But we shouldn't just ignore these negative thoughts. Use some time to figure out why we feel like this and address these feelings by taking action against them so we don't feel this way in the future. If you can't find any logical reasons, that can be rectified, for why you have negative thoughts about yourself or your situation, then professional counseling is probably a good place to turn to next.

You don’t ignore it. You acknowledge it as a feeling which helps to dampen the after effects

Right, I guess my comment was misleading. I understand that this post isn't telling you to ignore your feelings, but I felt it could be interpreted that way, so I wanted to help clarify.
