This is so very true – and it seems especially true when you have a negative thought in your head. It can just grow and grow and is so hard to get rid of. The trick is to take that thought (and yes, smash it like an icky bug) and replace it with something more cheerful. However that is incredibly hard, but no matter how often those negative thoughts keep creeping into your head, your job is to keep replacing them with positive, happier thoughts. Eventually those happier thoughts will take root and you’ll find things improving.
