Positive thinking is the magic key to a harmonious state. The inclination to good and pleasant thoughts, the ability to see not only the bad, even in the worst situation, allows you to establish contact with the outside world, get rid of internal problems, and achieve your goals. But how do you start forming positive thinking in yourself? There are several easy, but very effective ways.
Closing the door to the past. Very often, hard thoughts and negative emotions evoke memories of some events from the past. A person can unwittingly "get stuck" in the already past time, it is useless to wind himself up, unconsciously form a gloomy outlook on life under the influence of bitter experience from the past. You need to learn to say "stop" to yourself and turn away from what is left behind. One should not completely forget about the events that happened and the experience gained, but one should not live, turning around all the time.
Thorough analysis and outside perspective. In order to develop positive thinking in oneself, it is necessary to determine exactly what and why can interfere with developing such a habit. Identify your personal triggers, those situations, events, thoughts, actions, actions that provoke fixation on the negative. It is important to thoroughly filter your emotions, to isolate the main negative feelings that are especially strong. And try to understand where they came from, why they have such power over consciousness, forcing them to look at life through dusty gray glass.
Gratitude and forgiveness. Learning to forgive people around you is much easier than learning to forgive yourself. However, on the path to positive thinking, you must master both skills. The ability to understand and forgive both yourself and another person is a very valuable and important quality that helps to achieve inner harmony. The ability to gratefully perceive various events and situations is also very important in order to develop the habit of thinking positively. It is worth starting small and sincerely saying "thank you" whenever you need it, and not just keeping silent, taking something for granted, which is not worthy of attention.
Close the box with negative thoughts. Positive thinking involves a change in outlook on life, a change in attitude towards certain situations and, of course, getting rid of bad thoughts. You have to learn to erase bad ideas in your mind, release them into the world, breathe them out and not let them attack your mind again. You can resort to an interesting method: take a box or some kind of box, say inward all the bad things that languish in consciousness, and then close this thing and put it somewhere far away. Every time when negative thoughts begin to poison the mind, you need to use this box, expressing inside it all that worries and darkens the mood.
Purification of consciousness and detachment. Meditative techniques, breathing exercises, various relaxation methods combined with positive attitudes allow you to perfectly free your consciousness, make it clean and plastic, ready for positive changes. You need to develop the habit of falling into a state of inner peace and harmony every day. In addition, it is important to learn to look from the outside at the happening negative, how to change the viewing angle, thereby changing your attitude to problems and any troubles.
