Simple Methods To Live A More Positive And Optimistic Life
Are negative thoughts and worrying keeping you from being happy? Do you wish that you could be optimistic about your future but fear and worry about your current situation are destroying any attempt to change your life? Worry and fear can be very powerful emotions and they can overwhelm us and make it seem like we will be stuck with the life we're living forever. Depression, sadness and a desire to just give up are an everyday part of our lives. We want to be happy and we want to solve all the problems that we have but what can be done? How can you make the changes necessary when you are filled with these terrible emotions? Trying to just think positive doesn't work and these negative emotions just keep on coming back again and again.
When our life is in turmoil, often mornings are the most difficult time. You're confronted with worry and fear before you even get out of bed. It's another day filled with the same problem that you had when you went to sleep and chances are you didn't sleep very well, to begin with. You dread the day with the job that you despise or the relationship that you wish would change or the impending phone calls from bill collectors. No matter what the situation might be, it greets you as your reality seeps in and you're defeated before the day even begins.
Do yourself a favor and put those negative thoughts on the back burner. Tell yourself that you're not going to focus on the negative things in your life in the morning. Give yourself a break and tell yourself that you will think about the problems in your life later. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself some time to wake up. The problems will still be there later on during the day and worrying about a solution isn't going to help you become motivated first thing in the morning. Tell yourself that you're not going to even think about the problem until you have had a cup of coffee.
Understanding that you're thoughts aren't very positive is also a trick that you can try with yourself. Recognizing this thought pattern can take some of the power out of it and defuse the damage that it can do. Allowing worry and negative thoughts to run rampant is a waste of time and it's rare that a solution is found when your mind is focused on the problem instead of a solution. After all, it's often someone emotionally removed from the situation that can see the solution so remove yourself emotionally from the burden of worry. Clear your mind and prepare yourself for finding this solution.
When you feel that you are filled with fear or loathing about your life or your situation, tell that fear that it's not welcome at the moment. You understand that this is your instincts telling you to either fight or flee from a dangerous situation but you have the matter in hand. Worrying and being fearful can make you freeze like a wild animal caught in the middle of the road not knowing which direction to go to escape that danger. Channel that instinct and allow it to motivate you to do great things. Harness the power of your mind to find that solution as you visualize about your destination, that is, your life once you solve the problem that has you so upset. Dream about what you really want your life to be like and feel all the emotions that go along with being in that place in your life.
Persistence is the key to eliminating negative thoughts and worry from your life. Not allowing negative thoughts to take up too much of your time and energy while focusing on finding a solution is possible and practical. Those negative thoughts very well might come back but if you are ruthless about recognizing them for what they are. Focus on your life without the problem and you will find that you're happier, healthier and more motivated to change your life.
Allowing yourself to dream and finding a little quite time alone in each and every day is also helpful. No matter what the situation might be, push aside the trouble and fill this time with nothing but dreams of happiness, success and love. Gather photos that bring you joy, listen to some peaceful music playing softly in the background and let yourself live in that time when everything is exactly the way that you want it to be. You deserve to be happy and you have the ability to solve any problem in your life. Your thoughts are the plans for your future and without these thoughts you will remain stuck in your present reality. Allow these methods to become a part of your daily routine. Soon you'll find that you're happier, your problems become smaller and solutions to what formerly seemed overwhelming come to you easily.
