Stop watching the news! (7 steps to positive thinking)

Almost every self-help books on the market has one thing in common - expressing the importance of a positive to increase their happiness and prosperity.

There have been many studies done on the power of positive thinking and conclusions show a mass amount of health benefits, without the need to remedy! Positive thinking is proven to reduce stress, help people live longer and improve the general well-being and ability to cope.

So, if it is so easy, why do they not live in a society of total bliss and happiness? The answer is that no one, nor yourself, wants to admit that they are negative. And if they can not admit that they are negative, then how can all change your lifestyle to be a positive?

The # 1 tip is to avoid negativity in your profile. Is it "I am lonely" or "my boyfriend was the last convulsion" such statements turn people off, making an easily circumvent your profile for one person, where it appears more in line with life, and himself / herself.

However, avoiding any negativity should not be only one issue for your profile. This should be a problem for his life. And with that in mind, here are seven steps to help you include the negativity of positive thinking:

Step 1: You have to admit Negative
The first step in your life can admit that they are negative or having negative thoughts. Whether you talk about coworker behind his / her back or belief you "can not" do something and contribute to non-healthy lifestyles.

Step 2: Remove the negative influences
Your environment began to reflect on who you are after time. So if you have friends or coworkers you hang with, who are always griping about his work, the boss, or life then begin to slowly weed that group of people and look for those who are positive and do not talk about others behind their backs. When you replace a negative environment on the one positive, which make huge strides in improving your lifestyle.

Step 3: Be determined to be Positive
Once you've admitted you are negative, or at least have some negative tendencies, you can resolve to change the way you think. Become aware of your daily thoughts and when the negative thoughts enter your mind, it is rapidly around. Instead of "I do not think I can do that," I think, "I love the new challenge and to win this one" or "I can not do that no matter how difficult." Instead, "I will do it later," think "By getting this done now may have to achieve." Eliminate words such as "can not" from your vocabulary and replace them with "can". Start to say positive things about other people. Start to think positive things about other people. "Wow, that's very nice that he / she did." When she presented was an opportunity to comment on someone else, refrain from saying anything bad.

Step 4: Replace Cola with water
Parts of the beverage you can drink the water. And by replacing chemical sugar-filled drinks and water, which will be massive improvements to your health. First of all, you are eliminating the sugar and caffeine who are so addicting, but bad for overall health. Second, you are increasing your water intake. Chemical-free natural water will improve energy, to eliminate toxins from your body, make your skin healthy looking for more, and improve their mental performance. How you can help, but do not become more positive with such changes in your life? Drink plenty of water - that is the real "miracle vitamin."

Step 5: Stop watching the news
Murder. Rape. Fraud. War. Daily news is often filled with nothing but negative stories and do when reading such material part of your daily lifestyle, you start to be directly affected by that factor of environmental protection. If you still needed dose of news, then tune in the station or a place that features "Good News", or check out good news blogs.

Step 6: Learn to meditate
Meditation allows you to clear your mind, lower stress, become more focused, and stay positive. It is a very positive and powerful medium. By taking only 15 minutes a day to think, that you will find the time for handling stress and a lot better. You'll also get a more positive outlook on life.


Step 7: Spread to others Positiveness
Put your new lifestyle positive thinking in action. Take the time to write in the top 10 things you love about your partner and give that list to him / her. When you experience good customer service, it needs time to write a note or e-mail to express their gratitude. Practice your positiveness spreading to others and to grow.

When you allow yourself to become immersed in a positive mindset, you will start to see the impact on other aspects of your life. For example, instead of feeling "inconvenienced" merging traffic, that will allow someone to simply merge in front of you and feel great about it. They may even wave or mouth "thank you". At the grocery store when you have a cart full of groceries and the person behind you has only one or two items of May you find yourself saying, "Please go ahead of me because you have only a few cases" and that the people of gratitude will make your day. You'll be actively thinking about others and your contribution to their positive experiences will have a big impact on your eternal happiness.

Hi betty nurse, I read your comment on my blog at so I thought I would give your blog a visit.

Positive thinking is something I am interested in and trying to do. Your tip about the news is absolutely right, it always makes me worry so much about all the different terrible things that can happen, though I'm really trying to change that. It's also a great idea to spread positiveness to others. I think it is hard work which you need to focus on, but your tips should help with that!

I am interested to know what else you will write about.
