<human>:  How do I get rid of recurring negative thoughts?
<bot>: One way to get rid of recurring negative thoughts is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness involves staying present in the moment, observing your thoughts without judgement, and accepting that they are simply passing by. You can also practice cognitive-behavioral therapies to help reframe and replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. Other ways to combat negative thinking include engaging in positive self-talk, limiting your exposure to negative media, and taking time to relax, practice relaxation techniques, and focus on gratitude.
