If you are like me, you need to clean up your consciousness.  Negativity manifests in my mind almost without notice.  It sets up housekeeping in my diseased brain.  So what is the answer?  I don't know.  But Emmet Fox suggests a Seven Day Mental Diet.  This diet forbids negativity a dwelling.  My job is to forbid any and all negative thoughts.  I do  not accept them.  These thoughts do not come from a loving God.  "God does not give us the spirit of fear."  That comes from some place else.   Fear seems the root of all other negativity.  At least, fear does seem to be an evil and corrosive thread throughout my consciousness.  Emmet Fox suggests his plan for a cleansing of the consciousness of all negativity.  Sound impossible?  It does to me too, but that is a negative thought as well.
