Get ready to go with these positive thinking tips
Life shows up in different ways - sometimes what happens is convenient to you, like when you receive money unexpectedly; while other times what happens is inconvenient to you, like having a new boss who dislikes you.
You cannot quite control what happens - but you can control how you deal with what happens. You can practice having a positive attitude so that you learn to face events with a positive and helpful frame of mind, if only to make life easier for yourself.
I hear you, "Easier said than done".
No worries! That's why I've put together for you these tips for positive thinking.
The following tips have helped me in different occasions to change my focus and adopt a positive outlook:
Lareena from Canada gives us this useful tip:
"Record/upload all your favorite affirmations, positive quotes and most importantly songs or music you find that are positive, on an MP3 player or Ipod and have it handy with you at all times. You can't think of much else and can't help but smile when you're listening to your favourite music!!!"
Rajan from India says:
"Be COOL & POSITIVE before starting anything and reach your GOAL with full SUCCESS."
Manoj from India says:
"The goals that fulfill us most are normally those that have to do with personal interests: skydiving, learning to paint, traveling to a remote country, winning a competition... We pursue them in a pure act of self-fulfillment, and in doing so we find joy."
Netshivhuyu Phumudzo from South Africa shares a couple of thoughts:
"When you look for a solution do not go around - sometimes you are the answer."
"Be responsible not of their comments about you, but of your actions for them to comment."
Swetha from India wrote:
"You can become a positive thinker simply by focusing on solutions rather bothering about problems... Always remember to rule your emotions; don't let emotions rule you."
Mishall from Norway wrote:
"If you're grateful enough about what you have, you will not worry about what you don't have."

Carol from Barbados wrote:
"Surround yourself with positive people, let go of the complainers and moaners, they only get you sucked into a negative mindset. Spend time with happy optimistic people and you will feel happier and begin to take on their traits."
