You might already know that thinking positive and being optimistic is important for being happy and bringing good things into your life. For many of us, it's a daily struggle to be optimistic and believe that our dreams can come true. Feeling trapped or depressed about our life and circumstances can lead to depression, sadness and the thought that things will never change. Eliminating these negative thought patterns and trying to be optimistic is often very difficult but there are a few things that you can do to get moving in the right direction and become happier in the process.
When our life is in turmoil, often mornings are the most difficult time. You're confronted with worry and fear before you even get out of bed. It's another day filled with the same problem that you had when you went to sleep and chances are you didn't sleep very well, to begin with. You dread the day with the job that you despise or the relationship that you wish would change or the impending phone calls from bill collectors. No matter what the situation might be, it greets you as your reality seeps in and you're defeated before the day even begins.
While you might be tempted to just want to call it a day before it even begins, make your first thought one of kindness to yourself. Understand that this is a pattern and a habit. You wake up and you start to worry. Instead, make a conscious decision to not think about the problem or even try to come up with a solution first thing in the morning. Pretend that you're a little child with sleep still in your eyes. You're innocent and vulnerable. Don't insist that you come face to face with this so called reality and instead tell yourself that you love yourself and that you're not going to think about the problem until you're fully awake. This might not be until you've had a cup of coffee or a shower or you could even set a time limit on this. Tell yourself that you're not going to be ready to deal with all of this until 11:00 or until after lunch, if necessary.
Knowing that you're thinking in a negative fashion or that you're worrying excessively is another thing that you can do to circumvent the real problem at hand. Knowing that you're working against yourself and focusing on the problem instead of allowing a solution to come into your mind might be a good way to look at this. Fear and worry cloud your judgement. They block your intuition while positive thoughts filled with optimism about your ability to find a solution to the problem at hand helps your mind to work to find that solution.
Seeing that you're worrying too much can often snap you out of this pattern and enable you to take action when the time is right. Fear is a part of our instinct that keeps us out of trouble but part of that fear instinct causes us to freeze in our tracks. This is the same thing that happens to a wild animal caught in the middle of a highway. Fear can be a powerful emotion that can help us to do amazing things but when it causes us to freeze or become overly worrisome then our life and our dreams will be found dead along the side of the road of life. Relieve yourself of that worry or debilitating fear by thinking off into the future. What will your life be like when you solve this problem? How will it feel to have all of your bills paid and up to date? Will you smile when you have the loving relationship that you want and need? How fast will you spring out of bed when your days are filled with doing some work that you love? Think of these things, close your eyes and experience these emotions whenever you're overcome with worry and fear.
Persistence is the key to eliminating negative thoughts and worry from your life. Not allowing negative thoughts to take up too much of your time and energy while focusing on finding a solution is possible and practical. Those negative thoughts very well might come back but if you are ruthless about recognizing them for what they are. Focus on your life without the problem and you will find that you're happier, healthier and more motivated to change your life.
Visualizing and dreaming are both tools that you can use to free your mind from worry and fear. Feeling as if you are actually living a different life without these problems will begin the process of allowing your mind to find a solution to any problem that you might be having. Every great thing in this world began with a thought. Let your mind roam free and give yourself permission to dream about the things that will make you happy. Is it a loving relationship, a life free of debt or a career that brings you joy and fulfillment? No matter what it is, you deserve to be happy.
