The way is to start paying attention to your thoughts. Whenever you have a negative thought, stop yourself -- actually think "Stop!" and then think of a positive thing about whatever that is you're thinking about. Try to think of the word realistic - make your positive thoughts logical and realistic explanations instead of negative gloom-and-doom thoughts.

For example, say you invite a friend to go to a movie and they say no -- your negative thought might be "They don't really like me" -- you say "Stop! They might have other plans, or they might just be busy or they might not like that particular movie."
