"Think positive" and "stop thinking negative" both encourage a shift in mindset, but they come from slightly different angles. "Think positive" promotes focusing on optimism, hope, and constructive thoughts. It’s about intentionally looking for the bright side and fostering a sense of possibility.

On the other hand, "stop thinking negative" is more about stopping negative thought patterns, which might involve being mindful of when you're slipping into pessimism or self-doubt and redirecting those thoughts. It's not necessarily about replacing them with positivity immediately, but simply breaking the cycle of negativity.

Both can be powerful tools, depending on where you are mentally. Do you find that one works better for you than the other?
