Little Known Ways To Be A Positive Person
It’s easy to find yourself struggling with negative thoughts and feelings that can overwhelm you and your life. The good news is that you don’t have to feel that way. With these little-known ways to be a positive person, you can quickly start making an impact on your life, happiness, and relationships.
Here are 30 little-known ways to be a positive person:
1. Plan on being an optimist. I believe that there is good in everyone, even my enemies. The next time you are upset, angry or frustrated with someone, try to see the good. Try to find their good points. That way you can easily justify the bad and move on to being a positive person.
2. Think about what’s good in others instead of what’s bad. When someone shares a negative story about themselves, try to imagine the good side of it. Try to find the good in their story and try not to focus on the negative. You can then confront them with this positive view and start being a positive person instead of being negative yourself by coming across as jealous or jaded.
3. Talk about the good side of other people. If someone is doing something bad, try to think of the good that it does for them. For example, if a friend is being really quiet and reserved, try to find their positive sides and thank them for the nice things they do in your life.
4. Write down your goals and dreams in a journal every day. It’s a great way to keep your thoughts positive and focused on what you want in life with writing down your aspirations every day.
5. Listen to uplifting music. Our thoughts and feelings are not always positive and can make us feel low. But, the good news is that you can choose to have positive thoughts and feelings. You can switch on your brain to think positively with the right music. There is a type of music that I listen to called “positive affirmations” that boosts my mood and helps me think positively all day long.
6. Get ready for your day before it starts with positive self-talk. As soon as you wake up, tell yourself how great you are and what a great day you are about to have. Imagine how you will accomplish all of your tasks, achieve all of your goals, and accomplish all that you want to do today. This positive self-talk will help boost your confidence and make you more optimistic about the day.
7. Say “thank you” every time someone helps or gives something to you. It’s so easy to say thank you but yet so many people don’t. Try to be more grateful than you ever thought possible and you will reap positive rewards from this simple act.
8. Look for the good in your relationships too. When you find someone that you can open up to, listen to them, and trust with everything that’s going on in your life, it builds a strong bond between the two of you. It also helps make a relationship last for years instead of months or years.
9. Laugh much more than you cry. When you hear someone laugh, you feel happier than when you hear them cry. So, to be a positive person, laugh more than you cry with your friends and family.
10. Always do your best and be proud of it even if it’s not good enough for others. People who are always concerned about making mistakes and being criticized are always afraid to try something new or do anything that’s out of their comfort zone. If you don’t have confidence, it will be difficult for you to do anything that you want in life. You also won’t be able to help others or even ask for help from others.
11. Don’t let criticism and negative people get to you. They will always exist but the key is not letting them take over your life. You have to keep your priorities in order and focus on what’s important in life.
12. Be positive that you are a good person, even though you may not be. If you don’t believe that you are inherently a negative person, then why should anyone else? You can only be a negative person if you let them control your happiness and focus on the bad instead of the good in life.
13. Don’t compare yourself to others who may or may not be better than you. If you notice that you are constantly comparing yourself to others, try not to. When you compare yourself to others, it only leads to envy and jealousy.
14. Sit in a comfortable position whenever possible. Sitting too long becomes uncomfortable because the pressure of your lower back encourages stretching or slouching which causes pain in your back and neck as well as pain in other areas of the body. This is not a good position for your body and can lead to bad health.
