How to Use Positive Thinking to be More Optimistic

Tips to help you train your brain to be Optimistic.
by

You can be skeptical all your life, but consistently seeing things in a negative way can prevent you from appreciating the good in every situation. It can stop you from trying hard because you are already telling yourself that you would fail at the end of the day. Thus, you end up accomplishing nothing in your life.

Actually, you can still turn things round. All you have to do is to think positive to be more optimistic. Here are 7 steps that will help you be just that.

1.) Appreciate every little thing that you receive. Consider them as blessings that you deserve. Find something good that’s happening in your life everyday. For example, if you get stuck in traffic and you’re late for work, and you know your boss be mad at you. In the moment don't focus so much on the bad, but instead take this as an opportunity as you sit in your car, to listen to the radio which may be something that you don’t usually do anymore because of your hectic schedule.

2.) We are not asking you to play blind to the bad consequences of your actions. Thus, you would have to seek balance in everything. Stay optimistic while considering every angle of a situation.

3.) Always keep in mind that you only get to live once and that your life can be taken from you at any given moment. Thus, you owe to it to yourself to go out there, take risks and don’t be afraid to do something just because you’re scared of being a failure.

4.) Place post-its inside your home containing positive quotes. Seeing these statements on a regular basis would surely help you in your goal to stay optimistic at all times. Moreover, always remember that you can achieve everything that you put your mind into. You’re strong and you’re unstoppable if you really believe in yourself. You can make it. Keep the faith alive.

5.) Try to live only for the present and the future. If you have had many mistakes in your past, don’t let them drag you down. Show to others that you can change your life for the better and that you can improve in every single aspect. Prove your detractors wrong. Also, don’t forget to forgive yourself for your misdoings. It all starts from there.

6.) You have 24 hours in a day and 356 days a year so make every second count. Be productive if you want your life to end up somewhere. Don’t let laziness get into you all the time. It would only hinder you from achieving your dreams. Plus, stop viewing the future negatively. You may occasionally “stumble” because of bad luck, but you are certainly in full control of what’s going to happen to you in the years to come.

7.) Never consider yourself as unlucky. Nobody is. If your parents constantly told you when you were young that you have never done anything right, then prove to them that you can go miles with your dreams and that you don’t deserve to be treated that way in the first place.
