To be positive – Isn’t that something we all aspire to be and to feel in life? Embracing the sheer joy each moment brings whilst looking forward into the future with extreme excitment. Knowing that tomorrow is going to be better than today and that today is going to be better than yesterday – even though yesterday went extremely well!
However. Positivity isn’t all sunshine and gold, there will be times when you have to walk right into the heart of a storm and face the negativity – but you shouldn’t fear. These times will test you and try to break down your barrier of positive light, but it is in these times where you will need to harness the power of your positive mental attitude more than ever – doing so will provide you with massive growth of self and it will help to calm the extremities of the storm.
Sounds awesome right!
So – how does one go about gaining the power of a ‘Positive Mental Attitude’ and then continue to use the power of positivity without falling back into previous states of negativity?
Firstly you must realise that you do not need to gain a positive mental attitude, it is something that we were all born with – just think back to when you were much younger learning how to walk, you didn’t have negative thoughts like “Oh I am never going to be able to walk. I suck. I’m going to be such a failure!” Instead it seemed like we would just embrace the challenge of learning to walk and have intense amounts of fun and joy whilst doing so – so why as we get older, do we stimulate a sense of negativity when we encounter a challenge in life?
The truth is, there are many reasons behind the negative mental attitudes that many fall into – but that isn’t what we are here to speak about today, so that can be a topic for a later date.
Today I want to share one of my four biggest tips on keeping a tightly regulated positive mental attitude. This one technique is one that I implement into my daily life and have found massive success upon utilising. I hold the strongest faith that if you put this technique into practice then you to, will find massive success and an upsurge of consistent positive energy creating a happier, brighter life experience!
1: The positive mental attitude – even in times of hardship and struggle.
It is easy to feel positive and uplifted when everything is going your way, when life feels as if it couldn’t be any more perfect – but how easy is it for you to feel positive and uplifted when everything seems to be going wrong, when life feels like it is no longer durable?
Chances are, like many others, you find that it’s not that easy to stay positive during times of hardship and struggle. I was there myself at one point and it is a difficult barrier to break through, but hopefully what I am about to say can enlighten you…
You have to realise that being positive has nothing to do with what is going on around you in life – it is simply a deep, harmonious state of mind and ironically enough, when we think about the positives we end up attracting more positives into our life, sparking more positive thoughts.
When we think about the negatives, it works exactly the same. Except when we are thinking negatively, we are in a destructive state of mind. YES – negative thinking can literally destroy your own lifes work which, as you can imagine, creates a vicious cycle of negativity.
Which one do you choose to be? Positive? Or negative?
It isn’t a hard choice to make, which is ultimately all it is – a choice. You either choose to be positive and live in harmony with self, or, you choose to be negative and live at war with yourself.
What to do during times of hardship and struggle:
When you face a hardship, a challenge or a struggle in life you should always remain positive and open about the fact that it isn’t going to last forever. Which is the truth – because nothing lasts forever, not even the stars in our night sky.
I want you to think back, to all of the times when you faced a difficult time in life that you thought may last forever and ruin your life… Go on. I’m sure there have been plenty of times – but are you still there now? No – you moved forward in life and moved on from those difficult times.
It is important to reaffirm that ,in the end, the hardship will pass and that you will be all okay. You can do so by thinking positive thoughts such as; “I may be in pain now but wounds heal and the pain will pass on – allowing me to become stronger” or “I may face a tough challenge but I am faithful that I can conquer this challenge, grow through it and come out victorious!”
The examples could go on but I am hopeful that you have gotten the gist.
It is important to keep hold of your positive mental attitude during tricky times in life because that positive mental attitude will allow the tough time to pass on quicker and it will allow you the potential to grow, learning from the bad times you faced – rather than destroying yourself because of them!
