Those are all valid points. I learned years ago to replace negative thoughts as quickly as possible with positive ones. It is not always easy, yet through out the years I have become quite good at it. I also find not looking at a problem dead in the face helps. I look for the solutions. As someone once said look for the rainbow in the rain!

Good call, it's better to control the thought before you put it into words and then actions.. And practice of thought control is a life long thing that you get better at all your life, its being aware and in control of thoughts that counts..
