100 Rules of Happiness: Rule 68

Improve your mental hygiene. 
Creating a healthy and hygienic mental environment means clearing your mind of clutter, negative thoughts, patterns, feelings and behaviors. May sound like a lot of work, but just as a man riding a giant and powerful elephant can learn to control it, you too can learn to control your thoughts by choosing them more deliberately and with care.    Stop #NegativeThoughts the moment they start to arise. Say no to them and immediately replace them with a positive thought. May seem like a forced effort in the beginning, but soon it will start to flow naturally. Similarly, avoid speaking ill of people, stop yourself from repeating #NegativePatterns, behaviors and indulging in #BadHabits – and replace each of them with a more useful or positive statement, thought or action.
