How to Avoid Negative Thoughts ?-(2)



  1. Meditate or do yoga
    Attending yoga classes is one of the therapeutic activities where your mind stays relaxed and calm. Regular yoga classes can have great effect on the body. It can take your focus away from thoughts and keep you attentive to your body and breathing process. Yoga is quite relaxing and helps to ease the mind. Instead of jumping to what could happen in the future, yoga can keep you grounded in the present moment, i.e. now – the only and most important moment.
  1. Smile
A smile is one of the best activities to relax oneself. It can change your mood and relieve the stress. The more you smile, the more lighter you are going to feel. Keep smiling, because it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown.
  1. Make your surrounding crowded with positive people
  2. Having a constructive friend is always better than piles of books. When you are stuck with negative thoughts, try to talk with people who can help you in putting things in perspective and won’t let you feed your negative thoughts. With so many positive things to focus on, you can surely avoid thoughts that hinder you.
    1. Help someone
    Keep your focus away from you. Try doing something nice for another person. Take a tray of food, and feed dogs or donate it into the Salvation Army. Just take your mind off things that bother you, and go forward, help someone. You are going to feel better.
    Modify the Nature of your thoughts from Negative to Positive
    Change your negative thoughts into positive. Let’s say, instead of thinking- “you are going to have a difficult time in adjusting to your present situation”, try thinking, “challenges are going to come in every situation, but you will stand up and come up with solutions to solve it and make yourself happy"

"This, too, shall pass,"

Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania did an intensive research on what creates learned helplessness. In his book Learned Optimism he reports on three specific patterns of beliefs that cause us to feel helpless and can destroy virtually every aspect of our lives. He calls these three categories permanence, pervasiveness, and personal. Many of our country's greatest achievers have succeeded in spite of running into huge problems and barriers. The difference between them and those who give up revolves around their beliefs about the permanence, or lack thereof, of their problems.  Achievers rarely, if ever, see a  problem as permanent, while those who fail, see even the smallest problems as permanent. Once you adopt the belief that there's nothing you can do to change something, simply because nothing you've  done up until now has changed it, you start to take a pernicious poison into your system. No matter what happens in your life, you've got ...

Problem Solving Questions ...............Continued

Every morning when we wake up, we ask ourselves questions. When the alarm goes off, what question do you ask yourself? Is it, How come I have to get up right now?," "Why aren't there more hours in the day?, "What if I hit the snooze alarm just one more time?" And as you get in the shower, what are you asking yourself? "Why do I have to go to work?," "How bad is the traffic going to be  today?," "What kind of stuff is going to be dumped on my desk today?" What if every day you consciously started asking a pattern of questions that would put you in the right frame of mind and that caused you to remember how grateful, happy, and excited you are? What kind of day do you think you'd have, with those positive emotional states as your filter?  Obviously it would affect how you feel about virtually everything. Realizing this, I decided I needed a "success ritual" and I created a series of questions that I ask myself ever...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...
