Thoughts create your reality. Accordingly, if they are depressed, then life is seen only in gloomy tones, which negatively affects not only the mood, but also the state of health. Whatever difficulties fall on your shoulders, you need to look for pluses and a positive in any situation.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn from what happened. A positive outlook does not mean that you need to ignore problems and troubles. Do not dive into worries, but look for pluses even in failures. Do not dwell on the negative - think about what good you can learn from the situation, what you can learn and what conclusions to draw. Cope with emotions, analyze problems and spend energy on solving it, not on self-flagellation.
Step 2
Control your thoughts. Focus on the positive things that happen every day. Even little things like bright sunshine, warm wind, beautiful flowers, or cute children at play can make your life much happier. You just need to notice them and fix them in memory, and when something unpleasant happens, remember the positive moments, that is, switch from bad to good. Look for a reason to smile during the day and memorize those feelings.
Step 3
Add positivity to your life. If you cannot find even a grain of joy in the people and events around you, or this is not enough to create a good mood, then on your own make every day wonderful and unforgettable. Buy yourself flowers, treat yourself to a delicious dessert, go shopping, sign up for a dance, devote a whole day to your favorite hobby - there are a lot of options, you can come up with something interesting every day. Think about what you would like to do and make your wish come true.
Step 4
Keep a joy diary. It will be most effective to manually write down in a specially designated notebook all the positive events that occur every day, as well as the good thoughts that you recorded during the day. At first it will be difficult to organize yourself and try to remember something joyful for at least 2-3 points, but over time you will get used to it and get a taste. When there is written confirmation in front of your eyes that there are moments in life that cause a smile, what is happening no longer seems so pessimistic.
Step 5
Smile. You can improve your mood and those around you with the help of an ordinary smile. It works in two directions: it programs you for positive emotions, and also gives a good mood to the people with whom you are in contact, and they, in turn, begin to communicate with you on a positive wave, smile, which similarly affects you. That is, the smile is returned to you with kindness, which makes life more joyful.
