When your mind tries to dwell on unfortunate situations, sit in a place of peace. Settle the mind's pace. If it continues to ramble, breathe in five breathes and out six for a few minutes.
Consider your favorite natural location. Try a mountain stream with fresh water that cleanses and refreshes. Find yourself watching breaking waves at the sea. Take in the scenery around you. Smell the offerings of flowers from the breeze. Listen for birdsong.
Now wait and pay attention to thoughts that take over. What are the main themes that arrive?
Do you feel an emotional tone? Notice impulses that flare up. Ignore them.
Try now to imagine your mind as a tree. Healthy branches shine green. Brown ones need your attention by cutting. Those represent your distracting thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
Name them as you cut. Make a pact with yourself that you will use this imagery in the future to prune distracting emotions.
Take a breath and feel a spontaneous rush of a positive emotions.
Feel your intuition.
Go for Joy in the Day.
