How to stop thinking or overthinking negative thoughts?

Understand, Mind work is to think. So its always going to think. Our responsibility is not to stop thinking but to project our mind to think positive even in worst situation. Mind is a part of body if used properly can do wonders and if not used properly can give you worst things.

Mind is going to think about future what will happen in my future? Will I have satisfying Job , Will I have good Partner?, Will I have more money? OR about the past, this had happened to me, That might again happen to me. When that thing had happened, I would have reacted in this manner and so on. Just remember, In future we don’t know what will happen and Past is just gone, thinking about past will not change your past. Accept past, learn from it and move on. 

Our Job is not to think about this but be in Present Moment or in Present. If you are thinking negative that means you are not giving any work to your mind. Mind is idle and thinking about past/future. You are eating but you are mentally somewhere else, you are driving but your mind is somewhere else. Don’t be Physically here and emotionally , mentally somewhere.

• What should I be doing? Suppose you are  having food, see to that you are 100% present have a taste and chew your food properly. 
• Take interest in everything you do. Even if they are your everyday activities. Ask yourself Why am I doing this? Incase of eating, your answer will be I want to be healthy I need vitamins, proteins for my body to work. 
• Habit of being in present moment doesn't come  easily. You have to practice it. Add it to your "To-do-list".
• Whenever you go in Past / Future moments. Ask yourself "Is being in past/future is helping me?
• Do everything you do with immense joy, instead of trying to do it all in misery.
