There are times in each of our lives when it seems like the world has collapsed. There can be a great many reasons for this: seasonal depression, failures in your personal life or career, health problems or. And what more people complains about life, the more grief it brings him. How to break out of this state? How to set yourself up for positivity?
Why is a positive attitude so important?
Positive attitude plays important role in how a person’s life will turn out. Pessimists, bores and whiners rarely achieve anything in life. But optimists who are positive-minded easily overcome difficulties and strive at full speed towards their goal. And they achieve it!
What is the secret to staying positive? It has long been proven that a person attracts to himself the energy that he himself gives to the world, according to the principle of mirror reflection. Being angry at failures, seeing only the bad in one’s own life, considering oneself a “loser,” a person seems to be programming himself for further failures and defeats. “I will never succeed in this”, “I will never be able to achieve this” - by saying these phrases, a person dooms himself, he really will never succeed and achieve nothing.
Look around: lucky people are mostly positive, cheerful, who know how to enjoy life and give positive emotions to others. Luck is attracted to them like a magnet. One has only to become limp, fall into depression, begin to get upset over trifles and consider oneself unlucky - and life will be filled with problems and failures.
People are designed in such a way that they notice the bad, but do not attach importance to the good. Positivity theory assumes a completely opposite worldview. You should stop being sad about your existing problems and start enjoying the good things you have. Remember that thoughts materialize - therefore a positive attitude is simply necessary for those who want to take the best from life. Love your life and it will love you back!
Positive attitude: where to start?
How to set yourself up for positivity? First of all, you need to stop crying, complaining about life and seeing only negative things in it. And the main thing is to stop envying those who, in your opinion, live better than you. Remember the saying “It’s good where we are not” - if you live your whole life based on this principle, then happiness will never knock on your door. Instead of looking for advantages in someone else’s life, it’s better to take care of “improving” your own.
A positive attitude is impossible without self-love. Stop focusing on your shortcomings, forget about your own complexes, cross out the failures of past years in your memory. Tell yourself that you deserve only the best and from now on direct the ship of your life to achieve your goals.
Treat yourself to something. Start small: eat a delicious chocolate bar or listen to your favorite music. If you haven’t had enough sleep for a long time, take a day off and get a good sleep, if you’ve neglected your appearance– visit a beauty salon or, if you haven’t seen your friends for a hundred years, organize a get-together or go to a club with them. Moments of joy and fulfillment of small desires will attract a positive attitude into your life.
Positive Attitude Techniques
IN Lately gained particular popularity simoron technique– the magical science of attracting good luck. Absurd, easy and pleasant to use, simoron is rightfully considered the best technique for a positive attitude at the moment.

You should pronounce various positive statements more often, as if programming yourself.

Another useful exercise - visualization. This is a mental representation, a kind of “picture” of what a person dreams of, what he strives for. It is recommended to visualize before going to bed, closing your eyes and clearly imagining the realization of your dream.
Personal horoscope. Try creating your own personal horoscope in the first person for a certain period of time. Predict to yourself everything you want, what you strive for, what you dream about.

Make your wish card bright, beautiful and hang it in a prominent place so that you can meet your dreams every day and remember that they are waiting - they can’t wait for you to start making them come true.
So, you have a positive attitude – now it’s just a matter of small things: start being active and take certain steps towards improving your own life. A positive attitude towards the surrounding reality will help you find the right ways to solve problems, overcome them with ease and start a new life full of colors. The main thing is to do everything with pleasure, with joy, with soul.

If you think that everything in life depends only on us, then you should master the skills of positive thinking, this will allow you to attract more joy, happiness and success!

How to achieve success with positive thinking?
A good day begins when we open our eyes and decide that today will be a good day. Abraham Lincoln¹ said: “People are only as happy as they decide to be.”
You choose your thoughts and create your own mood. If you have some plans after work and are looking forward to this event, then no matter what happens during the day, it will not spoil your mood, as you will be focused on the positive.
By adhering to positive thinking, you do not control your life, do not worry or worry, but only enjoy every happy day.
What does it take to get into a positive mindset?
Wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual to set yourself up for a positive and joyful day. Think about positive experiences and pleasant events that have happened in your life. If negative thoughts arise out of habit, try to replace them with positive impressions or the opposite positive thoughts.
There is a good exercise that allows you to set yourself up for positive thinking - as soon as an unpleasant thought appears in your head, mentally say the exact opposite positive statement 3 times. By controlling your thoughts in this way, you will very soon notice how you yourself will change and how your life will change for the better.
Make a list of what you want in your life. You can't get something if you don't know what you need. This wish list should be very personal and should not be shown to anyone.
Think about this list, imagine each of your desires as vividly as possible so as not to lose your positive attitude and motivation. Don’t let any circumstances change your attitude, try to see the positive sides in everything⁴.
From time to time, for various reasons, you will lose optimism, at which point negative thoughts and emotions will come to the fore. Don't fight them - admit that they exist and try to reformulate them in a positive way.
It is absolutely normal for a person to feel disappointed and upset. But don't stay in this state for long. Remember that you get out of life what you put into it. If you broadcast positive thoughts and emotions, they will come back to you as pleasant and happy events.
Think positively. When you think positively, your chances of achieving your desires on your list increase. Think about what you need to do to achieve your goals. When we want to achieve something, we take action in this direction every day.
By practicing positive thinking, we can control and direct our future in the right direction. Your wish list should motivate you to think and act positively. Even if you take small steps, you will still get closer to success every day.
Believe in yourself² and you will certainly achieve what you want!
Productivity is something that is difficult to maintain every day for a long time. It often depends on the mood in which you woke up or on your physical condition. Sometimes it happens that you are ready to move mountains in the morning, but more often, on the contrary, you don’t feel like working at all. After observing people who have no problems with productivity, we can come to the conclusion that they all use some set of actions that help them get ready in the morning before work. And what works for one can work for others, right? Therefore, below I will allow myself to give a number of tips that can help you maintain productivity and start each working day with energy.
Create a Ritual
Quite a popular tip that you might have seen in many books on time management and productivity. IN in this case It’s about coming up with some kind of action for yourself that turns you on and puts you in a certain mood. For some it is energetic exercise, for others it is necessary to take a shower, for others they cannot start the day without a cup of coffee. The main thing here is to activate your physical energy and find strength for a new day. Your humble servant works from home, so for me, a little exercise and a cup of good, tasty green tea became such a ritual. Create your own ritual that will turn you on and tune you in.
Improve yourself
After you have woken up physically, especially if you have been doing exercises, you need to relax a little. Read the next chapter of a book, learn something new, or, on the contrary, calm your mind and get rid of unnecessary things from your head. At this stage, you can read something about productivity and immediately put it into practice.
Meditation will also relax you very well and set you up for the work day. In addition, you can read inspiring quotes or study competitors' projects. We have very little time for self-education and creating inspiration, so the morning is a great time to devote half an hour to your loved ones.
Write what you would like to do
Starting the day without a clear plan is like driving a car on a foggy day. In principle, you will get where you need to go, but it will take more time. In the process of complicated traffic you will feel less confident. In a word, the analogy is obvious.
Make a clear plan for the whole day, and if that doesn’t help, write down what you would like to do today and why you want to do it. The feeling will be completely different: you are driving on a good road on a sunny day, and even with GPS.
Visualize your results
Everything we do has a result, doesn't it? If you find it difficult to do some work, simply realize its importance by visualizing the result. Think about it this way: Today I need to do A, B, and C because it will lead to X, Y, and Z.
Once you realize all the positive and negative results of your activities and understand how important some of them are in your life, you will immediately feel a wave of motivation. All that remains is to use and prolong this feeling.
Do it
If you've followed all the previous steps, then you're already more productive than most people. The most important thing is to carry out what you plan, so you will feel the fullness of life.
You are cheerful, today you have already learned something new, you have a clear plan of action and you know where all this will lead. Take action!
Positive attitude for the day
Dear friends, today I want to offer you one way to change your life, change it for the better, towards the positive (which is so often talked about now), and reduce the negativity in your life.
There is such a thing as positive attitude for the day, it is done in the morning so that you are accompanied only positive mood and good events.
There are different moods for different things, but today we will talk about the mood for a good mood throughout the day. What happens if a person is in a good mood? He perceives life brighter, the grass is greener, the sun is warmer, all people smile more, etc. In essence, a positive attitude is positive thinking.
Remember that old joke?
One family had two children, one a pessimist, the other an optimist. And so it’s necessary to give gifts for children’s birthdays, but there’s not enough money for two gifts, so they came up with such a thing. The pessimist was given a wooden horse, and the optimist was given horse manure near the bed. Wakes up in the morning negative child and burst into tears: “I wanted a live horse, but you gave me a wooden one... ahh” The parents, of course, were upset. What does a positive child do? He wakes up in the morning, hears his brother’s roar and says: “It’s great that
They gave me a live horse, but it ran away, only the dung remained.”
This is, of course, an anecdote, to be sure. But pessimists are always dissatisfied with the events happening in their lives and it is very difficult for them to receive positive emotions from life. Therefore, I propose to retrain yourself as an optimist.
Procedure:
- Need to make up key phrase which you will say to yourself or out loud. It doesn't hurt to prepare musical accompaniment, maybe a few songs that you like and lift your spirits or some compositions that energize you.
- Get up in the morning, turn on the music and start saying the phrase you have stored up; you can perform this action while you are getting ready for work or doing some business.
How to create a key phrase?
The key phrase should be meaningful in meaning, not long, no more than 7-8 words, containing statements in the present tense, not containing the particle “not”, there should also be words that raise your self-esteem, “I am worthy”, “I can do it” , “I can”, “I do”, etc.
There is also a moment when while pronouncing a key phrase, you can concentrate. What it is? You imagine your whole day by events in detail, because you know approximately how your day will go, and now you imagine it in the smallest detail, and most importantly, in a positive way, all your affairs have a positive outcome. Thus, we draw up a program of action for our subconscious for the whole day. Do not be afraid, this action will not take much time, a few minutes at most, all processes in our imagination occur quite quickly.
The mood is very similar to affirmations, but only similar, the mood is more effective, and it works much faster.
Let's look at a few negative phrases as an example, and how they will sound from the point of view of affirmations, positive attitude and positive thinking.
For example, the phrase:
"I don't have money to buy gas stove for $400."
What will an affirmation sound like if I have no money? - “I earn more and more every day.” Or - “I easily earn $400” or - “I easily earn money for household goods.” These are all examples of affirmations.
The following phrases are closer to a positive attitude: I can, I will, I am worthy, and the motto “If not me, then who.” And it will sound something like this: “I can earn $400 for a stove.” Or “I can earn money or find kitchen stove the money I need." Please note that we did not specify where to find it. You can find it from your husband, you can find it on the street. But what is the most important thing in this phrase? - "I can". The inner attitude is that I will succeed. AND Positive Thinking: If we don’t have $400 for a stove now, how much do we have? - I now have $100 for a stove. And there is also a variant of the phrase for zealous housewives: “I can put aside $100 for the stove now” and immediately put it aside - “The boy said it, the boy did it.”
In the first case, we form an affirmation: “Every day I earn more and more. My financial flow is increasing and increasing...” We form some key phrase, which we will then use to our advantage, saying it repeatedly. The phrase affects our subconscious, the subconscious is gradually rebuilt, and we will be able to perceive money more easily. In the second case, we convince ourselves that we are worthy, we can, we will succeed.
The key phrase begins with the words “I can...” or “I can do...”. In the third case, we perceive and describe the situation that exists now based on a positive, optimistic outlook on life.
Life is a series of black and white stripes. Often meetings are followed by partings, successes are followed by failures, joys are followed by sadness and disappointments. However, it also happens that even in cloudless periods we are sad for some reason... Let's find out how to tune in to the positive so as not to waste precious mental strength, getting upset over trifles.
The importance of a positive attitude and good thoughts
A good mood is the key to success in everything. And constant complaints about failures lead to nothing but negativity, envy and constant dissatisfaction with oneself (and here we are rather talking about women, because almost every second one “sins” with such behavior).
Living in constant stress is simply unbearable, so you need to learn to think optimistically. A positive attitude can change your life for the better because:
- Optimism literally attracts good luck and happiness, because a person who exudes positivity is a priori happy.
- Positive people are treated very positively: you want to communicate with them, spend leisure time, and build friendly, trusting relationships.
- A good mood in the morning charges you with vigor and energy for the whole day.
- A balanced person is more resistant to various diseases; it is not for nothing that they say that all diseases originate in our head.
- Positively minded people are also attractive in appearance, because a smile always makes a person beautiful.
- A person who thinks positively will never give up; he will cope with any difficulties, and therefore moves quickly and achieves success in all endeavors.
- The absence of negativity frees you from meaningless thoughts and rash actions, depression and loneliness.
- A positive attitude is the key to happy family relationships.
How to get rid of bad thoughts
It is useless to tune in to the wave of positivity without freeing yourself from negative thoughts. Therefore, first you should get rid of all the negativity from your head. The following tips will help you do this:
- Figure out what is the cause of your anxiety. Divide a blank sheet of paper into three columns. In the first, write down all your fears, in the second, note the basis of these worries, and in the third, your actions to eliminate them.
- Don’t hide from obsessive negative thoughts, don’t ignore them. Even after letting you go for a while, they accumulate in the subconscious and can “cover” you at the most inopportune moment.
- Don't let negativity get into your head. Anxious thoughts should be eliminated at the stage of their occurrence. Get into the habit of switching to any interesting activity, barely realizing that you are starting to worry.
- Don't be afraid to accept independent decisions. If you are plagued by doubts, you cannot come to a consensus with your own thoughts, you are unable to do right choice, throw aside all fears and finally make a decision. Even if it turns out to be incorrect, it will be your personal experience.
- Don't exaggerate the significance of problems. Just think: not even a year will pass before you forget about those thoughts that are keeping you from sleeping today.
- Look for the positive in every situation. Human psychology is designed in such a way that he easily notices the downsides, but to see the upsides, he has to make an effort.
- Do not suffer for months and years with feelings of guilt in front of people who have offended you. It’s better to try to change the situation, take action, and don’t isolate yourself. Get over yourself, try to ask for forgiveness for the first time in your life, don’t be shy and help with deeds, and not just with words. Depression often arises precisely because of the feeling of guilt, which follows a person like a train, giving him no peace.
- Learn to forgive. Resentment towards loved ones or anger at oneself has a destructive effect on the psyche. Forgiveness will give you a feeling of inner freedom.
- Fight against the wild imagination that bright colors paints pictures in your head about the sad outcome of problems. Remember that you can find a way out of any situation. Instead of fantasizing, it’s better to plan using simple psychological technique: just write down point by point how you can turn what happened in your direction; By visualizing what is written in your own hand, you will convey important thoughts to your consciousness.
The power of thought: how to ride the wave of positivity
Getting rid of negativity is not enough; you must not allow it to return. To do this, you need to change your lifestyle, behavior and even your worldview.
- First of all, do only the things you love. Each of them should bring exceptional joy and pleasure.
- Secondly, open yourself to new experiences. A positive shake-up is what is needed for a positive attitude. Skydiving, scuba diving, hang gliding - these or other extreme activities that are unusual for you will bring a lot of new emotions and, perhaps, make you think about a new hobby.
- Thirdly, listen to yourself and learn to relax. Sometimes problems at work, in the family or in other areas are due to the fact that we are not in the right mood, we work endlessly and forget about rest. If it occurs when you are lying in a bath filled with warm foamy water and reading a book by your favorite author, then ask your loved ones to give you a couple of hours of peace and quiet. Most likely, they will be sympathetic to your request. Trips to the theater, museum, cinema, meetings with friends and outdoor recreation should happen more than once a year, but much more often, because they drive away the blues and drive away fatigue.
- Don't put an unbearable burden on your shoulders. If you understand that you cannot cope with a large amount of work alone, then do not take it on in pursuit of a bonus. It’s better to be healthy and fresh than to hold rustling banknotes in your hands, but not have the strength to do anything.
- Be respectful of other people's rules and principles. If you don’t like someone’s judgment, you shouldn’t take it with hostility. Having a condescending attitude towards people will bring positivity to both them and you.
- Dream. All thoughts are material, so in your free moments, imagine that your dream has come true.
- Love yourself. Pamper yourself with gifts, with or without reason, praise for your successes, don’t get hung up on external shortcomings, but don't forget to work on the internal ones.
A positive attitude allows you to enjoy every day and thank fate for the wonderful world in which we live. Be optimistic, exude light and joy, infect other people with a good mood, then you will not only be happy yourself, but also give a piece of goodness to others.
