How to be positive

All thought, good and bad, is creative and tends to lead to a material thing. That is why we must learn to be more positive. The environment and all the experiences in life are the result of habitual and predominant thoughts. Negative thoughts can tell us about something that needs attention. So, thoughts lead to discovering what needs to be done, and one can think positively or negatively to take care of it. Many people fail to see a negative occurrence as a learning experience and continue to feel victimized and helpless, ultimately blaming others for what they drew to themselves. Steps Remove All Negative Influences 1 Avoid negative influences . Even if it's a family member or close friend, we must not tolerate anyone's bad behavior. Steer clear from it so that it will not rub off on us. Choose friends wisely. Grandpa was probably right if he kept on repeating that to while wegrew up. The friends we surround ourselves with can have an overwhelming impact on our outlooks — both good and bad. Do only what we feel comfortable with. If we don't feel comfortable doing something, we're likely to feel bad, guilty, or coerced doing it. That doesn't make for a positive experience. Learn to say "no" to things we know we don't want to do. 2 Replace negative thoughts with positive ones . Look for a bright side in every situation. We will find that there are surprising benefits within them. If we do thislong enough, it will become habitual, and it will make a tremendous difference in improving our positive thinking skills. Say "I can!" more than "I can't!" Remember, everything can be framed positively; make a relentless effort to do so. Even when we don't get what we want, we gain valuable experience. Experiences are often much more valuable than material things. Material things slowly waste away; experiences stay with us, growing, our entirelives. There are both positive and negative aspects to most situations. We get to choose which ones we will focus on. We can try to catch ourselves when we're being negative and try thinking the opposite. There's no sense in worrying about the negatives if they cannot be changed. Some parts of life are "unfair." That's because life just "is." If we waste energy and happiness on the things we can't change, we'll only make ourselves more frustrated. 3 Smile . Many studies have demonstrated that even a forced smile can lift one's mood! We may also share positivity with others by flashing them with a brilliant smile. Smiling is a reward, not a risk. The only thing we risk when smiling is a giving ourself a little more happiness. 4 We all need and deserve time to recharge . If we just got out of a bad relationship, or we simply need a break from the hustle and bustle of your life, we mustn't be afraid to take some time off and recharge. It can be stressful being with other people, even people that we really like. Being independent can help us regain our perspective. One simple thing to do to recharge is to take a short trip somewhere. Have I always meant to climb to the top of that mountain outside the city? Do I want to explore the river-valley that feeds into the lake? Communing a little bit with nature if we can, provides an wonderful tonic!
