1-Affirmations that are positive
These are encouraging phrases for your optimism. This is your optimistic internal discourse. It’s fascinating and perplexing to understand that we communicate with people better than we communicate with ourselves. When we speak to individuals and others, we take care to use the appropriate words and to address them politely. Surprisingly, we have a negative tendency to speak to ourselves, particularly when we criticize ourselves. We occasionally curse or swear at ourselves when we chat to ourselves. How often have you watched elite tennis players publicly yell and scold themselves for making a stupid error while watching a match? Did you curse yourself while you were in an awkward situation? Everyone engages in negative self-talk. If you continue to speak negatively, you will become pessimistic about yourself, leading to negative thoughts, and this cycle will eventually overwhelm you. Positive affirmations may be used to counteract this habit. Always speak good and encouraging words to oneself. Talk to yourself in a loving and kind tone.
Treat yourself as though you were a young kid. This may seem odd, but it is correct. Always say, “I accept myself, entirely accept myself, completely accept myself.” Every day, repeat these sentences. Repeat these numerous times a day when you wake up, drive your vehicle, take a break, or whenever you can. By doing so, you will develop an emotional habit of accepting yourself. After you’ve practiced this verbal program, it’s time to take it a step further. “I like myself, I really like myself, I definitely like myself,” you tell yourself. Repeat for a few days more. Another advanced affirmation is to declare, “Despite my errors, I entirely accept myself, and despite that horrible scenario, I absolutely enjoy myself.” Despite that unpleasant occurrence, I embrace myself unconditionally. I thoroughly accept myself in all circumstances.” Repeat these affirmations for a few days and then evaluate the results. You may practice saying these sentences in front of a mirror. It is preferable to speak them with conviction and great desire. It’s best if you speak them out loud. Say them with passion and sincerity.
Listening to a hypnosis download that repeats these sentences with various voice modulation is a better option. This will train your unconscious mind to accept oneself without opposition from your conscious mind. Listening to these affirmations while in a trance will also enhance their effectiveness.
2-Support Team
This is an excellent resource for self-acceptance and social support. Find a group with similar interests. Subscribing to a certain forum is a wonderful idea. For example, if you are interested in travel, you may join a travel discussion board and share your opinions with others. By discussing your opinions with others, you are more likely to feel accepted by them, which will reflect on you, making you feel more accepted by yourself. Sharing your thoughts with others allows you to be more optimistic about life. This may be the beginning of your optimistic thinking. This is especially true when defining a goal and then sharing it with others. When you write your objective and obtain comments from others, you are less likely to be pessimistic about it, which means the feedback will raise your positive attitude and anticipation. Optimistic thinking will result from positive expectations.
3-Read, watch, and listen to positive content
It is no secret that there is a lot of negativity in the world. If you spend most of your time watching the news, you will notice that there is almost always a negative scenario somewhere around the globe. It may be an earthquake in Japan, a heinous crime in the United States, a war in the Middle East, starvation in Africa, global warming over the North Pole, a financial catastrophe in Europe, and so on. These are bad news stories; if you watch them regularly, you may absorb this negativity and grow disillusioned with life. The negative news is about the negative aspects of life. It’s no surprise that many individuals are becoming more pessimistic due to the bad news. Children are particularly susceptible to negative criticism. Many studies demonstrate that youngsters all around the globe are being harmed by negative media. To develop a positive personality, you must concentrate on good things. Instead of solely watching criminal drama series, watch good movies. Examine travel periodicals and websites. Listen to soothing music or natural noises. Learn about diet and health. For a time, avoid political news and watch nature or animal programming. Make your contribution as positive as possible. Always surround oneself with good stimuli. It is a never-ending process.
4-Participate in Positive Activities
Join a sports club and get some exercise. Physical activity benefits not only your body but also your brain and emotions. Take up a new activity, such as fishing or chess. Hobbies help to stimulate your emotional vitality. Make contact with nature. Travel to new places and mingle with the people. Do activities that make you feel upbeat. Positive activities will progressively train your personality to be more positive. These acts must be repeated to be remembered. Habits form as a result of repeated behavior. It is very difficult to break a habit once it has been formed.
5-Associate with Positive People
Positive people can point you in the right way. It is a well-known truth that you become who you socialize with. Having a long-term buddy implies you pick up some of their qualities. When you spend a long time with a group of optimistic people, you will acquire this optimism in yourself. We all know that ideas and energy go from one person to the next. If you are close to someone, their aura might have an impact on you, either favorably or badly. That person’s energy might speak with you on an unconscious level. If that individual exudes good energy, you will probably feel it. It’s similar to brain entrainment, which I discussed in depth in my essay Brain Waves and Their Effects on You. At the energy level, we are subject to outer forces. People we meet and connect with are a significant source of outside energy. This is why we must engage with positive people.
Although negativity is rising, we may overcome it and become more positive. We have the capacity and the skills to be optimistic in our thoughts, actions, attitudes, and energies.
Let us begin to look at things optimistically as of today. Let us begin to see the bright side of life, the optimistic side of life. Let us assist one another in being more optimistic on our path and life journey.
