REBOOT : RESTART : LIFE 2.09

Think Positive!

 One thing that I learned in this lockdown Is that one should always stay happy and  positive.

 When this lockdown started there were many people who were not thinking positive about it even I was not, but then one day I thought that everyone should stay positive and make this lockdown and this time fruitful by taking this as an opportunity to try new things, learn new things, contacting those whom we have lost touch with because of bussy schedules and spending time with our loved ones. 

Are you a glass half-empty or half-full sort of person?

 Studies have demonstrated that both can impact your physical and mental health and that being a positive thinker is the better of the two.

Positive thinking isn’t magic and it won’t make all of your problems disappear. What it will do is make problems seem more manageable and help you approach hardships in a more positive and productive way.

Positive thinking can be achieved through a few different techniques that have been proven effective, such as positive talk and positive imagery.

Positive thinking isn’t about burying every negative thought or emotion you have or avoiding difficult feelings. The lowest points in our lives are often the ones that motivate us to move on and make positive changes.

Focus on the good things

Challenging situations and obstacles are a part of life. When you’re faced with one, focus on the good things no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they seem. If you look for it, you can always find the proverbial silver lining in every cloud — even if it’s not immediately obvious. For example, if someone cancels plans, focus on how it frees up time for you to catch up on a TV show or other activity you enjoy.

Practice gratitude

Practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and foster resilience even in very difficult times. Think of people, moments, or things that bring you some kind of comfort or happiness and try to express your gratitude at least once a day. This can be thanking a co-worker for helping with a project, a loved one for washing the dishes, or your dog for the unconditional love they give you.

Identify your areas of negativity

Take a good look at the different areas of your life and identify the ones in which you tend to be the most negative. Not sure? Ask a trusted friend or colleague. Chances are, they’ll be able to offer some insight. A co-worker might notice that you tend to be negative at work. Your spouse may notice that you get especially negative while driving. Tackle one area at a time.

Start every day on a positive note

Create a ritual in which you start off each day with something uplifting and positive. Tell yourself that it’s going to be a great day or any other positive affirmations.

Till then 

Be happy !

Stay positive!
