I accidentally keep focussing on my past/future and when I do that I allow ALL sorts of negative thoughts to go through my mind..

I have the same problem sometimes, but two things have really helped keep my focus on the present
and the positive.
The first is something I printed out and stuck to my computer monitor where I spend most of the day - it says
"One day at a time". I see this so often now on a daily basis that it's become a way of life for me and I've learnt to focus on today, forget about the past and not worry about the future (I'm organised for it, but not worried).
The second is another printout that I read every morning, and every night put back on my keyboard so I read it again the next morning. It's a summary of my current goals - personal and career - and it takes me only a few minutes to read each morning and makes a huge difference to my day, giving me focus and clarity.
I hope that helps
