Tip 1 –Keep a gratitude journal.
We all have bad days and sometimes even the simplest things canruinyour whole day. However, it is important to always focus on and remember all the things we are grateful for in our lives. One way to successfully do this is to keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal is a place to write down all the things you are grateful and thankful for in your life. Try adding more things to your journal each day, go back to previous days and think about things you were grateful for in the past. Keeping these things in mind and remembering these things will help keep your brain thinking positively.
tip 2- Redesign your challenges.
We will all face challenges in our lives, and these challenges can relate to all walks of life and everything we do. The key to staying positive during a challenging time is not letting a challenge get you down. Instead, we must assess the challenge and then allow ourselves to find a new positive solution to the problem. That way, we can still get the job done and be proud of having completed a challenge.
Tip 3 –Get good at being rejected.
We will all encounter reactions at some point in our lives, and the most important thing about rejection is learning to deal with it. Some people will allow rejection to destroy them. It will plunge them into a pit of despair and ruin their confidence in the future. However, we must not allow this. Instead, we need to assess what went wrong and find a solution to avoid the same thing in the future.
tip 4– Use positive words to describe your life.
The words you use to describe your own life can be very powerful. As you talk about your own life, so will your life be. Your brain will evaluate the things you say about your own life and your mind will listen to what you have to say. The way you talk about your life affects the way your brain and body view your life and ultimately affects the way you live your life. Choose your words carefully and try to describe your life in a positive light.
Tip 5 –Substitutetercomto receive.
There are so many moments in life when we describe something we "have to" do. For example: "I 'have to' go to work" or "I 'have to' clean up". Now see what happens when we change the word "have" to "get"; “I “can” go to work” or “I “can” clean”. That simple word changes the way you think about doing things and makes you feel more grateful for being able to do those things. Just remember that there are fewer and fewer happy people out there who don't have the means, skill or strength to do half the things you do. So change the way you look at things and be grateful for all the things you can do in your life.
Tip 6 –Don't get carried away by the complaints of others.
You will often have to listen to co-workers, friends or family members about things they don't like about their own lives. We often hear the complaints of others, but we must not allow these complaints to affect our own lives. Often people complain about something to the point where you start agreeing with them on the same thing. But we must not allow this. Just be there to listen to them and then give them the kind of positive feedback that will allow both you and them to end the conversation on a much more positive note.
Tip 7 –Breathe.
Taking a deep breath can make us feel calm and peaceful. It's important to take some time each day to focus on our breath and allow ourselves to feel each breath we take. The way we breathe can be deeply connected to our emotions and the way we perceive things. Therefore, it is extremely important to focus on natural breathing, neither too fast nor too slow, so that we can feel relaxed and at peace throughout the day.
Tip 8 –Heed the righteous in times of tragedy.
In a world of hate and disaster, it can be easy to get caught up in the news of tragedy and despair. However, there are also stories of heroes and people who go out of their way to help others. It's important to focus on these heroes and the good news of the world and try to focus less on the devastation and terrible news of things happening around the world. Wherever there's something bad in the world, there's usually always something good to be found. Focus on that part and try to block out the bad parts.
Tip 9 –Have solutions when pointing out problems.
Being a positive person doesn't mean you have to completely ignore the negative things in life. Everyone will encounter problems in their lives no matter how hard they try to focus on being a positive person. The important thing is that whenever we face a problem, we find a positive solution and focus on that solution to overcome this difficult moment.
Tip 10 –Make someone else smile.
Making someone smile is one of the most rewarding things you can do in life and it will ultimately make you very happy. We often believe that we always put ourselves first and think of ourselves instead of others. However, we should all take the time to think about others and try to make a positive impact on someone else's day. Think of something that will make someone happy and do it. You will both feel good and it will make you both smile which is a win-win situation.
