You must be in a healthy environment as well for your well being!
The best prevention in keeping your mind away from negative thoughts is by careful and focused conditioning. For example, sublimation could be one effective method. Doing something that peak your interest such as playing basketball, answering a crossword puzzle, or even sharing your quality time with true, good friends could ease those negative vibes step by step and in turn, it would be replaced with some optimism.

I always crowd out the negative feelings and thoughts with positive ones. Don't give the negative thoughts room to manifest.
