A positive outlook allows a person to live a full life, improve himself, and move forward. To develop it in yourself, you need to learn to see the positive moments in any situation.
Necessary
- - The Diary;
- - pen.
Instructions
Step 1
Make it a rule to analyze every day you have lived, to summarize it. To do this, start a diary and write down in it all the positive moments, all the joys that this day gave you. Set aside a separate page for negative events.
Step 2
Analyze the negative events that happened during the day and try to look at them not from the usual position, but by changing your point of view, look for the positive in them. For example, today you missed the bus and walked to work. On the one hand, this is bad, but on the other hand, you did a good morning exercise, breathed some air. Perhaps you need to walk more often? Or you were reprimanded by your boss for a bad report. Yes, it’s unpleasant, but this sanction will be a serious incentive to improve the efficiency of your work, develop your professional skills, etc.
Step 3
Look for positive aspects in any negative event. Even when it seems to you that they do not exist, convince yourself that what happened to you was necessary for your life experience, now you have become wiser and have learned the necessary lesson.
Step 4
Communicate only with optimistic people, becoming infected with their fun and ability to enjoy life. Do not choose the company of melancholic people who are always complaining about life.
Step 5
Do what you love, realize your potential. If your job does not bring you pleasure, change it, if you do not like your chosen profession, retrain. It is also important to understand that you are unlikely to become a happy person by trying to meet the expectations of other people, for example, your parents, without taking into account your own desires.
Step 6
Expand your horizons: travel, engage in spiritual development, do not forget about physical self-improvement, and you will feel yourself a self-sufficient, interesting person for those around you. What is not a reason to enjoy life?
Step 7
Give up excessive demands on yourself and the people around you. Do not set unrealistic goals for yourself, remember that in addition to material values, spiritual ones are no less important, such as: love, mercy, compassion, etc.
Step 8
Control your thoughts, fight envy, anger, self-criticism. Imagine yourself as cheerful and lighthearted more often. If you are in a bad mood, try smiling - psychologists have proven that such a simple method returns lost optimism. Switch to some other activity, get out of the house, take a walk.
Step 9
Praise yourself for any successes, no matter how small, believe that there is still a lot of good ahead of you.
