How to learn to think positively: 12 tips


Magic is a thought. The thought is material. We are our thoughts. So, the ability to think positively will not only help us achieve success, but also extend our life: still, we will not waste our energy on the negative (and it takes a lot of it). Having learned positive thinking, you will win this:
  • You will have less depression;
  • You will increase your stress resistance;
  • The mental state will improve;
  • It will be easier for you to make friends and build family relationships.


Remove the particle is not
Before you learn to think positively, you need to learn how to think without using the particle "not." This is well described by Louise Hay. The universe is positively tuned to us, so it does not perceive this particle. So when you think that "I will not overwhelm this exam," she hears only "I will overwhelm this exam." The order is made, accept, sign.
We control our own thoughts
Before you learn to think positively and attract success, try to control all your thoughts with the help of a diary. Here you not only write down all your positive and negative thoughts, but also look for sources: what influences the formation of your thoughts? Dedicate to this diary at least five minutes a day and be sure to analyze your diary.
It is also important to filter all the information we receive. Very often, the source of negative thoughts is economic and political news. But bullying is a tradition and a rule of the media. They will never say in the news that life will be better tomorrow. Here you can either choose a news portal or a channel that does not irritate you, or not follow the news at all and watch popular science channels instead.
Be sure to analyze your negative thoughts. If once again the thought has crept in on you that you’ll overthrow this exam and in general, you’ll always throw up exams on this subject, then try to face the truth: if that were so, you would have been expelled from the university long ago. You can study your record for excellent and good grades.
Ask yourself positive questions.
Do not think about why life is so terrible, or why you are so unlucky. Replace these questions with more positive ones: “What can I change for the better?”, “How to make the situation more favorable?”.
Do not compare yourself with others.
For many, this causes despair and sadness. So, understand that you are not worse, but in something more talented or lucky than others. Yes, the opportunities for all are unequal, but if something is lacking for you, something else is surely in excess.
All shades of gray
What does it mean? Just avoid dividing only good and bad. Between them - the whole world. Think of all the possible outcomes in this situation. Surely you can get on your exam and the highest score, and one, and everything in between. And it does not matter whether you shine on the exam or not.
Change your social circle
Minimize communication with those who love to ponya, how everything is bad, how scary to live, and what kind of people are evil now. Alas, there are many of them, not only among the elderly, but also among quite young ones. Do not spend your energy on a girlfriend - a whiner or a gloomy neighbor. It is generally contagious.
It is better to look for acquaintances among people who are positive-minded and successful. They can pull up for themselves. And still such people infect with a positive all who appeared nearby.
We send the past to where it belongs
That is, in the past. Yes, you had a difficult youth and you often fell to dishonest people at work. But it was a long time ago and it remained in another world, whose name is the Past. These people are no longer there, and perhaps they were overtaken by retribution for what they did to you and other people. And you are still stuck in this swamp and reproach yourself for the stupid acts committed in this past, infinitely pitying yourself. This can also be a source of negative thoughts. We throw off the ballast.
Stop blaming yourself
Many of us have a habit of blaming only ourselves for everything that happens. But this can turn into paranoia and egocentrism. If someone is being discussed, then only you, if they boast, it is only to humiliate you, and if the neighbor girl has not smiled at you, it is only because you upset her with something. And the fact that the girl just had a bad day or a headache, you did not even think.
Create a positive yourself
Improve the world and your life, ask yourself what can be done for this, look for the positive and fun in everything.
Be sure to rejoice yourself and do it daily. Many deliberately deprive themselves of some kind of joy, thinking that they do not deserve it. This is from childhood, when we were punished, depriving candy for the smallest childish misses. In fact, depriving ourselves of joy, we only drive ourselves even more into the abyss and produce new negative thoughts. Accordingly, we become less productive and do not leave a chance for success. You deserve a new nail polish and a walk along the embankment with a friend, even if you have failed all ten main tasks for today. Please and become more joyful.
Filter the information correctly
This means that you need to see not only the negative side of the situation, but also the positive one. So, if you passed your exam, it does not matter, but you have been praised, you can concentrate on the wrong grade you were expecting. And it is possible on the teacher's praise. Better on the second.
Learn to finally find a positive side in everything.
It is not a stamp, although it is actually quite difficult to do. But try to remember when the trouble saved you from even more trouble. For example, you did not reciprocate a young man who began to meet with your girlfriend, and then it turned out that this handsome prince was beating up and raping the girlfriend psychologically. So in today's situation, which you see only in dark colors.
Do not forget to rest, create periodically to be in silence. Also, be sure to give yourself the opportunity to reorganize to positive thinking. It will not work out right away, but when you succeed, life will go very differently.
