Top 11 Tips to be more Positive

Keep a diary: Always learn from situations. You could keep a diary and jot down your thoughts, reactions and emotions along with the circumstances that created them. For example: If someone or something irritates you at work, write it down. Also, note down how you reacted to the situation and how you could have handled it better. Make sure you read the diary regularly and do a self-check to find out if you’ve started thinking positive.

Take responsibility: Cut the drama, stop playing the victim. Stop saying things like – why me? I am stuck, there’s no way out. There is always a way out. You just have to make the right choice for the change to happen.

Make someone feel better: Help a person who is in need of it. Give your clothes to poor and needy. Donate books to poor children. It will take your mind off the negative things and you will feel better when you see some happy faces enjoying the food you cooked.

You are unique: You are the way you are – there is no point in trying to be someone else. It’s just a losing battle to compare yourself to others. Why should you be ‘normal’ when you can be awesome! So, being positive and thinking positive lets you be your awesome self.

Misinterpretation: Remember, negative thoughts are mostly based on misinterpreted situations. So, do a quick check – do you have your facts right? Are they based on pessimism? Are you jumping to the worse conclusions with no actual reason? Try moving your thoughts to more positive ones.

Face your fear: Here’s one sure fire way to achieve long-term positivity. Question yourself as to why you are thinking negatively. What are you frightened of – breaking up with your partner, losing your family, losing your friends? All you have to do is face your fear – think about how you can cope in case such things happen, what you can do. Once you’ve faced your worst fear, these situations will instantly get less scary.

Find an optimistic quote or saying and keep it in our wallet or pocket: When you are a little unsure or feeling like a pick-me-up, check it for a quick reference. Here are some famous quotes you might start off with:

• "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." ― Dr. Seuss
• "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." ― Anne Frank
• "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." ― James Branch Cabell

Stay close to positive people: Stay close to friends who are think positive – Friends who will be there for you when they need them and give you helpful advice. Being around negative people might increase your stress levels and may even make you doubt your own ability.




Imagine that we're already a positive person and we love life: The only thing between us and our desire to be happy is one single fact: we are not happy because of how we think. This little known fact keeps many from reaching their goal of happiness. If we keep thinking things like "My life sucks!", then life will seem like it really is that bad.

Focus our imagination and efforts on becoming that new positive person: It is much easier to bring about change if we just put our mind to it and change our thoughts. We can't always control things that happen in our lives, but we can, with some effort, control what we think .

Find a solution: Instead of brooding over the problem you are facing, find a solution. Don’t let the problem beat you. Get a handle over your emotions and use the ‘I Can’ mantra instead of ‘I Can’t’. This will surely put you in a positive state of mind!
