EXPERTS HAVE SOME TIPS FOR POSITIVE THINKING

Admit it – we live in a hostile world in which all of us have a constant need to be accepted, loved and admired. Our fears, dislikes and outbursts are mostly mere manifestations of our negative thoughts. When you send out negative thoughts, you’re most likely to attract more negativity in your life.

People often underestimate the power of positive thinking. We think, ‘How can I affect the outcome of my actions by just thinking in a particular way?’ But have you ever thought about the fact that there isn’t a single moment when you aren’t thinking and that everything that happens, begins with a thought?

One positive thought can change your attitude towards a task, which in turn changes the outcome. Experts say that if you want to live longer, be happy, healthy and successful, thinking positive plays a big role. Easier said than done, here’s how you can start...

Recognize negative thoughts as they arise and bury them before they take root. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Imagine how you’d look back at the situation the next day.

Hang out with people who think positive. When you surround yourself with people who are a delight to be around, you will start behaving like them too. While negative thoughts attract negativity, positive people are very likely to attract positive thoughts.

Eat right and exercise regularly. When you look good on the outside, it’s easier to feel good on the inside.

Live in the present. Most of our negativity stems from past regrets or future fears —‘I wish I’d acted differently’ or ‘I wish this doesn’t go wrong.’ However, the present is the only time we have and living in it will make you happier.

De-clutter your home. And your life. Surround yourself with things that you love and things that make you feel good. Photographs of loved ones, plants, flowers, art, puzzles or anything that has value for you will bring happy thoughts.

Be happy with what you are and what you have. Don’t try to be someone you aren’t. If you’re not satisfied with the person you are, identify what you don’t like and change that aspect of yourself. Concentrate on what you have and not what you lack.

Have a goal in mind that you would like to pursue. Keep yourself busy in planning it out. It can be anything from wanting to go skydiving to winning a competition or pursuing a hobby.

While not everybody may believe completely in the power of positive thinking, follow these simple tips and notice the impact it has on your life!

To-Do Lists

The Key to Efficiency   Do you frequently feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do? Do you face a constant barrage of looming deadlines? Or do you sometimes just forget to do something important, so that people have to chase you to get work done?   All of these are symptoms of not keeping a proper "To-Do List". To-Do Lists are prioritized lists of all the tasks that you need to carry out. They list everything that you have to do, with the most important tasks at the top of the list, and the least important tasks at the bottom.    While this sounds a simple thing to do, it's when people start to use To-Do Lists properly that they often make their first personal productivity / time management breakthrough, and start to make a real success of their careers.   By keeping a To-Do List, you make sure that you capture all of the tasks you have to complete in one place. This is essential if you're not going to forget things. And by prioritizing work, yo...

According to a recent study, cutting down on soft drinks reduces the risk of a stroke by eight per cent and coronary heart disease by almost five per cent. “Our findings suggest that reducing sugar sweetened beverages and sugar consumption may be an important dietary strategy to lower blood pressure and further reduce other blood pressure related diseases,” reveals Liwei Chen, the lead author of the study. On the other hand, fruit juices are a smart addition to any well-balanced diet, providing vitamins and min...
