How to learn to think positively?

How many times have you said to yourself: “Well! Again nothing worked out. I guess I’m a loser!”, even if the disaster didn’t actually happen. Some similar situations and you are already sure that this is the way it is, nothing can be changed. What happens to those who consider themselves successful? Such a person, even after a mind-boggling failure, will never say to himself: “This happened because I was a fool!” Rather, he will think that failure is a consequence of such and such omissions. And that next time he will definitely provide for this. But overall, in this situation, he looked completely okay. The more correct positive ideas a person has about himself, the more problem-free his life is. The absence of such ideas leads to the growth of the internal conflict of the individual. Some of your own actions are seen in a false light and lead to dramatic consequences.

American plastic surgeon Maxwell Moltz drew attention to the fact that those who fail in life often blame their face, even if it has very minor deviations from the accepted canons. In most cases, a person with obvious defects or overly strange facial features after surgery almost immediately (usually within 21 days) experienced a noticeable increase in self-esteem and self-confidence. However, in some cases, the patient retained the same inferiority complex and inferiority. That is, he continued to feel, act and behave as if he still had the same appearance. In addition to the face given to us by nature, there is a psychological, spiritual face. By changing the shape of the ears or nose, but leaving the image of ourselves unchanged, we can come across a new personal crisis - a mismatch between the physical and psychological selves. Sometimes it is enough to work only with the inner self, and Plastic surgery is no longer required - the person begins to “accept” his own appearance.

WhyWeprogrammingmyselfonfailures?

1. By whommyselfwe feel, SoAndlet's do.
We will always “act like” the person we believe we identify with. We are simply unable to do otherwise, despite conscious efforts. A person who imagines himself as a “typical loser” and sincerely believes in his unfortunate fate will always find a way (and a reason) to fail, despite good intentions and strong-willed efforts, even if there is an opportunity to succeed. Hence, it seems as if all our daily experience confirms this image of our own Self. Thus, depending on the circumstances, a vicious (or favorable) circle arises.

2. RefusalfromchangesrepresentationOhimselfto myself.
Very often all efforts are directed at external circumstances, at the shell, and not at the core of the problem. Method positive thinking often try to apply to some specific external circumstances, individual negative habits or character qualities (“I will certainly get this work"; “In the future I will quit smoking”). But a person’s lack of feeling that he is worthy of such work or constant self-flagellation due to a return to a bad habit will negate any attempts. It is absolutely impossible to perceive any particular situation positively if you still have a negative self-image.

3. Focusonnegativeexperience.
We are willing to spend hours reminiscing about past failures, but often do not do the same to remember our successes or at least replay situations of success in our imagination. Experimental and clinical psychologists have irrefutably proven that the human nervous system is unable to distinguish between an actual situation and a situation created vividly and in detail by our imagination. It has long been recognized that success contributes to success. We learn to act successfully from our own successes. The memory of past successes plays the role of an information bank that gives us confidence in own strength and abilities in solving the next task or problem.

4. Absencecleargoals.
Most often it turns out like in that fairy tale: “Go there - I don’t know where. Bring something - I don’t know what.” When you start a business, you keep in mind some goal, some final result that needs to be achieved, some specific solution, which may still appear rather vaguely, but will certainly be “recognized” when it comes into view. If you are really serious about what you have planned, sincerely want to implement it and think hard about it various aspects problems, then your subconscious will sort through the accumulated information, groping for the right solution; take away interesting ideas and facts, bring up the results of previous experiences and tie everything together into a meaningful whole. When a solution enters your consciousness, often out of the blue, while you are thinking about something else, something clicks and you immediately “know” that it is what you were looking for.

FromfailuresTogood luck

1. Accurategoals
The goal must be presented as already existing, actually or potentially. The success mechanism functions in one of two ways: it either leads you to a goal whose location is known, or it identifies a goal that exists somewhere. Do not be confused by the seeming lack of funds necessary for this. Think constantly about the end result, and the means, as often happens, will appear.

2. Errors -Thisyoursassistants
A person does not always know how to do it right, but knowledge of how not to do it is simply priceless. An unsuccessful interview will plunge someone into despondency, while others will force them to analyze it inside and out, highlight problematic issues, and develop various ways to prevent them or rehearse an interview with an imaginary employer. Most of humanity's achievements are the result of voluntary or involuntary mistakes and their analysis.

3. Take action!
Sometimes our long thoughts about how this or that thing will come true lead us either to excessive anxiety or lead us into a world of fruitless dreams. In both cases, what was planned remains unrealized, and you are in Once again label yourself a loser. Action sparks your creativity. You should not delay your action until you receive some confirmation that everything is going well; act as if the confirmation is already there, and it will come.

4. You canturn onimagination
In an experiment conducted under strict control, a psychologist R. A. Vandel proved that if a subject spends a certain period of time every day in front of a target, imagining himself throwing darts at it, his results will improve to the same extent as if he actually threw darts at the target every day. Imagination can serve you well and help you work through your actions.

5. Aneed towhetherstrain?
Instead of gritting your teeth, trying to achieve what you want, relying on your willpower, constantly worrying and imagining mistakes and failures, you need to simply relax, clearly imagine the goal and let your creativity take over all worries. This absolutely does not mean that you are freed from the need to make efforts and work, but these efforts are spent on leading you forward towards your goal, and not on the useless internal conflicts that arise when you want and do one thing, but draw in yours. the imagination is completely different.

6. Searchmyself
Your creativity can help you find the best possible image of your own Self. To do this, you need to mentally draw yourself as you would like to become, and see yourself in this new role. Such a vision is an indispensable condition for any personality transformation, regardless of the method used. For some reason, it always turns out that before a person can change, he must see himself in a new role. Set aside 30 minutes every day for this and find a suitable place where you can be alone, where no one will disturb you. Sit back and relax. Then close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. It is necessary to pay attention to small details: sounds, colors, individual objects, because... if the picture created by your imagination is bright enough and detailed, then nervous system Such artificial experience completely replaces real experience.

7. Considertheirstrongsides
In a certain sense, every person on earth is in some way weaker than another or an entire group of people. You may not be able to lift a barbell like athletes do. It's important to simply not compare yourself to others unfavorably so that you don't feel bad just because you can't do something as well as someone else. The feeling of inferiority grows not so much from facts and everyday experience, but from our conclusions and assessments regarding these facts. You may be an unimportant weightlifter or a bad dancer, but this does not mean that you are an inferior person. It all depends on what and by whose standards we measure ourselves.

8. Rest
Effort is a big obstacle to getting rid of bad habits and acquiring new ones. By using force to resist an unwanted behavior, you actually reinforce it. Physical relaxation, if practiced daily, will certainly be accompanied by mental relaxation, which will improve conscious control over the automatic mechanism. Find time for solitude - this will help you put your thoughts in order and accept correct solution.

9. BeHereAndNow
Living creatively means responding spontaneously and reacting to environment. In any situation, ask yourself questions: “What are the advantages of this?”, “What can I learn?”, “What will this ultimately give me?” Try to avoid phrases with the particle “not”: say “this is how the circumstances developed” instead of “I couldn’t.” Also, plan for the future. Prepare for it, but don't worry about what will happen tomorrow or even in five minutes.

10. YouNotJuliusCaesar
If you feel a nervous tremor and are seized with anxiety at the thought of a huge pile of things waiting, then these feelings are caused not by the upcoming work, but by the position: “I have to do it all at once.” And naturally, trying to accomplish the impossible, you begin to get nervous, rush around and despair. A person feels under constant time pressure only because he has an incorrect understanding of his duties and responsibilities. No matter how many things, problems, questions we are faced with, they always come, lined up one at a time, because this is the only way they can replace each other.

The “typical loser” is not able to create a new self-image by sheer force of will or sudden decision. There must be some basis, a good reason to believe that the previous perception of oneself is erroneous, and the new image corresponds to reality. You cannot invent another yourself out of nowhere if deep down you don’t feel that this image corresponds to reality.

People fuss, suffer, make mistakes and, as a result, fall into deep depression, believing that life has failed... Of course, it is difficult to overcome obstacles when climbing to the top of the mountain. Especially in moments of despair. Although – all these disappointments are just the fruits of one’s own wild imagination. Remember the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street", where imaginary fears become reality. The question is when will this happen?

Everything that has been secretly accumulating in your head and soul will one day come to light. This condition will exhaust the remaining nerves and strength. And it will weaken the desire to move forward. Precisely at a time when it is truly necessary.

Question: how to get out of a hopeless situation?

The answer is quite simple.

1. Get off your knees, straighten your shoulders. There is no problem in the entire Universe that cannot be solved. A man just needs to look at own mistakes in life from the outside as a valuable experience.

2. Having thoroughly analyzed your fall, understand that nothing terrible happened - any things can be bought.
Of course, material goods can provide temporary pleasure. But they will not give complete happiness. The only thing that is priceless is life!

3. Drive away bad thoughts, apathy and sadness. They won't help, but they will harm. Revived internal fears and concerns will envelop your arms and legs in iron shackles. And if you don’t get rid of them in time, they can stay with a person for his entire life.

4. Remember your history lessons: destroying an army of enemies is difficult, but if you divide them, it will be much easier to deal with them individually. This is the only winning strategy. Proceed according to this principle.

5. Success is on everyone's mind... Thoughts come to life, materialize - proven by science. This means that anyone can be healthy, rich and successful.

6. Having discarded your own prejudices and stereotypes, learn to look at the world with a new look. Stop getting angry and upset - especially at others, this is their human nature.

7. Take advantage of every chance life gives you. This will provide an opportunity to develop. Get rid of shyness - you need help - contact people (this is not extortion or theft). It's a shame not to help when someone needs it.

8. Remember - people who dig for gold with a shovel will dig up much less than those who use an excavator. Set yourself high goals, break them down into small steps and set a time frame for achievement. Whatever you can implement now, do it.

9. Success awaits only those who are ready to meet it. This also applies to material wealth - if a person is not ready to properly manage millions, then he will never have them.

When you imagine yourself as a millionaire in your own thoughts, act accordingly. It’s as if your pocket is full of these millions - and in the near future, this will happen. Move on decisively and, no matter what happens, maintain a positive attitude.

Pay less attention to the opinions of others and gossip. It’s better to set goals and achieve them, which will certainly help you find your own path to happiness.

A person is a product of his thinking; what he thinks is what he becomes.

Mahatma Gandhi.

I often hear the following phrases from those around me: “be positive”, “you need to think positively” and others. But do people really understand the meaning and essence of how to think positively and why? Putting on the mask of a positive “superman” and being one are completely different things. Looking around, you can see the faces of people who express various emotions, for example: concern and joy, sadness and happiness, anger and peacefulness, boredom and interest... But seeing sincere happiness or satisfaction in the eyes is a rare occurrence. “Being positive” is trending right now. And few people want to communicate with a negative person or a sad crybaby. And yet, everyone understands something different by positive. Many people can put a smile on their face, but not everyone can put a smile, happiness and positivity in their heart. You can put on a mask of positivity as much as you like, but if at the same time “the cats are scratching at your soul” and you engage in self-flagellation or self-deprecation, then the mask will forever remain a mask and sooner or later it will fall off. All this is just different ways deception, we can successfully deceive others or even ourselves, but this will not change the fact that positive thinking and qualitative internal and external changes are best achieved through self-awareness and deep inner work.

Let's look at how to think positively, how positive thinking can affect your life, and why, if you think positively, thoughts materialize.

How to think positively and achieve peace of mind

How often do you hear the phrase “thoughts matter”? And indeed it is. Many of you must have noticed that when your mood is “on the rise,” then life becomes easy, simple and pleasant. All problems are solved as if by themselves, you meet positively minded people who are ready to help and support, everyone around you is friendly and nice, and the world seems to smile at you. And vice versa, when your mood and thoughts leave much to be desired, then life is not a joy, the space around begins to confirm your sad thoughts and contributes to their realization. This is why it is so important to think positively! Positive thinking helps you change your life better side, reach inner peace and harmony.

IN Lately I had to communicate with a lot of negatively minded people, I really wanted to help them and make them understand that sometimes their troubles and suffering flow and materialize from their own heads. Trying to convey the idea of ​​positive thinking and looking at people, I saw the following: some people say: “Yes, everything is bad for me, but Vaska’s neighbor is even worse and this makes me feel good (easier), because my problems are compared to the problems of others not so scary, you can live.”

Others say: “Everything is bad for me and I don’t care whether others are good or bad, I only care about mine.” own life, my problems and my experiences."

Still others say: “Everything is bad for me and it won’t get better, all the good things have already been grabbed by those rich people who are crazy about fat, or by those sectarians who are out of their minds, or by those who have higher salaries, or by those who have grass.” the lawn is greener, and so on.”

And there are also those who understand the power of positive thinking, but cannot cope with their thoughts, saying something like this: “Yes, you need to think positively to change your life, but I don’t know how, because I have a lot of problems; I don’t know where to start, or I don’t know how to remake myself, change myself, or where to find time to work on myself; Yes, you need to think positively, because Katya thinks positively, and everything works out for her and everything is fine for her, which means I can do it too, but what can I do for this? Is there anything else that needs to be done for this? And I’m lazy (it’s difficult, scary, I don’t have time)”... Did you recognize yourself somewhere?

Now, based on the categories described, let's figure it out: how to think positively to change your life.

So, let's begin... We found out that people can plunge into negativity in different ways, some begin to elevate themselves above those who are worse off than themselves, others envy those who are better off, others are generally indifferent to everyone except themselves. The words of Shantideva immediately come to mind:

« All the happiness that exists in the world comes from wanting others to be happy. All the suffering that exists in the world comes from the desire for happiness for oneself.»

Based on these words, we can conclude that the more you wish and do good to others unselfishly, the more good then returns to you, and in the end everyone is happy and everyone wins. But to do this, you need to say goodbye to such obscurations as envy, anger, pride, laziness, fear, and bring more altruism, compassion and awareness into your life.

Reach peace of mind An analytical and evaluative approach to the current situation, sincere faith in the best and awareness of the law of Karma also helps. I know what happens to me when negative events, then it’s just negative karma boiling away. This process can be accelerated or slowed down, but karma will still have to be exhausted. And when positive events happen in life, I understand that this is a reward for my good deeds and actions. This helps to let go of any worries and move on, working on yourself.

Of course, sometimes awareness is not enough to sensibly assess the situation and make correct conclusions from the lessons that happened. Then I switch to “standby mode”. Just doing what I have to do, what is needed, blocking negative thoughts (just not letting them enter my head) and doing practices that can ease the internal state - this could be hatha yoga, taking a hot bath or listening to lectures on yoga and a healthy lifestyle, reading spiritual and developmental literature. Gradually, internal heaviness and fatigue recede, it becomes easier physically and energetically, a desire appears to do something for the good and strength for realizations and conclusions.

Sometimes the following phrase inspires me: “If you have a goal, go to it; if you can’t walk, crawl; if you can’t crawl, lie down and lie in the direction of the goal.” The main thing is not to give up, difficulties are always temporary, and if you give up and give yourself an indulgence or 100 indulgences, it won’t get easier, you’ll just have to go through these lessons and this path again, because every indulgence, weakness or negative thought is a step back from the goal, from a feeling of inner happiness and integrity. This does not mean that you do not need to relax and rest. But even a vacation can be chosen in such a way that it will delight and reinforce a positive attitude towards life, and at the same time bring good.

All this helps to shift the focus of concentration from one’s own suffering and experiences to actions to change and process the current situation. When you realize that everything that happens to you is the results of your actions and deeds in the past, then the question no longer arises: “WHY am I doing this?”, Now you can stop and understand WHY this situation came to you, and draw appropriate conclusions. With the awareness of these simple things comes peace of mind and balance, because everything happens as it should be, but there are always ways to change your life, karma and thoughts for the better, redirecting your actions in a more beneficial direction.

How to start thinking positively

In fact, to start thinking positively, you just need to start! Start celebrating positive moments in life: celebrating what makes you happy, instead of noticing what makes you sad; focus on what you have, instead of wanting endless benefits and experiencing envy; It’s important to praise yourself for your successes, even the smallest ones, but also to accept constructive criticism adequately in order to change the negative aspects! You can also make a list of positive thoughts that support and inspire you. Getting started can be difficult, but anything is possible! Try to start the day with a smile and gratitude for your precious birth, and in the evening before going to bed, remember what good things happened in your life today and what good things you did. Gradually, you will learn to celebrate the positive without even thinking about it, you will see the good in people or see in their actions an example of how to behave and how not to behave, and learn lessons even from unpleasant situations. The feeling of guilt before this world, other people and yourself will be replaced by an awareness of your causality and calmness. And if think positively, thoughts materialize in a positive way, and life in general will become simpler and more enjoyable.

Very important point in positive thinking - don’t draw bright pictures for yourself of how good everything is with you and how wonderful you are, how wonderful everyone around you is and how you love everyone, and they love you. Thinking in pictures means leaving your energy and part of yourself in your imagination. In reality, when our attention is stuck in something that no longer exists (the past), in something that does not yet exist (the future) or simply in a non-existent present (imagination), then the energy simply flows into nowhere, and there is no sense in these visualizations, but there is harm. It doesn’t matter to our mind in which reality you will be happy, real or imaginary, and it will happily imagine everything for you! And when you return to real reality (I apologize for the tautology), it will be painful from the awareness of the discrepancy between the imaginary and the real, sad from the useless waste of time and mental energy. Approach the visualization mindfully and meditate. In order for life to really begin to change, raise your consciousness to a different, qualitative new level, stop running away from reality, accept it as it is and start acting! Any action begins in the head, allow yourself to think positively. The world won't collapse if you become a little happier! Define a goal, create a plan to achieve that goal, and start thinking positively as you achieve it! Start small and work your way up. Feel the little ones inside you positive feelings and big positive thoughts will appear. Then you will understand how to think positively in any difficulty. In this practice of positive thinking, as in many other activities, experience and practice are important. After all, if you want to pump up your abs, then you will perform exercises to strengthen them and make great efforts to achieve your goal, and in this particular case, in order to learn to think positively and do it correctly, hard practice is required.

How to force yourself to think positively

Our life can sometimes be unpredictable, and sometimes it is impossible to predict when and where the next lesson will lie in wait for you. How to think positively in any difficulty? Start small, because “a journey of 1000 miles begins with one step.”

1. Learning to let go of negativity. The practice of yoga and concentration will help you with this. When we practice asanas on the mat, it increases our awareness and releases hidden energy resources. Redirect your energy in a good direction - learn to concentrate on an object, a candle flame, water... The practice of concentration helps you to be more focused and teaches you to manage your attention. This way, you will learn to quickly and painlessly switch to positive thinking.
2. Learning to embrace the positive. The problem with some people who lack positive thinking is that they consider themselves unworthy of the best. Therefore, it is extremely important to accept yourself as you are without unnecessary self-flagellation. Try to evaluate yourself from a position positive qualities and qualities that need to be worked on. Highlight the main thing and start working on yourself, praise yourself for your successes - this will help form the habit of positive thinking and save you from a number of unnecessary complexes. Accept the positive and change the negative. There is such an eastern wisdom: “If you don’t like the situation, change it, if you can’t change it, then change your attitude towards it.” And indeed, if you are unable to change something, then what is the point of lamenting about it?
3. We learn to ask the right questions to ourselves. Listen to people who complain about life... What are they talking about? Of course, about YOUR unhappy life, about YOURSELF! Do you think these people have nothing more to say? Of course have! Try asking this person: “What good happened to you today?” And the person immediately switches his attention to the positive. You need to ask yourself this question more often. If the answer is not satisfactory, then ask another question: “What can I do to change the situation? What lessons did I learn today? What conclusions can be drawn? What can I do to become happier? What is true happiness for me? What can I do for my family, my friends, the world, to experience happiness?” By answering these or similar questions, you will realize many interesting things about yourself.
4. We learn to relax. Internal work, as well as external activities, can be tiring, so make sure you get quality rest. Do yoga, take a walk in nature, chat with like-minded people. Rest does not mean lying on the sofa in front of the TV, various parties with the use of intoxicating and mind-stupefying substances, as well as communication with people who lead you to degradation and even greater immersion in negative thoughts. If you want to have more energy and a higher quality of life, rest properly.
5. We learn to do well for ourselves. Do those things that benefit you. The ability to ask the right questions will help us here. For example: Eating 5 chocolates may be delicious, but how good is it for your body? Eat right, get enough sleep, and do practices that recharge you with energy. Try to communicate with sensible, positive-minded people who have a positive influence on you.
6. We learn to praise ourselves, to celebrate the good in ourselves. Frequently celebrate the positive events in your life and your good deeds that have benefited other living beings. This will guarantee your good mood and inner uplift. Over time, you will find that your mood will be difficult to influence by external factors in a negative way.
7. Learning to do good to others(unselfishly). Try just smiling at people. Studies have shown that when we meet a smiling person, we involuntarily begin to smile, as if we are “infected” by him. good mood. I am always pleased to see an answering smile, and at the same time my own happiness does not decrease if I share it, but it becomes very pleasant in my soul from the realization that someone has felt better, and he in the best mood will go out into the world and, perhaps, also “infect” someone with happiness. Over time, you will want to do good things for other people more and more often.
8. Learning to celebrate the good in others. To make the world brighter, kinder and more pleasant, try to celebrate them in the people around you. good qualities, thereby giving them the opportunity to show their best side.
9. Recharging in nature. For me, the best recharge and inexhaustible sources of energy are yoga and nature. With the help of yoga you can change your internal energy and lift it up, and in nature you seem to be saturated with the energy of the sea, forest, ocean, mountains, rivers, earth and clear sky...

I hope you find this story useful and help you start thinking positively through self-awareness. Get started! And you will understand for yourself how to think positively and live to the fullest.

What good happened in your life today?

A big and warm hello to everyone! One of the best, in my opinion, human character traits is optimism. Maybe someone will disagree with me, but I sincerely believe that our lives depend on how we see the world, how we think. In previous articles, I wrote about visualization. In them, I told a little about how the power of positive thought works, how it can attract goodness and good luck. And today I would like to talk to you about how to change your thinking in a positive direction, how to learn to see the good instead of the bad.

On this moment I'm trying to instill this habit in myself. I’ll tell you honestly, it won’t work out the first time, but gather your will and continue to change yourself. Soon you will notice that those things that annoyed you will not be so bad. There are several techniques to help you learn to think positively.

Optimism, as a character trait, can be instilled and made an integral part of your life. It will not only give inner peace, but will also affect a person’s overall lifestyle. Agree, it’s always more pleasant to communicate with cheerful people happy people who see and notice more good moments. It is to them that one subconsciously reaches out, tries to make friends, relies on their opinion. It’s nice to communicate with them and find a common language. Positive thinking is very beneficial not only for you, but also for those around you.

Aggressiveness and pessimism, on the contrary, destroy and humiliate dignity. Even if a person is talented, smart, handsome, but is a pessimist by nature, then despite his positive qualities, he will remain an unhappy, lonely person, dissatisfied with life.

A huge number of studies have been and are still being conducted around the world that confirm that people who think positively complain less about their health and have a longer life expectancy than pessimists. In addition, the risk of cardiovascular diseases and hypertension decreases. This cannot be said about those people who see more bad than good. Scientists have found that their mortality rate is 16 percent higher. And this is not a small amount. So if you want to live long, get sick less and feel like a happy person, you need to not only lead healthy image life, but also to be optimistic.

As I have already said in previous articles, thought has a power that attracts similar energy to itself. That is, if you think about good, then you attract good, if you are tuned in to negativity, then you attract negativity. This phenomenon is clearly visible in people during the treatment of any disease. There were cases that seemed hopeless. But in some incredible way they extricated themselves from very difficult situations, while believing that recovery will come.

There are a number of other positive trends that scientists have observed. An optimist is less prone to stress. He quickly finds a way out of difficult situations. Manic anxiety and worry go away. They are more successful in their careers and in love because they often take conscious risks, believing in the best and in themselves. Pessimists, on the contrary, are more closed people, dejected by life, afraid to take risks, try something new, develop, because they are afraid to lose, knowingly setting themselves up for failure.

I think that each of us wants to live happy life. To do this, you need to look at the world a little with different eyes. There are several ways to practice positive thinking. But this does not mean that you, like a fool, should take situations lightly and unrealistically and not pay attention to problems.

How to learn to think positively

1. First, you need to start changing your attitude towards yourself. We often treat ourselves very strictly and demandingly. Reproaching for every failure or mistake. Moreover, we tend to exaggerate, to inflate the problem to enormous proportions. This is fundamentally wrong. Everyone makes mistakes; negative emotions towards oneself are the first sign of a pessimist. Make it a rule to minimize self-criticism. Respect yourself and accept yourself for who you are. Surely, you have many positive qualities, focus on them, do not torment yourself, do not engage in self-flagellation. This will not lead to good.

If you notice that you are thinking negatively, stop yourself, point yourself in the opposite direction, see the good. Never tell others bad things about yourself, don’t show or tell negative qualities to people, love yourself, be kind.

1. Use settings. The use of attitudes can radically change thinking, directing it towards positive side. They are able to develop positive thinking. Wherein negative thoughts there will be no place in your consciousness. At every opportunity, if you feel overwhelmed by bad thoughts, drive them away with the help of attitudes. Program your brain in a positive way. Write on a piece of paper several versions of positive statements that help you achieve a sense of calm and tranquility, for example, “I can...”, “I will do...”, “I will learn, it’s not difficult at all,” “I can handle it,” “ I happy man”, “I will succeed” and so on.
2. Learn to see in any situation positive aspects. Even if it happened to you unpleasant event, manage to find something funny, cheerful. It is better to perceive every failure as an experience, and it, in turn, is priceless. Try to smile and laugh more often. It is a talent to see the positive in the negative. This incredible ability will exalt you and make you more resistant to depression. Be less sad, and you will have more strength for new achievements.
3. Learn to take care of yourself, your health and beauty. Confidence will come by itself. Internal contradictions will disappear, giving more space for positive thinking. Create a habit of exercising physical exercise, develop, read books, study.
4. One of the main rules of positive thinking is the rejection of external suppressive factors. Communicate only with kind people who make you happy and do not annoy you. A healthy friendship with a cheerful person will reflect on you. Break off all contact with those who spoil your mood. Minimize the negativity that comes from outside. Surround yourself only with reliable partners, true friends, faithful, positive ones.
5. Be grateful. Take some time each day to remind yourself of all the good things in your life. Give thanks to yourself and others. If you are unhappy with something all the time, you will begin to make a negative impression, and people will turn away from you. And a grateful attitude will attract people and positive energy to you.
6. Don't waste time on empty worries. You are not God and you cannot control everything in the world. Rid yourself of the anxiety that comes from an uncontrollable situation. It is impossible to change the world, some circumstances, and this is quite normal. Thus, stop wasting your precious energy. Circumstances like these are not worth being overcome by. negative energy.
7. Keep a notebook where you write down your successes and victories. Review your posts regularly and praise yourself for your success and achievements. This, firstly, is a very powerful motivation, and secondly, self-esteem rises, and, consequently, positive thinking occurs more and more often.
8. Throw away in front of the unknown, this of course applies to the delivered ones. Many never achieve them, worrying, experiencing fear, which does not allow them to develop. You will succeed, believe in yourself.
