How to practice positive thinking?

Those who think positively, get more out of life. They live happier. They live healthier. They have better relationships with other people. They don’t take life too seriously. They live like winners and win as they go through life. Sad and gray was yesterday. Today, optimism is in demand and on the rise.

Starwoman: My way of positive thinking is this mental mantra: “hold your head up high, don’t let anything get you down.”

Jenny: There’s good to be found in everything. You just have to learn to recognize it.

Man: Don’t take everything too seriously. The sunshine comes out after the rain. There is a positive aspect to everything.

Monika: Stop any worthless thoughts. Tell yourself: ”Stop! That’s not how it goes!” if worthless thoughts run through your mind. Replace negative thoughts with new and encouraging thoughts. Positive mantras such as “I can do it.” Repeat these self-encouragement mantras several times daily. Think out a nice, positive thought that feels good for you! Then sit down for five minutes and think this thought for the entire time. Feel the good feelings in you. If you stray from the good thought, then just let it happen and bring yourself back to the positive thought gently. With practice, positive thinking gets easier.

Helga: After the death of my husband, I did autogen training for 1 year on a regular basis. Since that time, I’ve managed to think positively. That wasn’t always the case with me. With positive thinking, life is easier and it’s easier to find reasons to be glad.

David: One should be able to rest and find calm within the self. Listen to yourself and don’t allow yourself to be influenced by the negativity of others.

Rick: Meditate and concentrate on Buddha or another positive role model.

Sabrina: You can write down 10 nice things every evening. At first it’s difficult but after awhile it will get easier to think of things that went well during the day or that were pleasant. That way, you’ll also get better at seeing the small things that are positive and as a result you’ll be able to think more positive, too.

Mathilde: My methods

Everything is in God’s hands.

God loves me and I don’t need to have fear.

Whatever I can’t change, I accept.

Don’t let people aggravate you.

Religion and the Bible have always helped me.

They’ve accompanied me through my life and influenced my life.

A master is yet to fall from the sky.

Mistakes are there for us to learn from.

God doesn’t burden people with more than they can handle.

I’ve always tried to live my life in a way that makes me happy.

I’ve tried to be harmony with myself and to live from my inner guidance.

I have experience a lot of negative things.

Somehow I’m a rugged person who always gets back up when knocked down with a strong will to survive.
