We are what we think." How many times do you think of positive things? Have you ever given thought to the type of thoughts you have?

Just like in the real world, the world in our minds is real. You cannot have both positive and negative thoughts at the same time. Negativity brings us down when we should actually be enjoying life and getting the most out of it. Mental de-cluttering is really about getting rid of your worries, bad memories, fears and disappointments, and starting on a new footing where the past doesn't matter.

Focus more on the things you have control over; if you cannot handle something now forget about it altogether. — Jesse Jacobs
