Being Positive is an outlook in life in which using positive words and positive phrases, and thinking daily positive thoughts become the habit, priority and the guiding philosophy in one’s life.
Why be positive?
It is simply better than the alternative. As Churchill said, “For myself, I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else.”
It is important, however, to realize that a positive mental attitude is not meant to be a cure-all for all our troubles. But, here is where it scores:
Try to observe the glaring difference, and try to do some positive self talk exercises, if you haven’t yet. Here now are some of the common examples of positive self talk. Okay for instance, when optimistic or positive people try to explain bad stuff or situations, they externalize them-”the traffic caused it”, view them as separated-”that portion of the diet did not work, but…”, and think of them as just temporary-”that was a difficult day”.
But it is better not to change your basic traits. You are accepted for these, and every person is different from the other. Hence the emphasis on not copying other traits. But you can learn that same skill and be able to use it in your own way. If the person you want to emulate is very outgoing, you could try to be a little more open and quiet in opening up with a stranger, and not be as boisterous as the person whom you were trying to emulate.
Positive thoughts can be replace the negative ones that you have. You have to work for it. It’s not easy. You are not a chameleon who can change his colors depending upon the circumstances. If you were so, you would find yourself out on the streets, not having a social or even an official life because of the inability to stay within your character and not changing it due to circumstances. You are not a boot licker, and you should stay that way.
Some of the most common positive self talk: “Yeah it rained, but the whole travel was still enjoyable.” “I know I can do this; I’ve done this before.” “It only went bad because of the traffic.” “This is by far one of the great parties I’ve been.” “It was quite difficult during that moment.” Examples of negative self talk. “That business proposal was good, not like mine.” “Damn, I failed AGAIN.” “That did great, I think…” “I always screw up whenever I have a date.” “This fun will not last…count on it.” See the difference now? When pessimistic persons describe bad things, they try to internalize them-”Oh no, it’s my fault again”, generalize them-”Everything is a mess”, and think of them as fixed and long-lasting-”It always happens like this”.
And what about when they expound on the good stuff? That’s the time they externalize-”Well, that was just sheer luck, really”, they view them only in a particular setting or situation-”Now at least, this one I got it right.” And think of them as not permanent-”That is good, for now.” Now that you noticed that difference, don’t you think that you’d better switch to positive self talk instead? From now on, strive to explain stuff to yourself in a different manner, and there you’ll also see (and feel) a brand new difference in your mindset and attitude today. Start making that positive self talk now a part of your life and a whole new you will emerge
