How to find an optimist in yourself?

A person is a small world in which there is a concept of good and evil, well-being and not prosperity. When we win and when to retreat, we understand only. People who do not want to experience pain from their spiritual wounds tend to forget them or take a useful lesson from their situation. People who think negatively, take old wounds for a long time and are absolutely convinced that they have no luck in life.

We create many problems with our attitude to life. Psychologists say that if you want a pessimist can become an optimist, only for this you need to work on yourself. To develop a positive attitude towards life will help simple exercises, only you need to do them every day!

Good memories. At the end of your day, summarize and try to remember at least three good events that happened to you. It can be even a trifle - for example, on the way home you heard a nightingale, or in the evening with your second half you went for a walk and ate an amazingly delicious ice cream, or you were complimented by a completely unfamiliar person. In time, you will learn to find something good in each of your days - and no matter if it was successful for you. Those who use this technique say that in two weeks the state of mind improves.

Drive bad thoughts. Many people are prevented from living a life full of bad memories, anxious thoughts and experiences. We seem to sink into them and sink. If you are familiar with this condition, learn to switch attention to something good whenever you start thinking about the bad. Do not let negative emotions and thoughts take over. In your mind, it should be clearly stated that you are able and can control the process of thinking. Studies have shown that after three weeks a person develops a habit of not allowing himself to think about the bad. But you need to do this constantly, therefore, act.

Meditation will help. If it is very difficult to switch attention from negative thoughts to positive ones, then try meditating. Eastern practice helps to get rid of psychological blockages, but on condition that you conduct sessions on a daily basis.

- Sit down, relax, focus on your breathing. Slowly count in reverse order from 10 to 1, imagine that you go to the river bank and see the boat. You decide to take a walk on the lake, lower the boat to the water and go into it. Take the oar and start rowing.

- You feel that the boat is very heavy and it is very hard for you to row, you notice a lot of heavy bags on the bow of the boat, that's why it's so difficult to row.

- You go to the nose of the boat and pick up the first bag with the inscription "Anxiety" and throw it overboard, it makes it easier to row, but something else hinders.

- You go again to the bags and throw out the next one, with the inscription "Fear", it becomes even easier to row, but there is some resistance.

- It's the turn of the last bag. This time it's a bag with the inscription "Low self-esteem".

- Now you are free, and enjoying a walk, easily slide on the water.

- Take a deep breath, slowly exhale. The lesson of meditation is over.

Right attitude. Psychologists believe that those who rarely smile, he can not think optimistically. At the same time, it is necessary that the smile be sincere, and not deceived. But if the mood is bad, or someone told you something bad, do not really want to smile. How to be?

Experts advise to do so. Close your eyes and remember what brings you positive emotions: a child, a funny animal, a funny situation, an anecdote ... As a result, you will involuntarily smile, the mood will get better and bad thoughts will go away.

Do not be afraid to be different. Being an optimist does not mean looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. On the contrary, one must perceive reality as it is, without minimizing and exaggerating the positive qualities of things. Occasionally it's good to be a pessimist, to have a critical attitude, but there are times when you need to cheer yourself up, adjust to good. In general, one must be able to be different, subject to intuition and the demands of the moment. Then you will feel freedom and enjoy life.
