Hi. I am looking for any alternatives to get rid of anxiety and negative thoughts that constantly occur about any situation. The actions that followed make me doubting family and friends, and I ask them if something is wrong. They always assure me that nothing is wrong. They explain to me that they are busy. It made me realise that it was only in my head.
Any advice on how to get rid of negative thoughts? It would be helpful. Thank you! 
Distractions help me best. My therapist said when negativity creeps in do something I enjoy to distract my mind, pushing said thoughts away. It isn't always easy to find the motivation to actually do something but it does help to distract rather than sit and think.
Walking is one of the best distractions for me. If you have a camera you could take photos as you walk, I do this, sometimes I will listen to music on my phone if I'm not feeling over sensitive to sound.
Other distractions that might help:
((drawing)) I carry a little book with me and doodle in that, helps to distract me when feeling overwhelmed by anxiety.
I hope some of this will be of use to you. Anxiety is no fun.
Feel better soon
