How to Positive Think in live Life
1.
Negativity doesn’t work – Literally – Our subconscious brain can’t handle it.
The other thing about
negativity is that our
brains can’t process negative words according to the latest studies. So when we hear
phrase like “don’t smoke” or “don’t touch that,” our subconscious skips over
these negative words and simply hears “smoke” or “touch that.” Our conscious mind can
obviously process these words, but it’s the subconscious that makes a lot of
our decisions without
us realizing.
For young children,
this can often be an issue because they haven’t learned to use their conscious
minds to process those negative words and take control of the subconscious to
make sure they follow instructions correctly. It’s no surprise why children decide
that way if you look at the split between conscious and subconscious mind
according to psychology:
What this means for
us is that we struggle to change our habits or thought patterns when we tell
ourselves negative phrases, since only our conscious minds can take those in.
We can make this much easier and let the subconscious do its job by using positively-framed
phrases like “refrain from smoking” or “walk away from that.”
2 : You’ll improve your outlook of the future and You’ll be more healthy.
Positive thinking can actually improve our overall happiness. I’ve written about this before in terms of noting down things we’re grateful for on a regular basis and how that can improve our happiness.
also showed that positive emotions are more likely to encourage people to plan ahead and think of actions they would like to take or activities they’d like to participate in the future. Negative emotions, on the other hand, led to participants being less inclined to think positively about their future. and Yep, positivity has shown to directly affect your physical health.used the ancient practice of loving-kindness meditation to test how cultivating positive feelings like love, compassion and goodwill towards others could affect the emotional and physical health of the participants.
Compared to the control group who did not participate in the meditation, the meditators showed increases in positive emotions like amusement, awe and gratitude during the research period. They also reported feeling more socially connected and closer to the people around them.Physically, these participants showed improvements in vagal tone which is linked to cardiovascular health and a general indicator of physical well-being.
"Another common habit
that too few people actually do is flossing daily. So my advice is just floss
one tooth the first night.
Of course, that seems
so ridiculous most people laugh. But I’m totally serious: if you start out
exceedingly small, you won’t say no. You’ll feel crazy if you don’t do it. And
so you’ll actually do it!
That’s the point.
Actually doing the habit is much more important than how much you do".
3 : Take note of 1 positive moment every day.
Noticing the positive
things that happen in your everyday life has been proven to be a
successful method of
increasing your positive thinking. This doesn’t just happen when you’re doing
the exercise: the effects can actually last much longer.
A study of 90 undergraduate students had one half of them write about positive experiences for three consecutive days. The second half wrote about control topics that didn’t affect their emotions. After three months, the study found that the students who had written about positive experiences still had better mood levels and fewer illnesses. If your best ideas and reflections of positive moments always happen in the shower like they do for me, not to worry, you can take notes there too with something like Acqua notes: One activity that’s often said to improve positivity is to write down (or share with someone) three things you’re grateful for at the end of each day.
4 : Try
to Meditate –
2 minutes is enough.
Meditating is beneficial
for the body and mind.
It not only improves mindfulness and positive thinking while you’re doing it,
but it has
been shown to
decrease illness and improve mindfulness and feelings of purpose in life up to
three months after being practiced daily for a short period.
Starting small works
for meditating, as well. recommends just 2 minutes to start with,
which is easy to do and helpful in developing a strong habit. After
establishing the habit for several weeks, you can slowly increase the length of
your meditation sessions to an amount that gives you the most benefit.
