A Few Thoughts on Positive Thinking to Feel Better About Yourself

Our brains have been programmed to focus more on the worst possible scenarios experienced in life than on the achievements gained. For instance if you have excelled in an exam you feel good for a limited amount of time then you’re back to feeling normal but if you’ve failed an exam your brain gets stuck on the same thought for a longer time like a day, two or sometimes even more than a week. 

As our mind stays longer in the negatives we need to work and work hard to get to the positive instead of getting stuck in the negative and this requires effort. You can practice this and train your mind to do better. There’ s research out at UC Davis showing that writing for a few minutes each day about things that you’re blessed with can boost your happiness, well-being and even your health.

Changing your ways and adding these simple activities in your daily routine will do wonders on your mind, health and basically the way you feel about yourself. I, myself am a late riser and hate waking up early and akin to sleep late. For those individuals who sleep late and have trouble getting up early- don’t fret or ridicule yourself or let others insult you of course except your parents, husband/wife, boss, colleagues and other close relatives who depend upon you as people who sleep late are known to be more intelligent and have creative minds. 
So, basically you are awesome or else if you want to appreciate yourself further more you are “COOL”. Still not satisfied and desire to feel fabulous? Become an early riser as waking up at 5am in the morning and exercising will certainly keep you motivated throughout the day.

Have control over your destiny, write it yourself instead of sitting behind and letting the chips fall where they may. Importantly stop over thinking since it is the biggest thing that drives you towards negative thoughts. Abstain yourself from haunting thoughts of guilt and instead do what you believe is right. Thoughts like- if I did that things would have turned out right or maybe I shouldn’t have done this at all or maybe I should have said this instead of that- don’t deserve a room in your brain; this space should be filled with, “Yeah I did this and it made my day pretty productive I should definitely do this more often”.

Maybe it’s time to get out of that little shell of continuous looping of repetitive thoughts and look around you where there is so much waiting to be uncovered. Finding your passion and keeping yourself busy in the one thing that will keep you motivated the entire day and you won’t have time for spare thoughts.
