If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive ( 积 极 ). When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune ( 不 幸 ) keeps happening.It is important to change those negative thoughts to something positive. If not, you will only attract more misfortune.
It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you.
You can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps. If you start one small, positive thing and appreciate ( 感 激 ) it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life. With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you.
Here are a few common examples for you to practice. Begin and end each day with a "Thank you for this wonderful day!" When you see the rise of gas prices, say "I am so glad to have a car in which to get around." When your boss is too hard on you, say "I am grateful for my job as I know that many don't have one." If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: "I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk. my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works."
Write down whatever you're grateful for each day. In moments when you're feeling really down, read aloud what you wrote. This will certainly help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer.
The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. The more you appreciate, the happier you'll be.
