Changing Negative Thinking
Simple acts of changing your attitude can dramatically change your life for the better. In fact, this has been
considered to be the most powerful tool anyone can use. Unfortunately, a lot of us have been conditioned
to thinking that we’re controlled by emotions that it is sometimes difficult to discern how to make this
change.
That’s why we have decided to write this article and help those who are thinking of changing their negative
attitudes into positive ones. Read on to find out!
What Do You Want to Change?
In order to change, it’s important to figure out what needs to be changed. How can this be done? Try to
have some goals, and do your best to achieve them. Likewise, if you’re planning to change your attitude
for the better, you must do a thorough evaluation of yourself and try to determine what traits are needed to
be improved or totally eliminated.
Have a Role Model
One of the best ways to stay motivated is knowing that what you want to accomplish is realistic and
feasible. Look for a person who has the kind of attitude you want to have, and use this person as your
inspiration and encouragement to strive harder and become a better person. Through this, you can be
more optimistic, determined, and inspired.
Be Responsible for Your Thoughts and Actions
You’re the sailor of your ship: This means, you’re in full control of your actions—whether positive or
negative. Thus, you should take responsibility for your actions, and try your best to remove
those negativities and create positivity instead. Do your best to use positive words whenever you can; it is
a quiet self-talk that becomes reality – so make it positive!
Negative thoughts result in negative actions; wherein a positive attitude triggers positive changes.
Consider every unfortunate event as a blessing in disguise.
Don’t Be Harsh on Yourself
You’re a human being, and you’ll commit mistakes now and then. However, this doesn’t mean that you’re
worthless or useless. Stop blaming yourself or set unrealistic expectations. This wouldn’t help you at all.
Instead, try to create a positive environment where you can grow.
Don’t hold grudges, and try to let go of the past. This is the only way to completely move on and focus on
yourself —allowing you to improve.
Have an Attitude of Gratitude
Count your blessings instead of sheep. Little did you know, your negative attitudes are what’s draining you
down. This won’t help you grow as a person at all. On the other hand, if you’ll try to see the goodness in
everyone and in every situation, you’ll be able to stay positive.
Stay Away from Negative People
Don’t let other people’s negativity affect you. If it seems too much, leave them and try to surround yourself
with positive people instead. This will help you counteract the negativity and motivate you to appreciate
what you have instead of complaining about what you lack. If the negative people in your life are close
family members, family therapy may be able to help you from the comfort of you own home.
Negative people will drag you down, while positive people will raise you up.
A Positive Living Space Should Be Created
Obviously, it’s impossible to maintain a positive outlook on life if
you’re living in a messy, dark, or depressing room. Now is the
perfect time to change things up! Get organized. Do a general
cleaning. Add some color in your room!
Not just that, don’t forget to remove the things that are making you
upset or holding you back. For example, do you really need to
keep all those things that remind you of your ex? Probably not.
So, what are you waiting for? Throw them away or donate them to
someone else!
Time to Make a Change for the Better!
Each and every one of us has a story to tell. Everyone has his own
set of worries. However, if we’ll only try to see the world through
eyes of acceptance, little by little, the negativity in our lives will
begin to evaporate and this can be the ultimate attitude adjustment
you can ever do.
Lastly, if you, a loved one, or a friend has experienced depression
due to negativity, don’t hesitate to contact Pathways Tooele today. We can work through issues at our
mental health clinic, using master level therapists,
