Top ten tips to be more positive

Misinterpretation: Remember, negative thoughts are mostly based on misinterpreted situations. So, do a quick check – do you have your facts right? Are they based on pessimism? Are you jumping to the worse conclusions with no actual reason? Try moving your thoughts to more positive ones.

Keep a diary: Always learn from situations. You could keep a diary and jot down your thoughts, reactions and emotions along with the circumstances that created them. For example: If someone or something irritates you at work, write it down. Also, note down how you reacted to the situation and how you could have handled it better. Make sure you read the diary regularly and do a self-check to find out if you’ve started thinking positive.

Face your fear: Here’s one sure fire way to achieve long-term positivity. Question yourself as to why you are thinking negatively. What are you frightened of – breaking up with your partner, losing your family, losing your friends? All you have to do is face your fear – think about how you can cope in case such things happen, what you can do. Once you’ve faced your worst fear, these situations will instantly get less scary.

Take responsibility: Cut the drama, stop playing the victim. Stop saying things like – why me? I am stuck, there’s no way out. There is always a way out. You just have to make the right choice for the change to happen.

Make someone feel better: Help a person who is in need of it. Cook some food and donate it to the old age home close by. It will take your mind off the negative things and you will feel better when you see some happy faces enjoying the food you cooked.

You are unique: You are the way you are – there is no point in trying to be someone else. It’s just a losing battle to compare yourself to others. Why should you be ‘normal’ when you can be awesome! So, being positive and thinking positive lets you be your awesome self.

Express yourself freely: Being excited and enthusiastic is actually cool! So, be cool. If you are happy and laugh loudly, do so. Enjoy your life and express your happiness. This can be contagious and may even brighten someone else’s day!

Talk it out: If you are feeling down, it’s best to talk to someone about it – a friend, a family member or even a trusted colleague.

Find a solution: Instead of brooding over the problem you are facing, find a solution. Don’t let the problem beat you. Get a handle over your emotions and use the ‘I Can’ mantra instead of ‘I Can’t’. This will surely put you in a positive state of mind!

Stay close to positive people: Stay close to friends who are think positive – Friends who will be there for you when they need them and give you helpful advice. Being around negative people might increase your stress levels and may even make you doubt your own ability.
