How Positive Thinking About Others Helps You

If you optimize your thoughts about people in your life and focus on the positive, you end up making life better for yourself. Research has repeatedly shown that when we put good out into the universe, it comes back to us in waves. So, if you want more positivity in your own life, think about others and their good qualities first!

The Fast Company blog suggests that we can all make simple changes to increase positivity by thinking of our loved ones with kindness and sending them reassuring text messages or phone calls. We can also be kinder to ourselves when things don't go as planned by using a phrase like "I'm really disappointed but I'll get through this. It can always be worse."

Positive thinking also helps you when you are in difficult situations. One of the best ways to make yourself feel better is to imagine a worst-case scenario and think of things that will make it easier on you. For instance, if someone is rude to you, you might think of a time when they were nice and grateful. Then, the person's rudeness doesn't seem so bad after all.

If your personal life is going well, try spreading some positivity out into the world by giving it away. Lend a helping hand to someone in need, or donate to those who have less than you do. Then, you will be sure that your good will come back around.

Put some positive thinking into action by making a list of all the people you love and why. Then, write down the good qualities of each person on separate index cards. If you feel like you've been hard to get along with lately, make a separate list of your own good traits on a card and put it somewhere where you'll see it every day until it becomes habit for you. This way, when others are around, you can remind yourself that no matter how bad things might seem at the moment, there is always someone who loves and cares about you.
