Many people are very worried about the question of how to be positive and always maintain a positive optimistic attitude towards life. This is not easy, because events constantly happen that can unsettle a person in no time. In general, life's difficulties can turn anyone into an inveterate pessimist. How to prevent this? This is what we will talk about now.
Concept and definition
To begin with, it is worth briefly considering such a term as positivity. This concept can be interpreted in different ways. But in general, it is believed that positivity is the perception of the world in bright optimistic colors.
Many also believe that this is faith in a brighter future and in oneself, which persists, regardless of how life is currently going on.
Positivity can also be perceived as a unique quality that allows a person to see the pluses in everything and focus on the good.
And of course, this is the ability to enjoy life and the absence of obsession with negativity, failures and troubles.
Harmony of the inner world
Surely many people have heard this phrase. And since we are talking about the concept of positive, then it needs to be considered.
The harmony of the inner world is a balanced, calm state, being in which a person does not face sharp energy drops, because he is constantly in a good mood, love and joy.
In simple terms, he does not know anger, discontent, resentment, rage, irritation, envy, jealousy. He does not experience fear, disappointment, disagreement and internal resistance.
In general, his life is not filled with negative emotions. Therefore, he does not even need to think about how it is to be positive. He is simply happy because he is in unity with himself, his consciousness, and also with those around him.
How to become more positive?
Everything starts with thinking. A person needs to change it, tune in to the positive. The bottom line is that you need to tune in to an optimistic perception. Here are the main rules:
- You need to learn that all bad things come to an end sooner or later.
- You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and see the negative in what is happening.
- Don't dwell on the negative. What has happened has already happened. You don't have to focus on these images. We need to move on, learn from experience, correct mistakes.
- Need to stop wasting time on crushing and long testingnegative feelings. It is better to spend it on solving problems and correcting situations.
- Try to see the good in everything.
- Appreciate the little positive things and the little good things happening.
The list goes on. The truth is simple: the way you think is always a choice. If a person wants to become positive, he will succeed. Not without difficulty, of course. But nothing in life comes without effort.
Exorcism
There are people who would like to plunge into the sea of positive, only circumstances interfere. Familiar? Then it's time to get rid of these circumstances. A person has every right to build his life the way he wants. And almost any circumstance is fixable.
We must stop communicating with eternally dissatisfied people who radiate only negative. Quit a job that brings nothing but sadness. Stop doing what you don't want to please others. Leave the oppressive city. Take the risk to try what you have long wanted.
Of course, none of the decisions come easy. Many will have a lot of questions: “How will I quit my job? Where can I find a new one? What should I live on? How can I move - I have to leave everything! Stopping communication is somehow impolite!”
A slight fear is normal. Few people find change easy. But after all they will lead to the best! Changes are a step towards new, interesting, previously unexplored. Discovery of another huge world. The end of stability is new emotions, a kind of shake-up, another stage.
Never be afraid to do something that will lead toimproving the quality of life and, perhaps, the fulfillment of desires.
People as a source of positive
Reviews, comments and reasoning of many on the topic under consideration are full of such expressions: "How can you be an optimist in a society of pessimists?" And this is the right question. It has already been said above - communication with such personalities must be stopped.
After all, everyone knows that society affects a person very strongly. And often unnoticed. And this is normal, because a person is a social being.
Do you want to get better? So, you need to surround yourself with the best, and not with those who will drag you to the bottom. People can be a valuable source of positive energy, experience, advice, inspiration and motivation.
Don't be shy to reach out to someone who can teach you something. On the contrary, it is worth finding a role model and being inspired by it. Such people create energy and an atmosphere in which it is much easier to be positive. A person seems to fall into a current that carries him to the goal.
Believe in yourself and purposefulness
Without this, it will not work to be positive. The secret of successful and optimistic people is that they always, under any circumstances, keep faith in themselves and in their abilities. The result comes only to those who see it and are ready to move towards their goal.
What does success and optimism have to do with it? Despite the fact that a person who is on the positive, takes into account even minor achievements. He does not limit them, but he does not neglect them either. Therefore, his consciousness remembers this positive experience, which not onlycontributes to his positivity and confidence, but also inspires him to greater achievements.
Life is like a quest
It has already been said above about changing your thinking. And what if you start to perceive your life as an exciting game? In quests, you need to complete tasks, show initiative, ingenuity, each time reaching new levels. Is it different from life?
People who follow the positive are constantly evolving, regularly challenge themselves, set new goals and objectives. Working on yourself brings a lot of joy! After all, the person who implements it notices every day that he is getting better, more successful. It brings him pleasure.
This fact is irrefutable, because even in Maslow's pyramid of needs, self-actualization is at the very top. It is she who expresses the positive nature of the individual. Only self-actualization can lead to personal freedom, the realization of desires and potential, to an even greater desire for development.
All this makes a person satisfied and happy. And the one who is satisfied with himself (and his life, respectively) cannot think but positively.
On the benefits of positive thinking
If the above is not enough to realize the benefits that an optimistic outlook on life brings, it is worth considering its goals and objectives. Of course, there is no such concept, but conditionally it can be designated as follows. You can consider them directly on the examples.
People who manage to be positive benefit from their establishedoptimistic thinking certain benefits. Namely:
- They are constantly looking for solutions and opportunities. These people don't dwell on why it's not possible. In other words, they see what they can do, not what they can't.
- People who are positive in life, even after numerous failures, do not give up. It should be noted that this skill is inherent only to people with a very strong character.
- They know how to learn from experience and mistakes. These people go further, and do not blame everything on the first failure. For them, a mistake is an experience, not a reason to turn off the path to achieving a goal. So even in the moment of failure, they still win.
- The ability to tune in to the positive allows them to win in hopeless situations.
- They make discoveries. After all, positive thinking is a whole stage in the development of the thought process, which is based on the perception of what is happening in the best light. It is the people who follow this concept that move humanity forward.
- For them there are no fears and prejudices. No, positivists do not neglect reasonable security. But they will never give up something interesting out of fear of the unknown.
Here you can see a lot of good things. Positive, however, rarely arises just like that. Many mistakenly believe that optimistic people are always happy and have never experienced grief. But no. Without being in the dark, the light cannot be known. These people know very well what it is to experience pain and negative emotions. But they consciously choose the better side.
Besides, only by knowing evil, one can fully appreciate the good.
Where to start?
Finally, a few words about how best to start creating a favorable environment for your positive thoughts.
Everything starts with little things. And you can start creating fertile ground for optimistic thinking with these simple actions:
- Create a diary in which all achievements and plans will be noted. Every successful person will confirm: if the goal is not fixed on paper, it does not exist.
- Training yourself to smile more and notice good things.
- Instilling the ability to quickly “let go” of negativity.
- Daily complete relaxation for the brain and intellect. Not while watching a series, for example, but in the pool, in nature, etc.
- Visualization or detailed description of the desired results. Seeing the goal, a person will subconsciously strive towards it more strongly.
