I'm going to try thinking nothing but positive thoughts for the next month, has anyone tried this and gotten good results?

Don't try to stop your negative thoughts. Just work to promote your positive ones. Let the negative ones come and go but don't dwell on them. Treat the negative thoughts like clouds in the sky. They'll always be there and they'll come in different sizes , but they just float on by and really don't alter your day whatsoever.

Negative thoughts happen, but focus on positive thoughts, actions, and feelings. My advice is to...do it and see how great life can be. Good job getting here.

Think positive thoughts with regard to the things you can control and change like”I’m gonna talk to that girl and whatever happens it will be alright and I’ll be able to handle it”.

just try to stop all negative thoughts.

Speaking from experience that's probably gonna bite you in the ass sooner or later. Besides, since our minds are wired so that we have to think about a concept before deciding what to do with it, you can't really stop negative thought.

Anyone who did this have any tips on what to do if I catch myself thinking negatively?

Allow them to exist, but don't focus excessively on them. A simple method to achieve this is to give yourself a defined time slot where you can be as negative as you want, but when the time is up you have to focus on being positive. When I was actively doing this I had half an hour each evening where I allowed myself to be as negative as I wanted, and sorted through all the negative stuff I had caught myself thinking during the day. Half an hour should be maximum, otherwise you risk sinking back into the negativity you're trying to get away from.

I also recommend meditation, as it will allow you to have a clearer mind and make it easier to observe things without getting caught up in all the emotions you normally assoiciate said things with.
