One way to turn a negative thought into a positive is by slowly changing your life path. By trying to follow a healthier lifestyle or plan either towards our mental health it could impact ourselves. For example, by  meditating or walking, or just by physically following a healthy channel, there definitely will be a change in our mental health once our body changes. Or how we think and how peaceful we feel.

Starting small makes a big difference. Looking on the bright side of a bad situation can have a positive outcome in your mental health and behavior. Instead of automatically assuming the worst. It takes time to slowly accept a mistake and move on forward with a positive mindset.

Keep in mind that your not always to blame. Negative thinking also takes the shape of personalizing. It happens when something bad happens and you instantly believe that you are to blame. Become inquisitive and inquire how or what to learn more, rather than making snap judgements.

Another type of negative thinking is Catastrophizing. Catastrophizing is where a person automatically thinks of a negative conclusion or more based on a limited amount of information given.
