Hare Krishna.
I recently heard from a devotee that there are 4 kinds of thoughts. Positive, negative, useless, and routine. Out of these positive thoughts are good, oviously. They pretty much refer to thinking of Krishna in one way or the other (favorably ofcourse :-) ) The routine thoughts are necessary. These are thoughts which we need for executing our day-to-day duties like job and household activities.. However the other two kinds of thoughts are absolutely unnecessary. Negative thoughts include things like envy, criticism, anger, lust, greed, and so on. And the useless thoughts include "who won the cricket match?" and so on.
So, once we know this classification of thoughts, we can now filter all our thoughts through this classifier :-) This way we will become more conscious of our thoughts and also be able to promptly replace the unnecessary thoughts (negative and useless ones) by the positive ones by chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare!
Your servant, Abhijit.
