There is always something to thank God, the universe, this whole world for. especially if everything is great with you.

Greetings, friends!
Have you ever had a time when life dealt blow after blow and it was unclear where to expect the next trick? I'm going through this period right now. How to be positive if everything is bad? After all, this can’t all happen forever?
The world around us often gives us reason for grief, worry and despondency. But you don’t want to live, constantly worrying about something! But there are people who remain calm even in such difficult situations, when others give up. For example, is the glass half full or half empty for you? Who do you belong to - gloomy pessimists or cheerful optimists? Why do some people, having received a “sour lemon” from life, do not frown at it, but try to quickly make lemonade out of it and squeeze out all the most positive things from this situation?
The secret of such people is their special view of the world. After all, it is not the situation itself that is important, but how we react to it. Don't you feel sorry for wasting your life on worthless and empty experiences? So how to be positive? After all, this can be learned. Just start doing five simple tasks.
Positive attitude
Learn to find something good in everything that happens to you. If you cannot change the situation, change your attitude towards it. What if this minor trouble saves you from big trouble? And remember that “there are no insurmountable difficulties, there are difficulties that you are too lazy to overcome.”
Express your emotions!
Don’t try to keep everything to yourself, otherwise those around you won’t know what’s going on in your soul. If you're having fun, laugh; if you offend someone, don't keep it to yourself, tell them. It’s better to create a storm in a glass of water than to have a volcano raging inside you. This will help you maintain peace of mind.
Small pleasures
Let's remember what was the last time you did something nice for yourself, your beloved? Is it difficult to remember? Understand! We would rather please our husband, children, parents or sisters, and maybe even friends. But I rarely have enough time and energy for myself, and somehow I have no time for myself. But in vain! Accustom yourself to small joys (a flower, a delicious chocolate bar - but not for children, but for yourself, your beloved!), etc. Oh yes, and don’t put off until tomorrow what you can please yourself with today!
Movement!
Have you noticed that people look more energetic, cheerful and cheerful? Because they know that movement is life! If you suddenly feel blues or melancholy, immediately grab your friends and run with them. Gym or ride bikes! And the melancholy will go away on its own.
Live now!
Everyone probably admitted the following thoughts: “But then, for example, I’ll buy a car,” or “But in five years, everything will work out for me, and I’ll immediately live a life of pleasure.” And did this happen to you? Why wait for this “someday”? Live now! Don’t look back at the past, don’t make plans for the future, otherwise you won’t notice that NOW is passing you by. Learn to be happy here and now.
Two people looked out the same window,
One saw the rain and mud,
The other is green elm foliage,Spring and blue skies...
Two people were looking out the same window...
Let's help each other be positive!
Can't stay positive?
Have you noticed that children always smile and at the same time glow like the sun? And when do adults smile and laugh? Only when there is a serious reason. What if, for example, you get up for work tomorrow morning and try to smile all day? The minimum that others will think about you is: “someone hit you with a dust bag.” And all this happens because we are too bogged down in our worries and problems and have stopped smiling just like that, carefree, like children... So how to find a reason to smile at a passerby on a gloomy day, how to tune in to positive thinking?
Man is a huge world in which good and evil, hatred and forgiveness easily coexist. What is considered a victory and how to treat defeat, each person determines for himself. Those who do not want to experience the pain of mental wounds try to forget them as quickly as possible or learn at least some lesson from the current situation. Others, on the contrary, spend a long time nursing their wounds.
But we create most of the problems precisely by our attitude towards life. How many of you are prevented from living by sad memories, worries about yourself, your future or your loved ones? Probably many. It’s as if we just can’t get out of this swamp. I’m not calling you to give up worrying entirely. I just suggest not getting hung up on this, learning to switch to something completely new. Don't let negative thoughts take over.
Do you want to become an optimist and develop positive thinking?
Let's try to figure out how to do this together.
Indulge your desires
When we became adults, we began to do many things not only because we want them, but because we NEED them. As a result, we accumulate nervous tension, overwork and negative emotions. How to deal with this? Indulge your desires from time to time. Buy ice cream and eat it in the park on a bench, leisurely and without thinking about how many calories it contains.
Decide to do something for the first time
For example, go skydiving or go to Indian dancing. Even if you only have enough time for a couple of classes or jumps, you will undoubtedly experience new sensations unknown before.
OnstudyrejoiceI love the little things
Look around - many don’t even have what you have.
Watch the animals
Animals themselves make us smile and even laugh out loud. If you don't have a pet, watch your neighbor's dog or cat, or, for example, go to the zoo.
Add a special touch to any event
Liven up a celebration or an ordinary activity, approach it from an unexpected angle, and you will notice how easily and playfully you can cope with any task.
The good old films of our childhood are another way to cheer up. Only films must have a happy ending, otherwise the effect will be the opposite.
For me, the life-affirming films were:
Celebrate the positive around you
Try to notice something positive around you every day (you can even write it down for starters). Every day look for something good nearby, and each time there is one more pleasant event. For example, yesterday you noticed the first green grass, today you listened to the birds singing in the park and saw sparrows swimming in the first puddle. And tomorrow you need to find three positive moments around, and so on. Remember the old saying
“A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, but an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty”?
Learn to enjoy life
- He who rarely smiles cannot think optimistically. Have you noticed that when you are in a good mood, you involuntarily begin to smile at yourself and at everyone passing by? Therefore, if you are in a bad mood, stretch your lips into a smile (even through force), and the muscles of your lips will send positive emotions to your brain. Then the whole body will tune in to a positive mood.
- In the most difficult or ridiculous situations, laugh at yourself. Your body will instantly get rid of nervous tension, you will be able to look at the problem from a different angle and will not give up.
- When do we give gifts? For birthdays, for New Year, on March 8? And that's all... And just like that? Just a present from the heart? The main thing is that the gift is from pure heart, and even better - made with your own hands. “If you feel bad, find someone who is even worse and... Then it will become much easier for you too!”
- Remember how you acted as a child when someone nearby was sulking. What did you do during this? That's right - they grimaced and grimaced until he, “with a sour expression,” began to laugh heartily. So take this technique into service. As soon as the “lemon” appears, start sticking your tongue out at yourself in the mirror and making faces. This childhood habit will instantly cheer you up.
- And one more piece of advice: be different, change more often, obey your inner instinct about what you should be today (strict and businesslike or a mischievous girl with ponytails). Only then will you feel full inner freedom and will fully enjoy the flow of life!
And remember: to frown, you will have to use 43 facial muscles, and to smile - only 10... Do not forget the words of the unforgettable Baron Munchausen from the film by Mark Zakharov:
“A serious face is not a sign of intelligence; all the stupid things in the world are committed with this facial expression. Smile, gentlemen, smile!”
In the life of any person there are many ups and downs, white stripes are replaced by black ones. We could have avoided some difficult periods, but all we can do is get through the rest with minimal losses, and with the right actions, even with benefit for ourselves. It is known that from the same situation one person can emerge as a winner and another as a loser. It's all just a matter of our attitude. So how can you set yourself up positively so that you can be the master of your destiny, and not a slave?
What is the power of a positive attitude. Anyone who is positive sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. Everything depends on our thinking. What and how we think ultimately manifests itself in our real world. If you mentally program yourself for failure, constantly complain and feel sorry for yourself for an unsatisfactory life, then it will be very difficult to break out of such a vicious circle and change something.Start by becoming aware of your thoughts. Replace everything negative with positive, denial with acceptance, disharmony with harmony, lack of opportunities with limitless choice, a feeling of poverty with a feeling of complete prosperity to begin with and wealth in the future. Start telling yourself, “I can,” “I can succeed,” “if someone can do it, then I can do it too.”
If you start thinking positively and set yourself up for positivity, then your life will change accordingly. Everything begins within us and our thoughts in this regard are a sprout from which great shoots of great achievements will subsequently appear. We cannot always control the external circumstances that we encounter, but everyone can change their interpretation within ourselves. Probably, at the present moment in time you are unhappy with your fate and are in a bad mood, you think that you cannot change anything, like many people in the world. Try to change your attitude towards the current situation, put a little effort into resolving it, and you will certainly see some initial results that will create the conditions for increased motivation to further improve your life and obtain excellent results. After all, as Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies an opportunity.”
How to set yourself up for positivity. Practical recommendations.
To set yourself up for positivity, it is not enough to simply wish it. To do this, you need to practice various techniques that will help you achieve positivity. One of them is exercises - affirmations. Their main idea is as follows. Every thought we have in our heads and every word we speak are statements. Affirmations are converted into energy that spreads from us to the world and comes back to us again in the form of a response to our statements. That is why a negative mood only enhances failures, and a positive one provides us with the opportunity to benefit from them.
You should make short statements for yourself about what you are striving for and how you are going to achieve a positive mood, write them down and repeat them out loud periodically. Such statements will help you solve specific problems in your consciousness and change negative habits thinking, turning them into positive ones. Here are some examples of affirmations.
- “I can handle everything that happens in my life.”
- “My life is joyful and filled with pleasant events.”
- “I am taking big steps towards success (wealth) and will soon achieve it.”
The power of visualizations. Surely you have something that you really dream about. Let's say this is a large, beautiful and expensive country house. Find an image that matches your dream, cut it out and stick it right in front of your workspace. In moments of rest from work, imagine yourself in detail as the owner of this house, how you live in it, care for it and maintain it. In this way, you will cultivate positive emotions within yourself, to which, according to the theory of affirmations, the outside world will respond to you. And then one day you will be surprised to find that you are already living in the house of your dreams. This means you need to find a new object to visualize and strive for a new goal.
Listening to music. Music is a great way to improve your mood. Make your favorite list of songs, find them and listen to them every time it seems that nothing can bring you out of deep depression and a streak of failure.
Surround yourself with positive people. This is one of the best ways how to set yourself up for positivity. Communicating among optimistic, cheerful, cheerful people is very useful, as they will certainly charge you with their optimism. Such people will certainly inspire you and inspire you to do great things. At the same time, you need to stay away from pessimists who are always complaining about everyone and everything, as they will drag you into the place where you want to get out of with all your might.
Having understood how to set yourself up for positivity, apply the acquired knowledge in practice. We get what we expect to get. Become optimistic, start expecting all the best that you can wish from this world, but also do not forget to give it your positive emotions at a minimum, and maybe you will be able to do something useful on a global scale at the maximum.

I have already said that our attitudes play an important and almost fundamental role in shaping our lives and moods. If you are used to constantly suffering and complaining, then you have such an attitude, you focus your attention on the negative. And if you believe in the best and enjoy every day, then you have a positive attitude.
Positive attitude plays a very important role, with its help you can completely change your life, you just need to learn to catch yourself in negative, bad thoughts, erase them and replace them with positive ones.
It is important to always maintain a great mood - make this a rule! Yes, people are not robots, and we cannot laugh and smile all the time. But you shouldn’t be constantly worried, angry and worried either. If you learn to recharge yourself in the morning good mood, believe me, your life will become easier and more joyful. I tried everything on myself personally, and from my own experience I know the importance of the correct setting for the day. Today I want to give you a few useful tips about how to create such a setup for yourself.
How to create a positive attitude
The mood for the whole day is created in the morning. Yes, in the morning you really don’t want to get up and go to work, you want to sleep and depressing and unpleasant thoughts come into your head that you have been tired of this work for a long time, that today you have a hard day ahead of you, that today you have a lot to do and you are tired and you don’t feel well, and so on and so forth. Tell yourself “Stop!” and stop this stream of thoughts. It is very important to catch yourself in the first minutes after waking up, stretch sweetly and, feeling warmth and love in your heart (you can read how this is done), say mentally or out loud: “Today a wonderful day awaits me and many pleasant surprises!” Just be sure to feel it with your heart, one might say, breathe it with your heart (inhale love and exhale it into your space). Then, get out of bed saying “Easy!” (that is, you need to say this when you put your feet down and get out of bed).
Our physical well-being should also be at a good level. Morning exercises help you recharge your batteries, so don’t be lazy to stretch your muscles for at least 10-15 minutes. It is advisable to do energy exercises. The principle is this:
Take a deep breath through your heart and exhale into the ground.
Take a deep breath from the ground, hold it in the heart, exhale through the crown into the sky.
Take a deep breath through the top of your head, hold it in your heart, exhale into the ground, and back.
You can breathe this way 3-5 times. Such breathing saturates cells with oxygen and directs energy flows in the right direction. By doing this breathing every day, you will feel better; if you have problems sleeping, they will disappear, you will become calmer and more joyful. At first, you may experience dizziness due to an excess of oxygen and energy, but then all this will pass.
Another important advice– learn to relax and rest. Don’t take work home, don’t bring your work problems home, don’t try to do everything and be on time, as you know, “you can’t do all the work and you can’t earn all the money.” If you don't have time to do something at work, reconsider your work schedule. Learn to separate home and work, personal and business. Your home is your fortress, this is your rear, this is your relaxation area, this is your personal world. Stop stealing this vacation and yours. personal time, learn to distribute your strength, your time and your energy. Everything has its time and place. We didn’t come here to “plow like horses” or “spin like a squirrel in a wheel.” We came here to learn to love and be happy.
Learning to think positively means, first of all, making your life easier in many ways. For most people, positive thinking doesn't go on autopilot. Does the world look in black and white or bright colors, depends on the character and previous experience of the person. But while they may seem harmless, negative thinking habits pose a real threat to success. When you decide that “it can't be done,” or that other people have certain advantages that are not available to you, the achievement of your goals is delayed indefinitely.
How to set yourself up for positivity and good thoughts? Let's look at a few ways to help make positive thinking truly a part of life.
Take responsibility for what's going on in your head
A lot of people act as if they are not in any way responsible for their thoughts - as if they just came to them out of nowhere. But in fact, this is not true - about sixty thousand thoughts rush through our heads every day, and we can control the vast majority of them. From the moment you take responsibility for your views, you can change every idea to a more positive one.
As you develop your ability to think positively, plan the process
Many thoughts have their source in the unconscious mind. When you plan to work on yourself in advance, you have the time and opportunity to analyze the contents of your consciousness and determine how accurately your judgments reflect the real situation.
It is important to note that it is not necessary to accept negative ideas as once and for all given facts. If you are in a bad mood, you are likely to see the world around you in shades of grey. From time to time, each of us suffers from thinking errors, which are easily distorted due to negative experiences. Nobody is asking you to stop being realistic and start floating in clouds of unfounded optimism. What you need to do is to slightly shift the perspective of your view of the world, choosing more positive life moments as a starting point.
This attitude will not solve all your problems, of course; however, it will allow us to take a position that will be more productive in solving current problems. Positive thinking helps you be more creative and solve complex problems that are often impossible to cope with without it.
Keep a diary
It is useful to review at the end of each day what the content of your thoughts was. Write them down from time to time. This way you can see what is wrong with them and make the necessary adjustments. A diary is one of the simplest and at the same time powerful tools for influencing thinking.
Like any important change, the ability to think positively does not happen overnight. Rather, such transformations can be compared to an interesting journey. The diary will help you see the shortcomings and obstacles along the way, and set yourself up for positivity at the right time.
Avoid negative people
They can pose a serious obstacle to optimism and positive thinking. Such people only add fuel to the fire of negative thoughts.
You can often hear that our psychological attitudes and attitude in general are the arithmetic average of the same indicators of the five people closest to us. Ultimately, their behavior influences ours to a much greater extent than we might realize. When choosing your environment, give preference to those people with whom you can communicate confidently and positively, and also act in a similar way.
Fill up your life big amount positive experiences
How to set yourself up for positive thoughts if life is full of boredom or even negative emotions? To this day, psychologists have not resolved the question of what comes first—emotional experiences or thoughts. Most of them agree that these two factors have a mutual influence on each other. In other words, just as with the help of thoughts you can change experiences, so with the help of positive emotions you can transform thoughts. Spend time with friends and family, watch good films, spend time on your favorite hobby. This is especially necessary to do if negativity predominates in your life and you have to face serious difficulties. By replenishing your emotional resources, it will be much easier to cope with them.
How to set yourself up for positivity and good thoughts? To develop the habit of thinking positively, you need a little time, some effort, and the ability to use those psychological techniques that everyone can do. Having learned to transform your thoughts in time, you will soon be able to enjoy the wonderful fruits of positive thinking in real life.
