Getting rid of the excess baggage leads to release and you feel light about life. Trust yourself, love yourself, accept not being in control and become aware of the abundance of the universe.

10. Searching for the one.

- The first step is to be happy and content with yourself. Do exercises on self-esteem if required, but you must have a feeling of self-worth. Only then will you be worthy of any relationship, especially with a soulmate.
