A reverse approach to have positive thoughts

Our thoughts are the origin of our personality. With negative thoughts, we will be inviting negative results whereas positive thoughts will bring about constructive changes into our lives. The whole world around you is within your control but for some reason, many people are not able to figure out how to have positive thoughts. Here is a reverse approach for how to bring in positive thoughts to your mind –

positive thinking

• Make a note of the negative thoughts coming into your mind. Negative thoughts may be like doubting your abilities, blaming yourself, expecting negative results, focusing on negative things, etc. These thoughts may be about yourself or others. Also make a note of what kind of conditions and circumstances trigger these thoughts.

• The next step is to think of how you can turn your negative thoughts into positive ones. For instance, if you failed to complete a task assigned to you using the conventional way, take it as an opportunity for you to figure out another way of doing it. Practice this positive self talk for every situation that created a negative thought in your mind and try to figure out the optimistic aspect of it.

• Practice this on a daily basis to make it a habit of looking at the positive side of things. You will soon realize a constructive change in your way of thinking. You may also observe a good change in the attitude of others towards you. This is what it means when you say that positive thoughts will bring about positive changes in your life.

• Spend some time meditating, exercising, doing things that you love to do and thinking of how you can improve your health by eating the right food and getting proper rest.

Soon you will realize that the world around you has started changing into a better place to live in.
