Change your thoughts and you
change your world."—Norman Vincent Peale
Negative
thinking is like a giant wall. It closes you in, keeps you from accomplishing
goals, and blocks you from moving forward in life—whether it be learning,
growing, or obtaining happiness whereas a positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive
thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary
results. It lets you relax, remember, focus and absorb information as
you learn.
Positive thinking
can be achieved through a few different techniques that have been proven
effective.Instead of getting stuck in the
negativity, turn to those habitually optimistic people who
have figured out how to see the brighter side of life and remain positive no
matter what… so you can learn to do the same.
Here are some tips
that can help you train your brain how to think positively-
1.Follow a healthy lifestyle. Aim to exercise for about 30 minutes on
most days of the week.
2.Surround yourself with
positive people. The people you socialize with affect your mental
attitude. You deserve to be around people who try to be happy, as that will
encourage you to be happier
3. Set and track
your own learning goals .Setting
clear learning goals or objectives and then tracking your progress towards them
is one of the best ways to boost motivation and increase achievement.
4.
Appreciate the Things You Have. Look
around you and learn to appreciate everything you have in your life. Your
family, friends, career, home, food, car, etc., is enough to create a positive
attitude because no matter how bad things get in life, we still must be
thankful for everything we still have.
5.Look for good qualities in people. When dealing
with other people, such as friends and families, it is often easy to see their
numerous imperfections. If somebody has annoyed or upset you, just try to think
of their good qualities. It is by focusing on people’s good qualities that we
are able to make progress.
6. Limit Social Media Use . While using social media, we often tend to
focus on what others have and what we don’t have. Clearly, that’s not healthy
and empowering for our minds. Indulge in as
many positive and productive things as you can. Healthy hobbies like
sports, gardening, art, etc. , prayer,
meditation,spending time with nature.
7.Life is always moving on. Bad times don't
last forever. Say to yourself, "This too will pass."
8.Remember that adversity can be an opportunity to
learn more about
yourself, other people and how to cope with life, however unpleasant the actual
lesson may be.
9.Think positive thoughts. Instead of “I
can’t,” think “I can try my best.”
10.Read Positive and Inspirational Materials .Spend time each day reading something that
encourages positive thinking.
Your mind is a garden
Your thoughts are the seeds
You can grow flowers or
You can grow weeds
What we decide to think, feel and do today
will eventually produce results tomorrow. If we choose to live today with
good thoughts and decide to feed our mind with positive
ideas rather than instilling fear of the unknown then we can lead a
happy and successful life. So, BE POSITIVE.
