You might already know that thinking positive and being optimistic is important for being happy and bringing good things into your life. For many of us, it's a daily struggle to be optimistic and believe that our dreams can come true. Feeling trapped or depressed about our life and circumstances can lead to depression, sadness and the thought that things will never change. Eliminating these negative thought patterns and trying to be optimistic is often very difficult but there are a few things that you can do to get moving in the right direction and become happier in the process.
Mornings are often the worst time for many of us. We wake up and we're confronted with another day of the same old thing. It could be a job that we loathe, a relationship that is sucking the life out of us or overwhelming debt that brings with it constant worry. You drag yourself out of bed and you're hit with the reality of the situation and your life.
Make a deal with yourself that you're not going to let these negative thoughts take up space in your mind for a certain amount of time each morning. When you are confronted with these bad thoughts, look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're going to put off even thinking about these things until you've had a cup of coffee or until you're fully awake. Love yourself and give yourself a break first thing in the morning. Without your mind functioning at its best, nothing good is going to come from this worry and you're only going to get a bad start to your day.
Knowing that you're thinking in a negative fashion or that you're worrying excessively is another thing that you can do to circumvent the real problem at hand. Knowing that you're working against yourself and focusing on the problem instead of allowing a solution to come into your mind might be a good way to look at this. Fear and worry cloud your judgement. They block your intuition while positive thoughts filled with optimism about your ability to find a solution to the problem at hand helps your mind to work to find that 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.
Being tough on yourself when these negative emotions invade your serenity can be difficult at times. You might think that you spend more time trying to push back against these emotions than you do living in this happy, positive state but if you're persistent, eventually being positive in light of any circumstance will become a habit. Being happy and optimistic is healthier and more productive than being negative and pessimistic. Knowing this and acting upon this knowledge can help you to make the changes necessary in your life to bring your dreams to reality.
If you're not in the habit of doing so, try putting some time aside when you can be alone with your thoughts and dream about what you really want. Look at photos that motivate you and make you happy while giving yourself permission to dream. Visualization is a practice that successful people around the world have spoken of time and time again as something that came before anything great that they ever did. The most successful businessmen in the world thought about their success before they ever did a thing. The tallest skyscraper in the world was a thought in the designers head before the ground was ever broken. What makes you think that your life and your dreams are any different. Think about what you want, get a bearing on the direction that you need to go and give yourself permission to achieve that goal. You deserve to live a happy life and not one filled with fear and debilitating worry.
