Have you ever noticed how negative thoughts can sneak into your mind like a pesky fly? They buzz around and distract you, making it hard to focus on what really matters. But don’t worry! Here are some simple tips to help you swat those negative thoughts to the floor! It will also make you healthier!
1. Choose to Ignore Them
Sometimes, ignoring negative thoughts is the best way to deal with them. Like a magician who makes a rabbit disappear, you can vanish those thoughts by simply not acknowledging them. Not all thoughts are valid anyway.
2. Understand They Aren’t Facts
Remember, just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s like thinking you’re a terrible cook just because you burned toast once. Setbacks and mistakes are events and not the full picture of our life. Remember, everyone has off days!
3. Trust in a Higher Power
If you believe in God, trust that you’ll be guided when you face something you’re worried about. Faith can be a great comfort during tough times. Besides, have you not noticed that your wisdom and common sense are ready when the going gets tough? Lean into what your soul is saying.
Even if you still have negative thoughts, you don’t have to let them control your life like some puppet master. Take back your power and cut the strings!
Recognizing them for what they are—just a bunch of thoughts you are currently experiencing. You can prevent them from making you feel bad. Changing your mindset and mood also has a profound effect on your health. No healthy but often sad or angry folks in the world. Those who constantly consume a brew of negative thoughts also have a long list of physical/mental health challenges. A coincidence?
The Power of Positive Thinking
If you want to feel more at peace, practice thinking positively. Good thoughts lead to good feelings, while negative thoughts can bring you down. Do something positive, even if it’s small. It will tip the scales in your favour.
Remember, life has its ups and downs. And it always will. Some days are fantastic, Awesome even! Some others can feel like a rainy Monday or a complete disaster…no matter. You just need to get past those and on to better days.
How you think about these ups and downs affects your happiness. You don’t need to be perfect or never think negatively. Instead, try to be aware that your thoughts shape your reality.
You are always creating your experiences from your thinking. Your experiences and circumstances are not creating your reality!
It’s true! Our thoughts can sometimes feel like facts, but we create things in our minds first and then we see the world around us reflected according to our ideas, beliefs, and opinions of the world. We are literally creating a version of reality each day.
Rise Above Your Thoughts
Thinking and feeling happen quickly, and it can feel real in the moment. But when you take a step back and observe your thoughts, you can diffuse the negativity and move forward.
Imagine your life is a movie—you can choose to be the hero who stops the bomb just 2 seconds before it explodes! Congratulations! You saved countless lives by staying calm, cool and collected! Just like a hero would!
Most people would rather be happy than unhappy. Once you understand where your thoughts come from, you can naturally lean toward positive thinking.
Positive Affirmations
One great way to boost positive thinking is through self-affirmations. Try saying to yourself,
“I am a positive person, and I think positively about everything.”
You can do this whenever you have a moment, like between classes or right before bed. Affirmations work best when you’re relaxed, so try them first thing in the morning or as you drift off to sleep.
By practicing these techniques, you can build a happy life filled with resilience against all that negative thinking.
