We feel bad when we think negatively.

Negative thinking can make us feel bad because it causes stress hormones like cortisol to be released.

These hormones are intended to aid our survival by enhancing attentiveness and focus. However, when we are constantly stressed, it can lead to significant health concerns such as anxiety disorders, depression, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and even cancer.

The idea is to teach your brain not to spend time thinking about things that make you unhappy. 

One approach is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

CBT assists patients in developing methods to change their negative thought habits. It should become simpler to refocus on more positive thoughts with practice and time.
