How to deal with negativity and teach you how to control your emotions? If you have this question, then you are already on the right track. It is very difficult to get rid of negative emotions and for this, first of all, you need to change the way of your thinking.
How to deal with negativity: reconfiguring ourselves
The world around us will not change, nor will the people around us, so we need to change ourselves and our views on the world. Here's what psychologists advise us:
- always try to assess the situation objectively and avoid exaggeration;
- be prudent; analyze the situation and learn from it;
- never hold on to the past;
- admit that you are just as ordinary a person as everyone else, learn to accept your shortcomings;
- look for positive aspects in your life;
- take walks;
- go in for sports.
As John Kehoe has repeatedly stated in his books, problems do not exist, there are opportunities. If you find yourself in a difficult situation and it seemed that everything and everyone around you was against you - do not get a fever, calm down and think soberly about what is happening. When something unpleasant happens, do not try to deceive yourself and present what happened in a dark light. Do not lament over the problem, but look for solutions.
If you feel that you are overwhelmed by a wave of negativity, then try to just switch, think about something pleasant, about something that gives you pleasure. By the way, regular physical activity helps us reduce stress levels in the body.
Programming yourself
Our body is amazing - we can work for a very long time without rest, heading towards our goal, but at some point everything breaks down, you feel tired, exhausted … How to avoid this? The answer is simple - you need to know how to rest. First of all, get enough sleep. Plan your day to get at least eight hours of sleep. Already mentioned above, John Kehoe in one of his books argues that every day you need to spend at least five minutes to imagine yourself as a successful person.
If it seems to you that everything around you exudes negativity, then try this practice - every evening, list (mentally or on paper) all the good things that happened to you. If you do this regularly, then you yourself will notice that you start looking around for the good, the positive.
The better you set yourself up, the more time you devote to working on yourself, the faster you will begin to reap the fruits of your labor. The main thing is to believe in yourself and your success. Only then will you learn to deal with negativity.
