Every year on Sept. 13, we observe Positive Thinking Day, which reminds us to put aside everything negative, and concentrate on the good things in life.

Even though it is not easy to ditch negative thoughts, there are various techniques that can help us achieve it. This includes catching our thoughts and reframing them, and writing them down on a paper. Reading inspiration quotes and books can also help us stay positive.

Positive thinking can have many benefits, including reducing stress and the risk of heart diseases, and lowering depression. So, on this special day, keep negative thoughts aside and think positive. Here are a few quotes that help us do that.
