Learning Daily While Expanding Your Mind

Do you have a cold or the flu? When someone asks how you’re doing, all you can say is a mumbled “fine.” Are you feeling down and out? It’s possible that the answer is much more straightforward than you originally thought.

It’s true what they say about the power of our thoughts. Every little thing can go wrong when we aren’t happy with our lives or the way the day is going. There’s a problem with that: life isn’t predictable. It’s possible to have a great day, followed by a terrible day. Weather, politics, and other factors beyond your control make it difficult to feel good about yourself or your life in general.

The answer is right there in front of you. You’ll notice a shift in your outlook once you learn to think positively.

What are some ways to cultivate a mindset of optimism?

Rephrase

It’s a no-brainer: use more uplifting vocabulary. Try to find a more positive way to say things instead of saying something negative out loud or in your head. In contrast to popular belief, work doesn’t have to be drudgery in order to be interesting. The more you rephrase things, the easier it will be to find a more positive spin. While this might seem artificial and forced at first.

Reframe

How many times have you used the word ‘have to’ in your conversation? Forcing someone to do something they don’t want to is a negative connotation in and of itself. Instead of using the word ‘have,’ try using the word ‘get,’ instead. There is no deadline for completing a presentation by this Friday. You’ll be given the opportunity to perform one. What’s the difference between the two? When a task becomes an opportunity, you’ve successfully transformed it.


Reorient

Disasters will, undoubtedly, occur. Even if you try your best, the results may not be as you had hoped. Instead of dwelling on the tragedy, try shifting your attention elsewhere. It’s possible it’s time to try a new approach or set new objectives.

Relax

When you’re completely exhausted and believe you’re in over your head, it’s difficult to maintain a positive outlook. Taking a break and giving yourself some leeway can help you develop more positive self-talk. When you return rejuvenated, everything will look better.

Reassess

Being optimistic does not mean ignoring or numbing yourself to suffering or injustice. There will be catastrophes everywhere. Those with a positive outlook, on the other hand, can see past the tragedy and move forward. With positivity, you can see solutions where others see nothing but difficulties and difficulties only. This is where activism and social change are born.
