If you want to know how to think positive, you probably aren’t that happy with your life. Maybe you worry a lot about yourself, the future, about your job. Or maybe you simply worry about anything!

The important thing here is that it’s your way of thinking that makes you feel uncertain and bad. You have to realize that how you feel depends on you – and only you. You could feel awesome right now, in this moment. There might be “problems” around you, but only as long as you see them as problems. Of course it’s helpful to identify problems, not to ignore them. But a lot of people are scared of any kind of problems, so the first thing they try to see in every new, unknown situation are the problems, the negative aspects. It’s obvious that you make your life unnecessary difficult and bad this way (as our thoughts shape our moods). This is called negative thinking.

So, the first step to positive thinking is to identify the way you are thinking. You need to recognize the destructive thoughts. Are you a pessimist type of person? Simply try to answer these questions:

1) In a bad situation, do you always expect the worst?

2) Imagine yourself in five years – are you scared?

3) If all your friends tell you about this great movie you simply have to see – you still have doubts?

4) Are your friends pessimistic?

5) Do you worry about things you can’t change?

6) If something good happens, do you think it happened by accident?

Now, if you have answered the most questions with “yes”, you definitely need to change your way of thinking. Here is a great technique to break the vicious circle of negative thinking: sit down for 15 minutes every day for some weeks and write down the thoughts that don’t let you sleep. Next, take a rational look at your notes. Are they true? Mostly there are not. Finally, you can rewrite them in a positive way.

Keep in mind: you don’t need to change yourself as a person. You need to change the way you think of things, the way you look at problems. This will not only improve the quality of your life but also attract other people – maybe even the mate of your dreams! For more information, take a look at this article:
