In order to progress you need structure.
You get this from following a teacher and sticking to only one training.
Besides that, the core training of buddhism is dana (giving or generosity). Keep it simple, you can improve a lot just giving, no need for mantras and meditation yet.
Give what you have and notice if you still have negative thoughts at that time. The condition for giving is having, so if you have food give food, if you have wisdom give wisdom. But if you dont have money dont try to give money. If dont have a positive mind dont force yourself to give positiveness.

With metta.
Agree.
Still i think the giving part is pretty safe.
