Controlling Negative Thoughts

When Negative thoughts/fears come to mind then you find difficult to stop them. You can temporarily put your mind to focus on something else by watching movie or listening to loud music but this has temporary effect, for sometime u will be able to put these unwanted thoughts under carpet but later they will again appear and with more intensity because instead of facing them first time you escaped from them by putting your mind to something else. 

What happens if you try to run away from a fight, this will make your enemy feel stronger and you appear weaker. Same way this action of yours actually in a way resulted in making you feel weaker than your enemy. Escaping may make sense if you are sure that you will not face the enemy again..lol..but here that is not the case they will again appear if not when you are awake but when u sleep they will find their way to stand again. This is default behavior of mind if it is not polished with knowledge of wisdom.

Actually you can't control your mind from the level of mind so next time you see that some fear or negative thoughts come up in your mind just acknowledge it that I am getting such fear or negative thoughts. Be with them let them come don't stop. Just observe what is coming and don't let your intellect make any judgement to it. If you keep doing it you will see such unwanted garbage will dissolve very fast. So just observe and be with them. In mind, whatever you resist will persist and in the end make yourself aware that I am human and it is okay to get such fears or thoughts , nobody on this earth is spared from not having bad thoughts but how we treat or react to such feelings is what differentiates us. Some are god gifted and others can learn. People who don't seek to know suffer whole life.
