19 Ways To Train Your Mind For Developing Positive Thinking:
1. Start the day with a smile:
Your whole day depends on how you greet the morning. Therefore, as long as you welcome it with high spirits, everything will go fine. You don’t want the rest of the day to get ruined, do you? Come on, smile! It doesn’t cost anything but is worth everything.
2. Ask for guidance:
Only God knows what we will be having on the day ahead of us. He will surely appreciate a few minutes of praying and asking for guidance from him ...This is one of my favorites too.
Also, have faith in Him that He is more than willing to grant our requests as long as it is for our own good. With God as our guide, we don’t have any reason not to say and believe in the thought that I can do this. I can make it through this day. Nothing is impossible. After all, God is with me.
3. Plan the day ahead:
To avoid mistakes that will cause negative output on your daily activities that will, later on, become negative thoughts, it is better to plan your work first; after which, work on your plan. Make sure today's goals are clearly defined and absorbed by your mind.
This can be done even before you get out of bed each day, just so that immediately addressing issues as they arise can be avoided.
4. Keep your mind focused:
Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize practicing your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems.
Concentrate on things that need to be taken seriously, but at the same time, take time to relax and enjoy. This way, favorable results may take place.
5. Be detached from the outcome:
They say that life is like a Ferris Wheel; sometimes, you’re on the top, and sometimes at the bottom. This means that there will be times in our lives when some things would not turn out according to what we want them to be.
Don't be annoyed if you don't get what you desire. However, do your best in everything you do. Only, don’t get too attached to the probable results that may only cause disappointments and upsets. Everyone might have faced such, right?!
Explore learning and changes as opportunities. There’s nothing wrong with changing attitudes and routines as long as they are for the good and improvement of who you are and what you do.
Doing new things may include considering more options for a project, meeting new people from different places, and asking lots of questions.
Through this, the flow of thinking is directed to improvement and negative thoughts will be easily erased from your mind with consistent efforts.
7. Balance your desires:
We live in a place of opposites and duality – gain and loss, pleasure and pain, light and dark, male and female, love and hate. This is how the cycle of life goes. We can never have all the good things in life at the same time.
In love, there will always be someone who gets hurt. In wealth, there will always be people who will not be fortunate enough. Measure and moderation is the primary key. You need to understand this very much!
8. Be realistic as possible:
Make sure that what you want is something possible. Hoping for something to happen which would never really materialize in real life will only bring you disappointment. For instance, you wish to earn wealth. Therefore, you have to set a goal and act on appropriate measures within a period of time to achieve what you wish. Think no one can be a millionaire overnight!
9. Track your mental & physical health:
This way, you will know how far you can keep believing.
Know yourself. There is no other person in the world who can tell who you really are. Know your passions, favorites, and principles.
Spend some quality time by yourself – reading, listening to music, daydreaming, and the like including spending time with the family. If you know yourself completely, you will be aware of how far can you go physically, mentally, and emotionally.
10. Love yourself:
Before you expect other people to love and adore you, it is always you who needs to love yourself first. Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes.
Praise yourself as much as you praise others once in a while. When you start feeling confident about yourself, positive thoughts will naturally flow into your mind. Start working from now onwards!
11. Laugh is the best medicine:
Enjoy. Have fun. Looking at the brighter side of life starts with entertainment and pleasure. Laughter is the best medicine, so they say. Whether your illness is physical or emotional, a few laughs and giggles can help you throw away heavy baggage such as anxiety, disappointment, or nervousness.
12. List your goals and actions:
Familiarize yourself with things you want to accomplish and with the ways you must undertake to complete them. By the time you are certain of what you want to do and carry out in your life, a stronger mind and willpower will exist within you.
In every classroom, workplace, or simply anywhere you go where there are groups of people, look for optimistic ones. There are lots of them, I’m sure. mingle with them, hang out, and discuss matters. They can help you build self-confidence and self-esteem.
14. Make it a habit to ask questions:
This is not equal to dumbness and ignorance; rather, it is associated with seeking more information and understanding matters clearly. With more actionable knowledge, there is also more power! You need to get this!
15. Be open:
We have to accept the fact that we don’t know everything. And that we are continuously learning in every place we go, and with every people, we meet as every day passes. We should not close our minds to new ideas and information that come our way.
Our mind is so spacious that it is impossible to fill it up completely. Thus, we should accept worthy things that may help us become better and brighter persons.
16. Develop trust in other people:
Although it may seem difficult and risky to give trust to just any people, when you believe in them or are confident in what they are doing for you, doubts and negative judgments of them will be unnecessary. Also, it will bring harmonious relationships between you and your colleagues.
Experience is the master, you might have heard this. Learning inside the classroom is different from learning outside it. In school, one learns the lesson first before taking an exam; while in real life, one takes the test first before learning the lesson.
This test in the real life is our experience. If we failed that test, i.e. the experience is not so good, we study the situation and learn the lesson. From here, we can avoid committing the same mistake twice.
18. Count your blessings:
Focus on what you have rather than what you don’t have. The absence of our desires will only bring discontentment and disappointment that will only waste our time. Instead, be thankful and appreciate all the blessings we receive.
19. Goodbye to your worries:
At the end of every day, before going to sleep, there is no need to keep bad experiences and unhappy moments that had happened in the day within you. Let them go, throw them out of the window and make them goodbye. Dream sweetly. As a new day unfolds, new hope arises. Keep believing. Always have faith.
