-Positive Media
Nothing gets me more pumped up than an inspirational book, podcast or magazine article. Strive to start your day on a good note.
Be aware of time you are spending feeding into negative media, and actively works towards eliminating it.
Wake up and read a few pages of a motivational book or article.
Too busy first thing in the morning? Listen to a podcast while you get ready for the day ahead. Check out the top 10 podcasts to motivate and inspire.
By beginning your day with positivity you're already filling your mind with good vibes. The positive energy builds up early on and carries you through the day.
Erasing Negative Thoughts
It's inevitable, negative thoughts are going to cross your mind. You don't have to act on them though.
Choose to end the thought right than and there. Allow it to pass by and exchange each negative with a positive. Think about it and don't react immediately.
Be conscience of what thoughts are running through your head, acknowledge them and let them go. This will take training, but will become natural over time.
If you are reading this, chances are you are already aware of what thoughts run through your head on a daily basis. You may already be aware of what triggers them as well.
But how do you erase them? Avoid the triggers, face reality and if you have to, remove yourself from gossip and stop scrolling facebook.
I suggest to perform a little self reflection session on yourself. A lot of negativity stems from false speculation that your own mind conjures up. Whatever bad thoughts immediately come to your mind during reflection, write them down on a piece of paper.
Then I want you crumble up the piece of paper and throw it away. Physically clear your mind and repeat when needed. Make a vow to yourself to stop the negative self talk, quit the judging and replace each with something positive.
You need to take control of the negative thoughts now. If not they will continue to build up inside of you and cloud your head. You don't what the dark rain cloud hovering over your head everywhere you go. If not taken care of, the negativity will hold you back.
It will not only cause stress and gloom, but also will hold you back from enjoying life. You will miss out on all the good stuff.
Change your Mindset and Attitude
You need to actively train your brain to make a lasting change. It won't happen over night, but take the steps towards a positive mindset and attitude.
Treat your brain as if it were your muscles in the gym. You can't lift a weight or take just one workout class and expect to see results.
Consistently training your brain creates new pathways. These new pathways aid in keeping the negative at bay. Over time, positive thoughts will come about more easily.
Surround yourself with positive company. Feed off of their positive energy to build yourself up. Talk positive, think positive, live positive and the results are endless. Open the shades to your mind and let the light shine in.
You my friend can achieve anything when your mind is free and open!
