A person is a product of his thinking; what he thinks is what he becomes.
Mahatma Gandhi

I often hear the following phrases from those around me: “be positive”, “you need to think positively” and others. But do people really understand the meaning and essence of how to think positively and why? Putting on the mask of a positive “superman” and being one are completely different things. Looking around, you can see the faces of people who express various emotions, for example: concern and joy, sadness and happiness, anger and peacefulness, boredom and interest... But seeing sincere happiness or satisfaction in the eyes is a rare occurrence. “Being positive” is trending right now. And few people want to communicate with a negative person or a sad crybaby. And yet, everyone understands something different by positive. Many people can put a smile on their face, but not everyone can put a smile, happiness and positivity in their heart. You can put on a mask of positivity as much as you like, but if at the same time “the cats are scratching at your soul” and you engage in self-flagellation or self-deprecation, then the mask will forever remain a mask and sooner or later it will fall off. All these are just different ways of deception, we can successfully deceive others or even ourselves, but this will not change the fact that positive thinking and qualitative internal and external changes are best achieved through self-awareness and deep inner work.

Let's look at how to think positively, how positive thinking can affect your life, and why, if you think positively, thoughts materialize.

How to think positively and achieve peace of mind

How often do you hear the phrase “thoughts matter”? And this is true. Many of you must have noticed that when your mood is “on the rise,” then life becomes easy, simple and pleasant. All problems are solved as if by themselves, you meet positively minded people who are ready to help and support, everyone around you is friendly and nice, and the world seems to smile at you. And vice versa, when your mood and thoughts leave much to be desired, then life is not a joy, the space around begins to confirm your sad thoughts and contributes to their realization. This is why it is so important to think positively! Positive thinking helps you change your life for the better, achieve inner peace and harmony.

Recently, I had to communicate with a lot of negatively minded people, I really wanted to help them and make them understand that sometimes their troubles and suffering flow and materialize from their own heads. Trying to convey the idea of positive thinking and looking at people, I saw the following: some people say: “Yes, everything is bad for me, but Vaska’s neighbor is even worse and this makes me feel good (easier), because my problems are compared to the problems of others not so scary, you can live.”

Others say: “Everything is bad for me and I don’t care whether others are good or bad, I only care about my own life, my problems and my experiences.”

Still others say: “Everything is bad for me and it won’t get better, all the good things have already been grabbed by those rich people who are crazy about fat, or by those sectarians who are out of their minds, or by those who have higher salaries, or by those who have grass.” the lawn is greener, and so on.”

And there are also those who understand the power of positive thinking, but cannot cope with their thoughts, saying something like this: “Yes, you need to think positively to change your life, but I don’t know how, because I have a lot of problems; I don’t know where to start, or I don’t know how to remake myself, change myself, or where to find time to work on myself; Yes, you need to think positively, because Katya thinks positively, and everything works out for her and everything is fine for her, which means I can do it too, but what can I do for this? Is there anything else that needs to be done for this? And I’m lazy (it’s difficult, scary, I don’t have time)”... Did you recognize yourself somewhere?

Now, based on the categories described, let's figure it out: how to think positively to change your life.

So, let's begin... We found out that people can plunge into negativity in different ways, some begin to elevate themselves above those who are worse off than themselves, others envy those who are better off, others are generally indifferent to everyone except themselves. The words of Shantideva immediately come to mind:

« All the happiness that exists in the world comes from wanting others to be happy. All the suffering that exists in the world comes from the desire for happiness for oneself.»

Based on these words, we can conclude that the more you wish and do good to others unselfishly, the more good then returns to you, and in the end everyone is happy and everyone wins. But to do this, you need to say goodbye to such obscurations as envy, anger, pride, laziness, fear, and bring more altruism, compassion and awareness into your life.

An analytical and evaluative approach to the current situation, sincere faith in the best and awareness of the law of Karma also helps to achieve peace of mind. I know that when negative events happen to me, it just boils away negative karma. This process can be accelerated or slowed down, but karma will still have to be exhausted. And when positive events happen in life, I understand that this is a reward for my good deeds and actions. This helps to let go of any worries and move on, working on yourself.

Of course, sometimes awareness is not enough to sensibly assess the situation and draw the right conclusions from the lessons that have happened. Then I switch to “standby mode”. Just doing what I have to do, what is needed, blocking negative thoughts (just not letting them enter my head) and doing practices that can ease the internal state - this could be hatha yoga, taking a hot bath or listening to lectures on yoga and a healthy lifestyle, reading spiritual and developmental literature. Gradually, internal heaviness and fatigue recede, it becomes easier physically and energetically, a desire appears to do something for the good and strength for realizations and conclusions.

Sometimes the following phrase inspires me: “If you have a goal, go to it; if you can’t walk, crawl; if you can’t crawl, lie down and lie in the direction of the goal.” The main thing is not to give up, difficulties are always temporary, and if you give up and give yourself an indulgence or 100 indulgences, it won’t get easier, you’ll just have to go through these lessons and this path again, because every indulgence, weakness or negative thought is a step back from the goal, from a feeling of inner happiness and integrity. This does not mean that you do not need to relax and rest. But even a vacation can be chosen in such a way that it will delight and reinforce a positive attitude towards life, and at the same time bring good.

All this helps to shift the focus of concentration from one’s own suffering and experiences to actions to change and process the current situation. When you realize that everything that happens to you is the results of your actions and deeds in the past, then the question no longer arises: “WHY am I doing this?”, Now you can stop and understand WHY this situation came to you, and draw appropriate conclusions. With the awareness of these simple things comes peace of mind and balance, because everything happens as it should be, but there are always ways to change your life, karma and thoughts for the better, redirecting your actions in a more beneficial direction.

How to start thinking positively

In fact, to start thinking positively, you just need to start! Start to celebrate positive moments in life: celebrate what makes you happy, instead of noticing what makes you sad; focus on what you have, instead of wanting endless benefits and experiencing envy; It’s important to praise yourself for your successes, even the smallest ones, but also to accept constructive criticism adequately in order to change the negative aspects! You can also make a list of positive thoughts that support and inspire you. Getting started can be difficult, but anything is possible! Try to start the day with a smile and gratitude for your precious birth, and in the evening before going to bed, remember what good things happened in your life today and what good things you did. Gradually, you will learn to celebrate the positive without even thinking about it, you will see the good in people or see in their actions an example of how to behave and how not to behave, and learn lessons even from unpleasant situations. The feeling of guilt before this world, other people and yourself will be replaced by an awareness of your causality and calmness. What if think positively, thoughts materialize in a positive way, and life in general will become simpler and more enjoyable.

A very important point in positive thinking - don’t paint yourself bright pictures of how good you are and how wonderful you are, how wonderful everyone around you is and how you love everyone, and they love you. Thinking in pictures means leaving your energy and part of yourself in your imagination. In reality, when our attention is stuck in something that no longer exists (the past), in something that does not yet exist (the future) or simply in a non-existent present (imagination), then the energy simply flows into nowhere, and there is no sense in these visualizations, but there is harm. It doesn’t matter to our mind in which reality you will be happy, real or imaginary, and it will happily imagine everything for you! And when you return to real reality (I apologize for the tautology), it will be painful from the awareness of the discrepancy between the imaginary and the real, sad from the useless waste of time and mental energy. Approach the visualization mindfully and meditate. For life to really begin to change, raise your consciousness to a different, qualitatively new level, stop running away from reality, accept it as it is and start acting! Any action begins in the head, allow yourself to think positively. The world won't collapse if you become a little happier! Define a goal, create a plan to achieve that goal, and start thinking positively as you achieve it! Start small and work your way up. Feel small positive sensations within yourself and big positive thoughts will appear. Then you will understand how to think positively in any difficulty. In this practice of positive thinking, as in many other activities, experience and practice are important. After all, if you want to pump up your abs, then you will perform exercises to strengthen them and make great efforts to achieve your goal, and in this particular case, in order to learn to think positively and do it correctly, hard practice is required.

How to force yourself to think positively

Our life can sometimes be unpredictable, and sometimes it is impossible to predict when and where the next lesson will lie in wait for you. How to think positively in any difficulty? Start small, because “a journey of 1000 miles begins with one step.”

Learning to let go of negativity. The practice of yoga and concentration will help you with this. When we practice asanas on the mat, it increases our awareness and releases hidden energy resources. Redirect your energy in a good direction - learn to concentrate on an object, a candle flame, water... The practice of concentration helps you to be more focused and teaches you to manage your attention. This way, you will learn to quickly and painlessly switch to positive thinking.
Learning to embrace the positive. The problem with some people who lack positive thinking is that they consider themselves unworthy of the best. Therefore, it is extremely important to accept yourself as you are without unnecessary self-flagellation. Try to evaluate yourself in terms of positive qualities and qualities that need to be worked on. Highlight the main thing and start working on yourself, praise yourself for your successes - this will help form the habit of positive thinking and save you from a number of unnecessary complexes. Accept the positive and change the negative. There is such an eastern wisdom: “If you don’t like the situation, change it, if you can’t change it, then change your attitude towards it.” And indeed, if you are unable to change something, then what is the point of lamenting about it?
We learn to ask the right questions to ourselves. Listen to people who complain about life... What are they talking about? Of course, about YOUR unhappy life, about YOURSELF! Do you think these people have nothing more to say? Of course there is! Try asking this person: “What good happened to you today?” And the person immediately switches his attention to the positive. You need to ask yourself this question more often. If the answer is not satisfactory, then ask another question: “What can I do to change the situation? What lessons did I learn today? What conclusions can be drawn? What can I do to become happier? What is true happiness for me? What can I do for my family, my friends, the world, to experience happiness?” By answering these or similar questions, you will realize many interesting things about yourself.
We learn to relax. Internal work, as well as external activities, can be tiring, so make sure you get quality rest. Do yoga, take a walk in nature, chat with like-minded people. Rest does not mean lying on the sofa in front of the TV, various parties with the use of intoxicating and mind-stupefying substances, as well as communication with people who lead you to degradation and even greater immersion in negative thoughts. If you want to have more energy and a higher quality of life, rest properly.
We learn to do well for ourselves. Do those things that benefit you. The ability to ask the right questions will help us here. For example: Eating 5 chocolates may be delicious, but how good is it for your body? Eat right, get enough sleep, and do practices that recharge you with energy. Try to communicate with sensible, positive-minded people who have a positive influence on you.
We learn to praise ourselves, to celebrate the good in ourselves. Frequently celebrate the positive events in your life and your good deeds that have benefited other living beings. This will guarantee your good mood and inner uplift. Over time, you will find that your mood will be difficult to influence by external factors in a negative way.
Learning to do good to others(unselfishly). Try just smiling at people. Studies have shown that when we meet a smiling person, we involuntarily begin to smile ourselves, as if we are “infected” by his good mood. I am always pleased to see an answering smile, and at the same time my own happiness does not decrease if I share it, but it becomes very pleasant in my soul from the realization that someone has felt better, and he will go into the world in a better mood and, perhaps , will also “infect” someone with happiness. Over time, you will want to do good things for other people more and more often.
Learning to celebrate the good in others. To make the world brighter, kinder and more pleasant, try to celebrate their good qualities in the people around you, thereby giving them the opportunity to show their best side.
Recharging in nature. For me, the best recharge and inexhaustible sources of energy are yoga and nature. With the help of yoga, you can change your internal energy and raise it up, and in nature you seem to be saturated with the energy of the sea, forest, ocean, mountains, rivers, earth and clear sky...

I hope you find this story useful and help you start thinking positively through self-awareness. Get started! And you will understand for yourself how to think positively and live to the fullest.

What good happened in your life today?

We can easily define what education is or how to distinguish a cultured person from a rude person. But not everyone will be able to clearly and specifically explain what a “positive person” is. “Someone with whom it is pleasant to communicate”, “a cheerful person”, “someone who loves and understands everyone” - people use these vague signs to describe a positive person. Despite the imprecision of the wording, we all recognize such people perfectly and are instinctively drawn to them.

1. Positive people don’t wait for a good day—they create it themselves.

"Waiting", "chance", "hope for luck" are the words of a passive contemplative and are never found in the vocabulary of a positive person. They tend to be very actively involved in shaping their lives. They work to make changes in the world around them to feel better during difficult times, rather than waiting for a unique combination of stars in the sky.

2. Positive people easily part with excess things.

Many people try to cling to their favorite ideas, things or even people until the last moment, spending their best strength and energy on it. Positive people easily allow everything superfluous and unnecessary to go away as soon as they understand that it interferes with their life.

3. The past must remain in the past.

Good and bad memories should remain exactly where they belong - in the past. Positive people don't spend a lot of time longing for the good old days because they are too busy working on their present and future. Negative experiences of the past are not used for self-flagellation or regret, but to analyze the causes and learn lessons as a stepping stone to a better future.

4. Gratitude is the middle name of a positive person.

Positive people do not focus on the rough edges and stones on their path, but are ready to sincerely thank God, fate, life for every step taken on the road. For every day full of new events, smells, impressions, feelings. They see life as a treasure chest full of wonders.

5. Positive people focus on their capabilities, not their limitations.

Optimistic people try to see what they can do rather than what they cannot do. They look for opportunities and solutions rather than focusing on why it can't be done. Even if they fail, they look for new options and make new attempts, without trying to blame everything on their first failure.

6. Positive people don’t let their fears affect their lives.

Anyone who is at the mercy of his fears and prejudices will never be able to live a full and open life. Positive people do not neglect reasonable safety measures, but they will never allow themselves, out of fear of the unknown, not to try an exotic dish, visit a new country or engage in a new activity.

7. Positive people smile a lot!

This is their most visible feature that everyone likes so much.

Positive people have a high degree of self-esteem but refuse to take themselves too seriously.

Positive people not only tend to be in a good mood themselves, but they also mysteriously know how to convey it to others. Optimism, an easy attitude to life, a good sense of humor and irony - all these qualities are mandatory signs of such people.

8. Sociability

It is difficult to imagine a positive person who would lead a closed, solitary, dull lifestyle. As a rule, such people love and are excellent at communicating, love to make new acquaintances and be in society. You won’t hear gossip and gossip from them, but rather you can expect live, sincere participation and real help.

9. Positive people know what pain and unhappiness are.

One of the biggest mistakes is thinking that positive people are always happy. Just as it is impossible to know the light without having been in the dark, just as it is impossible to appreciate good without comparing it with evil, positive people can suffer and despair.

They know very well what negative emotions are, but consciously choose the positive side.

10. Positive people take responsibility for their lives.

Positive people respect themselves too much to develop a victim complex. You won't hear them moaning or complaining about a bad boss, a grumpy wife, or a bad harvest. They will not blame other people or cosmic forces for their problems, but rely only on themselves and their own strengths.

As you can see, becoming a positive person is not at all difficult. You just need to purposefully work on yourself and cultivate the habits and skills listed above. Shall we try?

A positive person, like a magnet, attracts all good things to himself. By definition, cheerful people are considered dreamers and fools, and they are often condemned by realists. However, not everyone can look at life through the prism of goodness and love. The modern rhythm leaves its mark on society. More and more people suffer from a lack of time, they do not have the strength for everyday joys. To learn to notice small little things and enjoy them, you need to work on yourself.

Find something you like

First of all, a cheerful person should feel happy. To do this, he needs to do what he loves, which will bring him pleasure. Get out of the “robot” state that lives according to the “work-home” principle.
Do you prefer to create cute things with your own hands? Learn landscape design or enroll in a cutting and sewing school. Take a wood carving class, start beading or embroidery.
To become a cheerful person, you can learn the art of photography. Through the lens you will see all the beauty of the world around you and the people who entrusted you with capturing their lives. Take photos of animals, landscapes, friends and family. Print out the pictures and hang them around your apartment.
Physical activity is known to give you energy. Start playing sports. Buy a club card for the gym or start visiting the pool. Dance lessons are suitable for girls, mixed martial arts, kickboxing, karate, etc. for men.
If you don't have the opportunity to spend time actively, read fiction at home. Get rid of the habit of spending hours on social networks. Instead, develop spiritually, learn a foreign language or psychology (history, pedagogy, law, and so on).

Don't turn a blind eye to problems

It's hard to feel like a positive person when pressing problems occupy all your thoughts. Fight difficulties, do not put off solving them. Make a plan, analyze a particular case, look for solutions.
There is no need to try to solve problems at once. You will end up chasing two birds with one stone. Tired of fighting with your boss for a salary increase? Change your job, work for a company that will value your work.
For several years now you haven’t felt love and tenderness from your husband, haven’t you received signs of attention? Have a heart-to-heart talk, maybe you will break up or go back to the candy period. It is important to understand that problems do not last forever, there will be a solution.
In the modern world, more and more people are experiencing financial difficulties. To become confident in the future, try to find ways to earn extra money. Sell photos on the Internet, complete courses for hairdressers or nail technicians, receive clients at home.
People who have problems with excess body weight need to go on a diet. Balance your diet, start exercising (you can do it at home). Write down your achievements in a notebook, do not stop there.

Find joy in being with friends

A person can become happy thanks to simple things. This includes communicating with friends and family. The recommendation becomes especially relevant for introverts who prefer to be alone more.
Learn to take the initiative in communication, do not refuse an offer to go to the cinema or have lunch at a pizzeria. Getting together together will add color to your daily routine, making you feel better.
It is difficult to lead a full existence without interpersonal communication. If you close yourself in your shell, depression will begin to manifest itself much more often. Loneliness causes self-doubt, apathy, and irritability.
Even if your work day is scheduled by the hour, make time for your loved ones. It is not necessary to see them every day, 3 times a week is enough. Try to turn to friends not only in difficult moments of life, but share joyful events with them.
Create your own traditions. Make it a habit to go to a pizzeria on Saturdays or go to the cinema on Tuesdays. Let these days be only yours, freed from boring bosses and boring grumbling of household members.
Avoid communicating with people who obviously doom themselves to failure. This includes depressed (particularly negative) people who cannot find joy in their lives. Don’t listen to constant complaints about your husband/colleagues/brothers, don’t believe the words: “You won’t succeed!” You will succeed, try!
Refuse to communicate with hypocritical people who talk a lot behind their backs and smile in your eyes. Do not borrow money from strangers, avoid “bad” company. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated, attract only sincere and kind people into your life.

Fight stress

Modern man is daily subjected to a moral shake-up. It is difficult to feel like a cheerful person when you regularly experience the consequences of quarrels or other negative reactions.
Try to find your own ways to deal with stress. Learn to abstract yourself, solve problems as if they were not happening to you. Look at difficulties from the outside, think sensibly.
It is important to understand that you cannot accumulate negativity in yourself. Otherwise, it will burst out at the most inopportune moment. Talk to your best friend or make an appointment with a psychologist, get a diary or a pet.
To eliminate negative judgments, try not to be alone with your own thoughts. Realistically assess your capabilities. If you are too busy at your main job, you should not look for part-time activities.
To combat stress, you can take a fragrant bubble bath, listen to calm music, or watch a comedy. Many people find it helpful to take a nap during the day, so in any unclear situation, go to bed to rest.

Find your “I”

It is difficult to remain positive in those moments when you have to get up at 7 am, go to a job you don’t like and do boring things. Look for yourself in everything, explore the world, be in harmony with your mind and heart.
Sit down and think about where you see yourself in 5 years? Do you want to sit in your own office and deal with real estate? Get a job as a realtor in an agency, move up the career ladder, and learn the basics.
Learn to defend your own opinion, do not agree with people if you do not agree with their opinion. Don't let others tell you what to do in a given situation. First of all, you must have principles, your own judgment and moral principles.
Try not to expect more from your acquaintances than they can give you. Have you realized for a long time that your work colleague does not keep his promises? Stop dragging him into your life, leave the person alone.
Spend time only with those who value you. Don't be intrusive, be an open and friendly opponent. Don’t be shy to smile at the driver on the bus or the saleswoman in the store, spread goodness.
Be yourself, no matter the circumstances. Look for “your” person in everything: love, friendship, work. Don't wear masks, put your needs first when circumstances require it.

Train yourself to never give up, always hope for the best. Focus on all the good things in your life. Thoughts have a pleasant way of coming true, so dream more often.
Set big goals, they are easier to hit. Appreciate everything that you have in your life. Say “Thank you” more often! for loyal friends, obedient children, healthy parents. Everything else is a matter of profit.
A person who looks at the world through the eyes of a lover does not notice the surrounding shortcomings. Smile more often, attract kind people to you. Do not respond with mutual rudeness, do not accumulate resentment.

To become a positive and joyful person, you need to be positive. Find something you enjoy that will occupy all your free time. Look for joy in communicating with friends, solve problems in a timely manner, fight stress. Find yourself in your career, personal life, and society.

Video: how to be positive and happy

Films about people who were able to survive in inhuman conditions always fascinate us. The main characters overcome both physical pressure and severe emotional stress. As for ordinary people, many of them give up under less traumatic circumstances.

When difficulties arise in life, a person’s only enemy, preventing him from extracting a positive experience from the situation, is himself. If you develop flexibility of thinking, you can successfully overcome any black streak in your destiny. In this article we will look at 6 basic principles, adhering to which you can maintain positive thinking in any situation.

1. Don’t reproach yourself

When problems arise in life, many begin to blame themselves. People return to the past again and again and remember the mistakes they made, angry with themselves for having acted this way and not differently. However, it is impossible to go back to the past and correct it, so just accept reality and forgive your imperfections. Everyone makes mistakes, and you shouldn’t completely destroy your motivation to eliminate the consequences of your wrong actions.

2. Think about pleasant things

When a bad streak comes, it’s time to think about what you have achieved and what you have succeeded in. Remember the happy moments in life, dreams and plans and do not allow yourself to concentrate on bad events. By thinking positive thoughts, you will feel energized and will be able to solve everyday problems more effectively.

3. Play sports

Regular exercise allows you not only to get rid of stress and accumulated negativity, but also to strengthen your willpower, which will often help in various life circumstances. Even when everything is great in life, don’t forget about physical activity - at least 20 minutes a day to train your body and willpower.

4. Ignore gossip

Gossip and rumors are one of the ancient ways of human survival, which allowed one to surround oneself only with “successful” people. Nowadays people discuss others in order to rise in the eyes of their environment. Therefore, you should not pay attention, much less be upset, by rumors, which, moreover, are often exaggerated and distorted.

5. Let go of control from time to time.

Losing control over any situation can unsettle you. To survive this, try to look at your life from the perspective of a global process. So, if some situation is beyond your control, you can switch to something else. Many people who have an incurable illness do the same thing: they cannot influence the return of health, but they can influence their own lifestyle, mood and thoughts.

6. Don't be afraid to slow down

The pace of modern life quickly exhausts the nervous system, so try to slow down sometimes and devote some time to your hobby. Soon you will notice how your stress level gradually begins to decrease, and coping with problems becomes much easier.

Life is not always like a fairy tale. Sometimes there are sad moments in it. And only by maintaining positivity in our souls are we able to gain strength and energize ourselves to fight difficulties, achieve our goals and make the right decisions.

Often we have to struggle with negative emotions, feel deeply unhappy, lonely and misunderstood. But it is very easy to change your life for the better - you just need to follow the simple rules of a positive person.

Even in the worst moments of life there is something good

1. Looking for positivity in various situations

Look for that good thing. Fired from your job? This means there is a new one ahead, even more interesting. And with it new acquaintances and a new creative path. Was the train delayed? This is a reason to finally read your favorite book, or buy gifts for those closest to you. Did your daughter put on a biker jacket, tractor-soled boots and dye her hair green? Be glad that your child is free from the instinct of herd dullness - this is undoubtedly a reason to become closer to each other and teach your child a sense of proportion.

2. It is better to avoid people with negative emotions and thinking.

As a rule, they become the source of our bad mood. Constant complaints from colleagues about a hard life under the wing of a tyrant boss, “friends” gossiping about each other, relatives coming to visit only to gloat over our situation or, on the contrary, to borrow money - all these are factors that can simply be avoided . Friendship should bring only positive emotions. It is worth adding that we ourselves should forget how to complain.

3. Water does not flow under a lying stone.

Most people, when faced with difficulties and problems, simply try to forget about them. As a last resort, pour out your soul to your friends and, again, forget. But problems do not solve themselves, and a large number of them can be dealt with if you don’t sit with your hands folded.

Tired of a messy home? Give yourself at least ten minutes a day to clean. But every day. Do children make the lion's share of the mess? Come up with a game with your kids where prizes are awarded from mom and dad once a week for cleanliness and order in the house.

Money leaks by the river? Don’t even have time to hold your salary in your hands? Plan your spending in advance by making lists of necessary purchases. And never take more money to the store than is required according to the list - this will protect you from spontaneous purchases of things that you can completely do without.

Are you silently suffering from excess weight, shedding tears over the kilogram cake you are devouring? Love yourself for who you are or start your strict and tough path to an ideal figure. Fortune, as we know, smiles only on the brave.

Life is movement. Any action aimed at changing the situation will have its positive results, or at least experience. Which is also priceless.

By lifting the mood of other people, we lift it ourselves

When we are in a bad mood, we do not want to do good deeds. We don’t see the point in this and withdraw into our shell. But, as life shows, even a tiny kind deed can change depression to a smile when we make loved ones and complete strangers happy. And it doesn’t have to be the rescue of a drowned tractor, or Batman’s flight over a crime-ridden city. It could be just a note in a couple of tender lines that you stuffed into your daughter's pocket. Or a culinary surprise for a husband who has been dreaming of meat stew with a cheese crust in a pot for so long.

The desire to make someone happier simply inevitably makes us happy.

Follow your thoughts and desires!

Thoughts are a material phenomenon:“If you stare into an abyss for too long, the abyss begins to stare back at you.”

This has been proven for a long time. If you are very afraid of something, sooner or later it will happen. If you constantly live with negative thoughts, it becomes a way of life. And then it’s very difficult to cut this knot and force yourself to think positively.

First of all, you should drive away all negative thoughts. Categorically and mercilessly. Doesn't work? Abstract yourself. Doesn't work again? Distract yourself with physical work - it always helps. Don't attract negativity to yourself with bad thoughts. Think only about the good and set yourself up only for the positive.

Never say “IF it works out...” about something you’ve been waiting for. Say “WHEN”, affirming in your mind the fact that this long-awaited will definitely come true.

The force of gravity in action

A positive, positive-minded person invariably attracts all the best to himself. With such a person, whose eyes are full of love for life, whose language is humor, whose credo is “not a day without a smile” and “down with depression,” you want to be friends and communicate. Such a person is always surrounded by friends and is the life of the party. It is unlikely that he would attract anyone, constantly complaining about his difficult fate, sighing and washing down his grief in the corner of the tavern with a bottle of strong beer.

How to become a positive person?

Don't accumulate negative emotions within yourself. Free your mind from grievances and unpleasant memories for joyful thoughts.
Get rid of from the habit of reproaching yourself for mistakes.
Don't deny yourself in what gives you pleasure - dance, sing, listen to music, engage in creativity or sports. The main thing is that all negative emotions have a way out. And not on loved ones, but through psychological release, and thanks to the hormones of happiness.
Smile . Smile as soon as you wake up. Smile in response to someone's rudeness in public transport. Smile when you feel bad. Humor and smiles devalue the seriousness of problems; they are the best analgesic for sadness and depression. Thank fate for every moment of joy given, for every day you live and learn to think only positively. Share your smiles. Sincerely, from the heart, give smiles at work, at home, on the street. Let 50 people out of a hundred think that you are not all at home, but the other 50 will smile back at you. This therapy is guaranteed to help get rid of depression. In a photo studio, take pictures of the smiling, or better yet, laughing faces of each family member in the largest possible format. Hang pictures on the walls of your apartment. Walking past them, you will involuntarily smile.
Create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in your home. There are a great many ways to do this. The only walls that help are those of the house you want to return to.
Find at least half an hour a day for self-indulgence. Relaxation and relaxation alone with yourself and your favorite pastime is simply a must in an optimist’s daily routine.
Experiment with your life. Change your hairstyles, clothing style, handbags and place of residence. Rearrange your furniture and travel. Movement and change of impressions are the best cure for depression.

Smells and good mood

It has long been known that the smell can make you dizzy, plunge you into depression, lift your spirits, cure and, on the contrary, cause the manifestation of illness. Smells, as provocateurs of emotions, can remind of certain events in life, calm or excite the blood:

It is useful to remember that the aromas of citrus fruits and ginger help fight depression and anxiety.
The scent of rosemary promotes concentration and stimulates brain activity.
Lavender, which has a calming effect, helps relieve anxiety, fear and irritability.
You can also get a boost of energy from the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
A well-known antidepressant is vanilla. The aroma of vanilla relaxes, improves mood and, by the way, for those who want to lose weight, it interrupts the desire to put something sweet in their mouth.

Don’t put off the “path to optimism” for later. Get started now. Optimism must become chronic and incurable. Smile, girls! And don’t forget to share your thoughts on the topic with us!
