Replace The Negatives In Your Life, With Positives And Move Your
Life Ahead.
If you want to move your life ahead, you should replace the
negatives in your life with positives. This article will show
you how to take the negative influences in your life away and
replace them with positives, so you will have increases in
morale, and productivity. Focus on the positive for success and
peak performance.
Most of us are not aware of the amount of negative influences
in our lives. We are bombarded with negative messages from the
media, the people around us, and most damaging of all,
ourselves.
The first step in the process in replacing negatives with
positives in your life is to make a decision to start looking
for the negative messages and ways to replace them with
positives. Decide that you will focus on the positive in this
world.
Begin to drastically cut down on the amount of news you take
in. Most people start their day with the news. And of course
most of the news is bad news, fires, floods, etc. Then it is on
to traffic and weather, which also stresses the negatives. So by
the time you have finished your coffee, you have had enough bad
news to last a week. Does all this bad news make you want to
throw open the door and greet the new days, no quite the
opposite. And how about the way we end the day? Many of us
watch the news before going to bed and get a big dose of
negative information just before trying to go to sleep. Is it
any wonder so many people have trouble sleeping? The mood we
are in before we go to sleep carries over to the next morning,
so you are setting yourself up for starting the next day in a
bad mood. Odds are you don’t need all that negative information
you are taking in from the news, and you will function just fine
without it.
Replace the news you were taking in with such things as,
motivational tapes, uplifting music and sites such as
happynews.com, that stress good news. Also reading empowering
books helps a great deal. Books can be a fantastic way to
recharge your life. Look for success stories, biographies of
successful people, etc and see what works for you. You will
begin to feel better right away.
Your next step is to limit the amount of TV you watch. A recent
study showed that 78% of the people watching TV, are not
interested in the program they are watching at any given time.
So watching TV is probably making you bored at best, and taking
you away from actives that would be more fun. Prime time is the
period when most people are watching TV; you can make it your
prime time by turning off the TV and using that time to move
your life ahead.
Next you need to limit your exposure to negative people. Most
people don’t realize how draining it is to be around negative
people, but they drain your energy and spirit in many ways.
Negative people pull you down, so work to remove them from your
life to the extent you can. Never get involved in the office
pity party, or complaint sessions that come your way. Seek out
people that support you and that you feel good being around and
use these people to replace the negative people in your life.
The most damaging source of negativity is ourselves. Most of us
generate lots of negative self talk that our minds accept as the
truth and results in our being held back in many ways. We focus
on our shortcomings, our problems, and spend our time
predicting more bad news for ourselves, generating lots of fear
and worry, while undercutting our ability to try new things,
etc. Begin to focus on the positive aspects of you. What are
your unique strengths, what have you accomplished, how are you
different and better than other people? Use visualization and
affirmations to build images of yourself accomplishing the
things you want and use these to replace the negative images.
Give yourself lots of credit for everything you do right, so
you are getting even more positive news about yourself. Also,
set aside three minutes every day to think about all the good
things you have in your life right now. The process of thinking
of the good things in your life, will generate good feelings for
you that will last much of the day.
Don’t forget to take care of your body. Eat healthy, cut out
some bad habits, and get regular exercise in order to boost
your self-esteem while building your strength and endurance, so
you can accomplish more.
Helping others will also help you feel better about yourself.
Take time to get involved in a charity, animal shelter, or
other activates that help others. You will get good feedback
from others and develop a genuine sense that you are a good
person. What you put out comes back to you, so make sure it is
good that goes out.
By replacing the negatives in your life, with positives, you
will make yourself and probably the world a better place. You
will feel better mentally and physically, plus accomplish many
of the things you wanted to. Nothing is ever accomplished
without action, so start now to move your life ahead.
