I say that because I have been wavering the past couple of days on how I should be thinking. Staying positive or remaining in a positive thinking<\/strong> mode can be difficult at times.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if that last sentence really made much sense, what I am trying to say is it is not easy to be a positive thinking person at all times. I am having a bit of writers block as well so bare with me.<\/em><\/p>\n Just because I have been having a couple of off days does not mean this will always be how it is. I really enjoy being positive so much more than being negative. I don\u2019t think anyone really wants to be negative at least I hope not.<\/p>\n Now I went to my favorite information site google and found this. If you should be having a bad day.<\/p>\n 1. Remember that the past does not equal the future.<\/b><\/p>\n There is no such thing as a \u201crun of bad luck.\u201d The reason people believe such nonsense is that the human brain creates patterns out of random events and remembers the events that fit the pattern.<\/p>\n 2. Refuse to make self-fulfilling prophesies.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n If you believe the rest of your day will be as challenging as what\u2019s already happened, then rest assured: You\u2019ll end up doing something (or saying) something that will make sure that your prediction comes true.<\/p>\n 3. Get a sense of proportion.<\/b><\/p>\n Think about the big picture: Unless something life-changing has happened (like the death of a loved one), chances are that in two weeks, you\u2019ll have forgotten completely about whatever it was that has your shorts in a twist today.<\/p>\n 4. Change your threshold for \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Decide that a good day is any day that you\u2019re above ground. Similarly, decide that a bad day is when somebody steals your car and drives it into the ocean. Those types of definitions make it easy to be happy\u2013and difficult to be sad.<\/p>\n 5. Improve your body chemistry.<\/b><\/p>\n Your body and brain are in a feedback loop: A bad mood makes you tired, which makes your mood worse, and so forth. Interrupt the pattern by getting up and moving around.\u00a0 Take a walk or eat something healthy.<\/p>\n 6. Focus on what\u2019s going well.<\/b><\/p>\n The primary reason you\u2019re convinced it\u2019s a bad day is that you\u2019re focusing on whatever went wrong. However, for everything going badly, there are probably dozens of things going well.\u00a0 Make list, and post it where it\u2019s visible.<\/p>\n 7. Expect something wondrous.<\/b><\/p>\n Just as an attitude of doom and gloom makes you see more problems, facing the future with a sense of wonder makes you alive to all sorts of wonderful things that are going on, right now, everywhere around you.<\/p>\n This came from INC. magazine as written by Geoffery James.<\/p>\n After reading that I can see that maybe things are not as bad as I thought. I remain a positive thinking<\/strong> person but we all have our moments right.<\/p>\n Join me and even more positive thinking people by clicking the link below.positive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Positive Thinking or Staying On Track I say that because I have been wavering the past couple of days on how I should be thinking.
