Optimism and belief in the best are necessary for a fulfilling life, self-development, spiritual and physical health. However, due to various life troubles or due to the setting of difficult-to-achieve goals, greed and envy, people lose their positive outlook.
Reasons for the loss of a positive outlook
Analyze what is not going the way you would like in your life. To do this, take a sheet of paper and a pen, line it in two halves. In the right one write everything that you want to achieve, in the left one - everything that you have at the moment. Compare desired and actual results. For each of them, ask yourself questions: what have you done in order to achieve this goal? Is it your fault that the problem was never solved? What else can you do to make your dream come true? Is this dream real? Do you really need it? Sometimes it is much easier to give up some kind of mercantile desires than to try, straining with all your might, to realize them.
Set realistic goals and achieve them. Outline a plan of action that you will implement in order to become a happy person. Believe that everything will work out for you.
How to learn to see the future in bright colors
Develop a positive outlook, for this self-development techniques such as yoga, meditation, working with affirmations, reading special literature, etc. are suitable. Surround yourself with positive-minded people, avoid communication with whiners and fearful pessimists. Cheerful, optimistic friends will instill in you the very faith you need for the best.
Make it a rule to find positive points in every situation. For example, suppose you were reprimanded by your boss for a job you did poorly. Think about the fact that now you will work more efficiently, your leader, willingly or not, gave you an incentive to progress, which without this reprimand might not have taken place.
Change your habits. It’s not surprising that you don’t have faith in the best if your favorite reading material is crime news and your favorite TV show is the chronicle of incidents. Remember that some journalists, in pursuit of a sensation, often dramatize what happened. Try to switch to cognitive or humorous programs and books, broaden your horizons, because there are so many interesting things in the world.
If faith in the best is lost after any negative events that have happened to you, remember that over time your pain will pass or dull, that the black stripe must be followed by a light one, that in the life of every person there are losses, illnesses and other problems, but this is not a reason to give up.
Unite with people who are as suffering and seeking the best as you are. Finding the path to victory together is much easier than alone. This can be done both independently and by contacting a psychological support group. Just do not succumb to the temptations of mutual pity and endless lamentations for life. Remember your goal - to gain faith and hope for a brighter future. Individual counseling from a psychologist can help you cope with your problem.
Please note that in some cases, the inability to believe in the best, enjoy life, etc. are signs of chronic depression, the treatment of which should be prescribed by an experienced psychotherapist.
Realize your potential, each one is different. Think about your dreams, look for a favorite thing, from which you would receive moral satisfaction. It can be any hobby, faith in God, charity, etc. When you enjoy life, you will surely gain faith in the best.
