Hmm... I'd stick to "keep your <something> positive..."

I think that not even in Portuguese that structure sounds well, let alone in English.

I agree with Goncin.
'Keep your thoughts positive' (or, if you prefer, 'make sure your thoughts are positive') sounds ok and has a meaning that is subtly different from 'keep positive thoughts'.

Actually, this request seems to be a quotation from Gandhi.

Indeed, those seem to be Gandhi's words.
Let's respect his wisdom.
