Make some positive changes in your life

in #life7 years ago

One of the most natural things you may discover about life is that change is inevitable. In the same vein, most people resist change. You may even be prepared to make a change, but something holds you back in your comfort zone.

Taking action becomes difficult, and before you know it, you fall back into your old routine. But this does not have to be. You can get out of that place. Read on to find out more about how to make positive changes in your life.

The first thing you should do is to identify why you need to make positive changes in your life. No matter your resolution, if you don’t have a strong ‘why,’ you will not be motivated to make that change you desire. When you define your core value by identifying what is important to your life, your gut feelings will be triggered, and you will take steps to move to the next level.

Secondly, purge your mind of negative thoughts. This is not an easy feat for if you live or are surrounded by negativity, it can be excruciatingly difficult to have a joyful and positive life. You will be surprised to note that people filled with negativity are usually sick, more stressed out, and are open to small opportunities.

Therefore, to get out of that rut, you need to make up your mind to be positive in all situations and at all times. Back it up with action by reading books on positivity and meeting with people who have a more positive outlook on life. Be willing to take baby steps by doing the following:

• Smile more often, or better still laugh more;
• Be prepared to help others;
• Stop playing the victim at all times and accept responsibility for your actions (or inactions);
• Be around positive people. Rub minds with them;
• Change how you think. Be more optimistic about life as against being pessimistic;
• Be grateful for every situation;
• Approach problems with a positive outlook and solutions.

Once again, this is easier said than done, but with determination, you will get there.
Performing exercises are therapeutic; not only are they great for you physically but it is an excellent way to obtain that positive vibe you need in your life.

Exercises make you feel better about yourself, thus boosting your confidence. It also helps to get rid of anxiety, reduce stress while releasing euphoric chemicals or neurotransmitters like dopamine and endorphins in your brain. The benefits of performing physical drills are immeasurable. You become more disciplined, gain purpose and drive.

You should also engage in acts of kindness; reach out to people you can help and are not in the position to pay you back. By being kind to others – buying a cup of coffee for your colleague, paying the toll fee for the vehicle coming up behind you – you start feeling good as an individual. Kindness has the power to make you more optimistic and positive about life.

Closing with this quote from The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden: ‘No one is coming.’ That means all these tips will not work until you put in the work.

You are directly responsible for the outcome of your life. You can choose to remain where you are, in the dark pit of negativity or change your circumstance by making the positive changes outlined above. It’s your choice.

Stay positive and think positive :D

To make a positive change in one's life, the person needs to be determined, focused, persistent in hardwork and avoid laziness and procrastination. all these leads to a right attitude.

change is the only constant thing in life, and like you rightly put it, positive changes makes big differences, negative changes are experiences to learn from

I love rubbing my mind with positive people! That's why I follow you and many other Steemit blog posters that brighten my day. This platform has helped me a lot in being happier and more productive. Love it! :D

Thank you so much for sharing your post on staying positive and what it takes in order to try to cut out as much negativity as possible within your own life in order to stay on the positive track.

I am currently reading hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson, PhD. It gets into the exact details of your brain and the science behind being content, calm, and having confidence. We are still slowly but surely doing the research on the brain to find out exactly what we can do in order to help those who have a chemical imbalance that keeps them from being able to achieve positivity like those who do not have the chemical imbalance. I started following you and hopes to read more on these types of topics.

I knew that I have to do some positive changes in my life and one of them will be to bring back steemit in my life! Thank you for your support bro.
