Almost everyone has repetitive negative thoughts, and life is too precious to take all the 6,000 thoughts we have a day literally.

So rather than letting your spam sap your brainpower, try seeing it like you'd see blimps in the sky.

or singing it to your favorite upbeat tune.

It sounds silly, but when you play with your unhelpful thoughts, you loosen their grip.

If you want to be more all-encompassing, do you remember that song, What Is Love?

Baby, don't hurt me.

Can we all please join together at the count of three, singing What Are Thoughts?

Thoughts Can't Hurt Me?

What are thoughts?

Thoughts can't hurt me.

Thank you, that was amazing.

Even if you don't actually sing, changing your relationship with your insulting inner soundtrack and replacing dead ends with next steps will let you live more harmoniously.

Good luck ruminating while you're singing, right?

Two, try a half-smile.

Dialectical behavior therapists prescribe subtly smiling even when you don't actually feel happy.

See, your face doesn't just reflect how you feel, it shapes your emotional experience.

Research shows that Botox that prevents scowling improves mood.

No need to freeze your forehead.

Half-smiling is your free and natural version.

Try being miserable or battling road rage with a resting Buddha face.
