Be Positive !!! Make this as Your Attitude.
1. Meditate or do yoga.
Yoga is also very relaxing
which helped ease my mind. Yoga helped me stay present to my experience so
instead of jumping to what could happen, it brought me back to the now—the only
moment, the most important moment.
2. Smile Once A While.
I
didn’t do much of this during the weekend so I literally had to bring myself in
front of a mirror and force myself to smile. It really does help change your
mood and relieve stress. I also felt lighter because it takes fewer muscles to
smile than to frown.
3. Surround yourself with Positive Thinking People.
I
called a friend who I knew could give me constructive, yet loving feedback.
When you’re stuck in a negative spiral, talk to people who can put things into
perspective and won’t feed your negative thinking.
4. Change the Way of your thoughts
from negative to positive.
For
example, instead of thinking, “We are going to have a hard time adjusting to
our living situation,” think, “We will face some challenges in our living
situation, but we will come up with solutions that we will both be happy with.”
5. You create
your life—take responsibility.
The
way I was thinking and acting, you would think I was stuck. Even if our living situation becomes unbearable,
there is always a way out. I will always have the choice to make change happen,
if need be.
6. Help someone for Good Purpose.
Take
the focus away from you and do something nice for another person. I decided to make a tray
of food and donate it to the deprived people. It took my mind off of
things and I felt better for helping someone else.
7. Remember that no one is all bad and no one is all Good & let yourself move forward.
It’s
easy to dwell on your mistakes. I felt terrible that I acted this way and that
I wasted our weekend. The only thing I can do now is learn from my mistakes and
move forward. I definitely don’t want to have a weekend like that again.
8. Sing.
I
don’t remember lyrics very well and it’s probably the reason that I don’t enjoy
singing, but every time I do sing I always feel better . When we sing, we show
our feelings and this provides an amazing stress relief.
9. List the things that you are
grateful for right now.
Being
grateful helps appreciate what you already have. Here’s my list: My cats,
health, a six-week trip to Asia, a new yoga class that I’ll be teaching, and
for my mom’s biopsy coming out clean.
10. Read Positive Thoughts.
I
like to place Post-It notes with positive quotes on my computer, fridge door, and mirror as
reminders to stay positive. Also, I’d like to share with you a quote by an
unknown author
Watch
your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
