It's important to generally have a positive outlook in life and if this is something you
find yourself struggling to do day to day, then this video is going to provide help with
this.
However, remember one very important fact, which is you can't always be positive, there
will be moments you feel down and this is totally ok, it happens to everyone.
The key is to the react in a way which benefits you.
With that said, let's look at how to reprogram your mind for positive thinking...
1.
Surround Yourself With Positive People - You become the average of those you surround
yourself with, so with that in mind it only makes sense to try and get influence of people
who you aspire to be like - Positive people have a positive effect on
your thinking, which can work to inspire, empower and motivate you to be your best as
well as help you adopt a more positive outlook - On the flip side, negative people will alter
your way of thinking and you will naturally begin to mirror their behaviors, words and
thoughts - Limit interactions with negative people
and develop habits that allow your brain to stay positive by spending time with people
who have a mindset you want yourself
2.
Let Negative Thoughts Go - There's a distinction between who you are
and negative thoughts that come to you, and just as the two are seperate, you can disassociate
yourself from the thoughts - If you have them, learn to control yourself
to let them go and not have control over you, using techniques such as meditation to help
you achieve your desired results - The more you get caught up in your negative
thoughts, the greater the power they can have over you, which compounds to start influencing
your whole outlook in life - The less you acknowledge the negative thoughts,
or at least give them attention, the more you'll find they actually influence your behaviour,
mindset and feelings
3.
Say Affirmations - Affirmations can have an incredible effect
on your state of mind and being, with studies having showed how they influence the brain
and your conscious behaviour - The reason is they rewire how you filter
stimuli coming in from around you, with you being significantly more likely to give focus
to those which benefit you and fit with the affirmation
- Affirmations also change the biology of the brain, with them having bio-chemical,
neuro-chemical, and neuropharmalogical affects just as effective as Prozac, Zoloft and other
similar medication - So spend a little time each day, usually
at the start of your day and as part of your morning routine, to say affirmations that
are positive
4.
Have Gratitude - Gratitude has been proven to be extremely
beneficial for mental health and wellbeing in all people, with many successful people
taking time to feel a sense of gratitude in their day
- How you do it is really up to you, some do so through meditative practices, others
will spend a few minutes just to remind themselves what they're grateful for and many keep journals
- The latter is particularly beneficial, as the act of writing out your thoughts and feelings
will help make them more tangible and more easily remembered
- Just remember, gratitude is an act of appreciation, but not comparison, meaning if you focus on
being better off than others, it won't have the same benefits
5.
Exercise - I don't think I really need to state the
benefits of exercise for the most part, but it's vital to know that exercise directly
contributes to your mental health - Dopamine, endorphins and Brain-derived neurotrophic
factor, or BDNF, are all released or developed in the process of exercise and can massively
improve your mood - BDNF is particularly special, as it essentially
helps the brain grow and perform at it's peak, effectively like miracle grow for the brain
- So exercise and do the tips mentioned, as doing so will help you reprogram your mind
and help you generally become a more positive person in life
Do you apply any of these tips to help keep a positive mindset?
